    P&C IPSD Cigar Pack In

    I'm not what you might call an experienced cigar smoker, though I do enjoy a stick every month or so. For IPSD, Pipes and Cigars handed out a 14 cigar sampler pack, which seems very generous. Can anyone assess the quality of these cigars? Are these leftover inventory? Any information would...

    Comparing 40th Anniversary to Carolina Red Flake

    This was a great opportunity to open a cellared tin. 40th Anniversary is a shade darker, and it has that amazing McClelland aroma of vinegar and rich tobacco. Carolina Red Flake smells like fresh hay and grass, and the flakes are less dense and more fragile. I'll be waiting for Cringle Flake...

    Available Straight Red Virginia Flake

    Hey everyone, as the title says, I'm looking for a straight red Virginia Flake that I can actually purchase in large numbers. Broken Flakes are okay--I'm looking for something like Christmas Cheer. Any recommendations are welcome.

    Smoking in the Car

    My car's getting old, it's about ten years now. I've never smoked in it, but now I'm thinking "why not?" How many of you smoke in the car? Is it a hassle while driving? I can imagine dropping the pipe in my lap and crashing into a vegetable garden.

    Mac Baren 1lb Bags

    How are you guys handling the HH Mac Baren bags? I’ve been putting everything in jars. Is anyone keeping them in the package for cellaring?

    Beetles, Beetles Everywhere

    A few months ago I bought a few whole leaf samples to try out some home recipes for plugs. I was hydrating the remainder of the leaf for a second batch, and when I reached to open the Burley, the entire inside of the bag was crawling with tobacco beetles. So I'm curious, I have a good number...

    TAD Therapy

    I might have gotten carried away the past couple of years with all the monthly tobacco purchases. Anyone find a good way to reduce their spending to reasonable levels, or am I hopeless? I wanted to save for a motorcycle but the monthly deals on all the sites are killing me, not to mention the...

    Cob Fails

    I poked these to see what would happen, dumb, yeah I know. Went right through. Can these be fixed?? How??

    Leaf Only Sample

    Bought my first batch of whole leaf to blend a plug. Half of it consists of broad, thick stems. We’ll see what happens.

    New GL Pease Blends?

    Now that new blends have started trickling in from the likes of C&D and others, where’s Greg on this? More plugs and flakes please.

    Stonehaven Recipe

    Hi everyone. Having never smoked Stonehaven, but eternally curious, I thought that I might make my own tribute blend. I understand Stonehaven is a VaBur with a black treacle topping. Anyone have any idea regarding the proportions of Virginias to Burley? I'd be grateful to hear your remarks.

    Who's Smoking?

    I was putting together a rather large order (for me, at least) on P&C...I had a twenty percent discount from a backorder...and I swear, it seemed as if every other tobacco that I normally smoke was put on back order or happened to be out of stock. So I'm wondering, who's smoking this stuff, is...

    Hey everyone, another blending question. For cigar leaf mixes, do you use the wrapper or the filler? Thanks for your help!

    Where to Buy Flavoring Agents for Home Blending?

    Hi everyone, does anybody know where I can buy flavors for my home blends? I was interested in buying familiar cherry/vanilla/chocolate flavorings. There are solutions available on Amazon, both water and alcohol based, but they are primarily made for consumption of food and drink. I last...

    Sillem's London "Silver Edition"

    This tin of tobacco had no label. I have never seen that before.

    Requesting Copies

    Given that some blends, including Penzance and Stonehaven, are perpetually out of stock, why doesn't another blender bother to make a faithful copy? Escudo has a number of clones, from LBF to Dunhill's Deluxe Navy Rolls. Why should this be any different? Having been unfortunate enough to have...

    Complexity

    Hey everyone, long time lurker, first time poster. I often read about the complexity of certain tobaccos. I was wondering, what would be your definition of complexity, and which blends do you think are a good showcase for complexity.
