    Chacom Tobacco?

    Just found out my local tobacconist stocks the full Chacom range, in Northern Ireland

    Early Morning Pipe or Nightcap?

    I highly recommend giving royal yacht a go, it is sublime

    Need Help Smoking a Briar.

    Thanks, will look into those pipes… once I’ve amassed a healthy reservoir of tobaccos that is; for now I’m happy with the cobs as they’re cheap and cheerful for a beginner… I’m a reformed cigarette smoker so for now just want something that is reliable and delivers nice smoke with a minimum of...

    Revor Plug - wow!

    I had some success with it, by rubbing it into two separate piles: one of fine, small pieces and one of larger flakes. Then alternating them into layers within the bowl. Think the larger surface area of the finer grind serves to burn a little hotter and ignite the larger pieces.. still required...

    Need Help Smoking a Briar.

    I have been using the same 2/3 blends in both pipe varieties; have had some success with the briar on occasion, so it is likely a subtle change in how ive been packing the tobacco. Fine margins though! Was just thinking as well, the shape of my briar bowl is more spherical in nature (I believe...

    Thanks for the advice fellows!

    Need Help Smoking a Briar.

    In a nutshell: Every time I smoke a cob it’s great; stays lit and smokes very well. Usually with the briar it is either getting too hot, or not staying lit… I realise it likely takes a bit more practice to use effectively, but specifically (so I don’t waste tobacco or injure the pipe) is it...

    Revor Plug - wow!

    Your friend could easily get you some online and ship it to you- if not I could even do that, but not sure how legal or frowned upon it is to discuss such matters on this forum?

    Revor Plug - wow!

    Smoke-king is a UK online retailer, not sure if they ship outside of Europe though (I find it very difficult to order such products from the states at any rate)

    Revor Plug - wow!

    I’m new to the hobby so forgive my lack of pertinent vocabulary (this isn’t so much a review as a declaration of love) This tobacco is sensational. Rich, round, leathery and creamy, with thick clouds of unassuming triumph left floating in its wake. Slow, consistent burn produces a delightfully...

    Beautiful view! Is it yours?

    Thanks for the tip, will get a bit next time im on a spree… Smoke-king is a great site, had an order from there arrive today actually; brown pigtail, dark flake and revor plug, all from Gawith… the pigtail has been sampled and has my staunch approval!

    Yes, I have only scratched the surface but seems like a highly rewarding hobby; way more to it than I’d previously imagined

    Thanks, he’s a great goose deterrent! Think I’ve hit the jackpot early with the royal yacht, which is nice as I can stock up and keep it as a staple… had some brown pigtail twist arrive today which will be interesting to try. Didn’t even realise RY was an aromatic! They have nailed the recipe at...

    Yes that royal yacht hit the spot, gave me a borderline religious experience! Don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a finer tobacco experience, cigars included

    Greetings From Belfast

    Hey! My mother’s side of the family are all from Fermanagh. Small world! Yes I am a regular there, not yet for pipe tobacco though… will be making a trip once this tin of Yacht evaporates!

    Greetings From Belfast

    Thanks! Have you got any recommendations for tobacco similar (or different) to royal yacht? I’m a former cigarette smoker so appreciate higher nicotine contents

    Haha I should have said it‘s like Marlboro Red without the formaldehyde; how those cigarettes would taste in your imagination if you’d never smoked before and saw the cowboy advertisements as a child And thanks! It was the dog’s second birthday yesterday so he got a Burger King

    Greetings From Belfast

    Hello everyone, Finding the pipe much more agreeable upon my second attempt to take up the hobby; I’m more patient now and took the time to experiment with different tobaccos… and have discovered my dream smoke! Royal Yacht is just perfect for me, it’s like smoking a Marlboro red from the 50s...
