    June Pax Tobacco Crawl with New Head Blender for C&D - Jeremy Reeves

    I have been wanting to try the Maple aromatics for a while, so Autumn Evening is a good start. I'm making my way back through last months crawl again. If this is more of the same you wont find a blend you hate. You'll just have blends you like more than others.

    Prince Albert vs Carter Hall

    I have been going through a couple oz of Prince Andrew over the last couple weeks. It's worth a try. I haven't actually had prince Albert to compare it to, but it is a good burley blend.

    Congrats, and well deserved. I only encounter Brian through the podcast, but his info has made a huge difference in my pipe smoking approach, and enjoyment.

    PAX Tobacco Crawl With Russ Ouellette

    It's hard to add anymore to what's already been said. Fire storm is definitely my kind of vaper. I still think I like anniversary kake more. My big surprise is still el nino. It's going to be hard putting these in an order. I have also been pondering something. Russ, have you ever thought about...

    Stanwell Brushed Black Budget Pipe Now Offered in Brown Brushed Finish

    I posted this in the pax crawl forum too. I have three of the bb pipes as "work" pipes and they smoke good, and are light.

    PAX Tobacco Crawl With Russ Ouellette

    I get a black licorice flavor that reminds me of other blends with dark Kentucky I have had. So far I am most surprised by this blend. I will be buying more. On the topic of the brushed black pipes. I own three of them. I clench them all the time while doing yard work, they are all light.

    I know how you feel ssjones. I was at game 1. So much for a "different look".

    PAX Tobacco Crawl With Russ Ouellette

    I have tried posting my review twice to just get an error so I'll give my highlights and try again later. Like Magnum Opus it was dry enough for me right out of the tin. I get a nice anise flavor in this, that I only get from tobaccos like PH Dark Strong and Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky.

    PAX Tobacco Crawl With Russ Ouellette

    Mine is bulk, but it has always had a forward cocoa smell. I only get the nuttiness when smoking. I do agree it is not exactly the same as the tin note, but it is definitely closer than I'm used to. After experimenting this week, I like it completely rubbed out. I was getting a bit of gurgling...

    PAX Tobacco Crawl With Russ Ouellette

    I get this too, and it smells good enough to eat. The casing on this blend mixed with the nuttiness reminds me of those sugar roasted nuts you find at fairs and renfests.

    PAX Tobacco Crawl With Russ Ouellette

    It's not on the level that C&D burleys are with N. Burley Kake is my favorite of the flaked/ kake burleys I have tried. I should have smoked Briar Fox before I tried it, because it was a let down in comparison. So now that I have hyped it all up, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

    PAX Tobacco Crawl With Russ Ouellette

    Update: MO is growing on me. I have started to pack it looser and smoke it slower and it tastes great. The Virginia's come through better and it smokes a bit sweeter.

    PAX Tobacco Crawl With Russ Ouellette

    Magnum Opus Notes: Tin Note: Yep, it's a English/Balkan, it probably shows how simple my palate is but, ounce latakia is involved all tin notes are the same to me. Tin moisture: This was a fresh tin from the mail and it was perfect. No drying required. Packing: I'm going with the three step...
