    Who is DK on Tobaccoreviews.com Because He is a Genius.

    For more than a year, I've found that the one reviewer who really just nails it over and over again is DK on tobaccoreviews.com. HIs reviews are straightforward, thoughtful, articulate, and thorough, in short, a pleasure to read. I've taken his recommendations on tobaccos I wouldn't have tried...

    Jackknife Ready Rubbed

    Just posted at tobaccoreviews.com. Short version: gracious, this is manly. I light up a bowl of JKRR, and I think, all of us on this forum, whether old or young, black or white, male or female, we're all men here, and this tobacco is an incitement to extreme manliness. Suddenly all I want to do...

    Who makes this Rattray's pipe?

    So I was in London this summer and made a most worshipful pilgrimage to James Fox tobacconist, where I spent more money than I ought to have on a new Rattray's pipe and some Squadron Leader. I have to say I've been amazed by this pipe. (And the SL is superb too.) At the moment, it's hands...

There's mention of some other forum that Manil has an American distributor, but I haven't found any indication of that. Also curious to know if anyone has tried his "La...

    Reference, Baseline, or Benchmark Tobacco?

    Greetings. I'm wondering if you all have what you might call a Reference Tobacco in your rotation, something that you turn to between explorations, something to reset your palate, something you use as a kind of baseline against which other tobaccos are measured. I don't mean some sort of Gold...

    Virginia with training wheels?

    Greetings everyone, from the Noobiest Noobie in Nooville. Short version: what are good tobaccos for getting to know Viriginias? Longer version: I've been smoking a pipe for a little while now, long enough at least, it seems, to avoid tongue bite most of the time, to finish a bowl without...
