    What is the sweetest smoking pipe you own ?

    It's probably been asked before, but what the heck. What is the sweetest smoking pipe you have. Pipe design, construction and break in is an interesting topic to me and it got me to thinking. What is the sweetest smoking pipe I have? I should clarify, by "sweetest" I am referring to the most...

    English or Balakans that age wonderfully

    I have recently learned of the magic of GLP Blackpoint with 13-14 years on it. The only other blends I have smoked with 10 or more on it has been GLP Renaissance 2002. I am now keeping a lookout for aged blends to build a little cellar. Will you guys please list a few blends (sticking to...

    Im looking for something stinky

    I love tobaccos that smell like composting earth and decomposing matter. Margate to me has a very musty scent like rotting tree, and wet earth rich with hummus. Gaslight smells like old fruit left out in the sun, barnyard, and ashy pasture (borders on cowpie). If you can think of a unique and...

    Black point - GLP aged

    A week or so ago, I bought an aged tin of Blackpoint from pipestud. I had never smoked this stuff, but I figured an english with 13 years or so of age probably can't go wrong, so why not. Rarely do I smoke a bowl of something new and immediately declare it perfect and delicious, but it was, so...

    Quintessential tobacco - Survey says.....

    I had a thought regarding tobacco and its geographic origins or influences last night. I'll admit I don't know a great deal of tobacco history, but it may not matter for this census. I'm more interested in what you members would consider the best representative of each category would be. Please...

    Bulk Nightcap from P&C

    Can someone please review the difference between the bulk and tinned Nightcap? I am thinking of jarring a good load for aging, and wonder if I would be happy with the bulk. Thanks

    Quiet Nights - just a thought

    I was looking to find a new Lat blend that did something just a little better than what I have. I read reviews and was sure GLP QN was gonna be a sure thing. Nope. Is it good? Sure, but doesn't offer me anything new or better, actually, a little boring, and predictable. It can't do the...

    What is a luxury blend tobacco ?

    I hear the term "luxury" used now and then, even in the name of some blends. Is this just an exercise is semantics, or is there a definition of luxury blend? After all, it seems that tobacco in and of itself is a matter of luxury. Is there really a distinction between a "regular" blend and a...

    The Days Last Smoke

    Besides the obvious choice of nightcap. What is a good FULL Latakia blend that is on the sweet side. Something like Frog M or FGOTP, but with some substantial nicotine. I've have not tried "and so to bed" does this fit the bill? thanks

    Advice on McClelland Orientals

    I stopped by my local tobacco shop the other day and picked up some McClelland Bulk. It was called Full Oriental, but I suspect its McClelland No. 2045. Tasty smoke, transitions between musty, sometimes slightly floral leaf and sweet Virginia. Latakia is in the back as a foundation. Weak, but...

    New guy

    Hello to all. This is my first post, I hope to gain some knowledge here. I've been a casual smoker for about the last 7-8 years. I prefer a latakia mixture, but really have found very little non-aromatics that I dislike. VaPer or Orientals are wonderful as well. Joe
