    Frog Morton's Cellar

    After reading a couple of positive reviews about FMC, I sent off to Mars Cigars for a 100 gram tin. I've always been a fan of the Frog series and hoped this one would also be a favorite. To make a long story short, FMC is my favorite of the series and a top 5 tobacco for me. FMC has a rather...

    Frog Morton's Cellar

    I recently received an order from Pipes and Cigars that included 100gr. of Frog Morton's Cellar. I was a little leery at first because I remembered many, many years ago when I tried Borkum Rhiff Whiskey. It was horrible stuff and I couldn't finish the pouch. But I went ahead and ordered FMC...

    Good Old Zippo!

    During our move this summer I managed to lose my custom engraved Zippo lighter, which I had used for many years. I ordered a new Zippo pipe lighter and it arrived today. I filled it with fluid, flicked the wheel and it fired up immediately, like everyone I've ever had. I think the Zippo lighter...

    Opinions on metal pipes?

    I'm talking about the Falcons, Kirstens, Grabow Vikings, and whatever others are out there. I had a Kirsten and really liked it. One of the things I liked best was that you could get it really clean, although it took a little effort. It smoked heavy Latakia blends superbly. I don't have it...

    Anyone else have this problem?

    Like most of us here, I can't wait to try new tobaccos. My problem is that I like all kinds and am very over-stocked on tobacco. I'mm 60 years old and will probably have to live to be 100 to smoke it all up. I have a very understanding wife but her patience is wearing thin. By the way, most of...

    Desert Island Tobacco and Pipe?

    I'm sure this has been asked before but I'm still new here so I'll ask it again: if you were trapped on a desert island with only one tobacco blend and one pipe to smoke, what would it be? For me the tobacco would be #416 Plantation Evening from C&D and the pipe would be my Jan Zeman Latitude 41...

    Who is your favorite blender?

    Who is your favorite pipe tobacco blender? In the past mine would have been Bob "Morleysson" Runowski but unfortunately Bob left us last year. Right now I would nominate Russ Ouellette first with J.M. and Dan Boswell right behind. Craig Tarler and Carole Burns also deserve honorable mention...

    Any L.J. Peretti fans on here besides me?

    I started smoking Peretti tobaccos years ago and find them to be of the highest quality and very tasty. I particularly like Royal Blend, British Blend, Cuban Mixture, BPC (burley plug cut), D-7485, D-9507, Pride of Loch Lomond, and Park Square, my all-time favorite VA/Per. Anyone else like their...

    Boswell's Pennsylvania Dutch Treat

    I posted this review of PDT on TR.com several years ago. If you are an aromatic fan, this one's a winner! J.M. Boswell and his family have operated a well known pipe and tobacco shop in Chambersburg, PA for the last 31 years. They are well known for economical pipes that smoke like champs. I...

    How do you get new blends listed on Luxury Tobacco Reviews?

    I just started posting over there but found that some of my favorite tobaccos, notably those by L.J. Peretti, are missing. Surely there is a way to add new blends but I can't locate it on the site. Smokey

    L.J. Peretti's Park Square VA/Per

    I posted this review on TR.com a few years ago: This blend came highly recommended to me so I purchased four oz. to see if it really matched the reports. I'm happy to say that it does. PS has a nice wine-like scent in the pouch that makes one look forward to smoking it. It lights easily and...

    Pipeworks and Wilke Vermont Maple Cavendish

    It takes a pretty special aromatic to make it into my regular rotation and VMC is such a blend. The pouch note of this is a very full maple smell, and the appearance is appealing with light and dark brown flecks mixed in with the black cavendish tobaccos. Firing up a bowl, you first notice how...

    Have any favorite "mistake" blends?

    When I say "mistake" blends I mean blends that were a result of either a mistake with the base tobaccos or a mistake in mixing a blend. I have two. The first is #416 Plantation Evening from C&D that Craig Tarler has said was the result of a blending mistake. It is a terrific medium English that...

    Peretti's D-7485

    The following review comes from TR.com on my current favorite tobacco, Peretti's D-7485. Peretti's description of D-7485 on their website does not include a list of ingredients, but judging by the appearance and smoking qualities I would say it has bright and dark VAs, burley, and latakia. It's...

    C&D Purple Cow

    I posted the following review on TR.com. I really got a kick out of the tin art on this one and even bought a t-shirt with the design. The C&D catalog describes Purple Cow as "A classic blend from Bob Runowski. Bright VA ribbon is added to a Burley base, then complemented by a dash of Latakia...

    Scotty's Butternut Burley

    The following is a review I posted of Butternut Burley on TR.com. several years ago. As some readers will note, I used a different point system, only allowing a maximum of 10 points for flavor. After I reviewed blends for a while I decided that flavor was the most important quality of any...

    H&H Ten to Midnight

    Another review from TR.com on an outstanding Russ Ouellette blend: The other reviewers have done a good job of describing the different flavors in this blend. The way all the tobaccos work together to produce a mild, yet very flavorful smoke make this blend outstanding. I particularly like the...

    Boswell's No Bite Delite

    Here is a review of one of my favorite aromatics from TR.com: No Bite Delite is another in a long line of successful aromatics from Boswell's Pipes and Tobaccos. I believe this one was blended by J.M.'s son Dan. In the pouch or jar it has a mottled appearance, with brown ribbons mixed with black...
