Hey I was just wondering if anyone has tried the middle earth pipeweed series by just for him? http://justforhim.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2_298_62&zenid=cedba6943647f8f1578d6d5be0223030

Middle Earth Pipeweed by Just for Him

I really enjoy Shortcut To Mushrooms and Ruins of Isengard... those are the only two that Ive tried.
I mainly only smoke English blends, and these (to me) are like a crossover to Aro's.

Ah right, see the one that is looking best to me at the moment is Old Toby or Longbottom Leaf but I dunno yet...

Well thos two, I believe, are mainly Aro's (which is why I havent given them a try... yet)they both have casing/flavoring added to them
where as the two that I have smoked, to me are more of a crossover... they both have Latakia in them which I LOVE
What type of blends do you mainly smoke?
Posted 5 months ago # -
I liked all of them. I prefer the Ruins of Isengard. The wife likes Old Toby. When I run out, I will restock all the varieties. Just more of the Ruins and Old Toby.

Haha well to be truly honest I have just made, well nearly finished my firts churchwarden (check my profile for the pics) and I am just buying my first pipe tobacco when it is, and seen as though it was Middle Earth books and films that inspired me to make and smoke pipes I found it fitting to buy the same tobacco

Shortcut to Mushrooms would be a good choice for a first tobacco. Lots of flavor, unlike many aromatics that smell good but actually lack in flavor.

Ditto on Shortcut to Mushrooms and Ruins of Isengard. I prefer STM over ROI, even though I cannot detect the "mushrooms" many say that they can taste. I recommend ROI for the aromatic smoker's first try at an English tobacco.

Hahah yeah sounds good, I think what I'll do is just buy an ounce of each and then see which I prefer. Y'know what I'd love to do is grab a pipe or 2 a few ounces of tobacco a few pots and pans ect and just go for a walk and just keep on going until I can't be arsed to carry on. Hey have any of you ever blended your own mixes and how easy/hard is it and is it worth buying the blending tobaccos?

I've really enjoyed my Shortcut to Mushrooms so far. I will be purchasing more when the 4oz I got goes up in smoke.

There is also Halfling's Leaf from our very own Pipeinhand. I can recommend that one. I have just shy of 8 oz jarred right now. And 4 oz. of some of his other blends.
You can email info@jackleeblend.com to get prices and order. I need some of his Honey Malt. It is the only one I am missing.

Because my idea was to get all of the Pipeweed series and then try and blend my own pipeweed using my favorite elements of each one. Sound like a good idea?

Awesome so the stem is going on my churchwarden today

Of course I promptly ordered a sampler pack after reading Lawrence's reviews... TAD needs very little encouragement. I am looking forward to trying these blends. Does 'Just for Him' have a positive reputation in regards to their other custom tobacco blends? Before stumbling across this thread, I had never heard of the company.

Well....I thank you guys for kickin in my TAD again.

From what I can gather yeah Just for Him has quite a high reputation for everything

I have just about stopped smoking all aromatics. To me, Ruins and Shortcut (the only two I have tried and enjoyed) are English/Aro hybrids (like many have already noted).
I really enjoy the English and Balkans, now. So, ROI and STM are like "desert tobaccos" anymore.

Shortcut to Mushrooms is a very good English blend. Treebeard is an alright aromatic, but not my first choice.

Went a walk up the woods today and got wood to make more pipes!!!
So on the whole Old Toby isn't looking like the best? or should I just grab a sampler pack?Posted 5 months ago # -
Haha oh my gosh my new pipe is amazing! It's put together and now that chamber just needs to be a little wider. Even when it's lit up the air through it tastes ever so sweet

I have tried the shortcut to mushrooms and i really enjoyed it. I also have ruins of isengard and treebeard but i havent tried those two yet. My advice is don't buy the sample back but by and ounce of 2 or 3 of them that sound good to you. That way you can get a few more bowl fulls of each and really enjoy it. Plus you get a lot more for your money.

Yeah sounds like a plan
cheers

I also started smoking because of Tolkein's books. I loved Shortcut and Isengard; Shortcut did taste like mushrooms to me, one of my all-time favorites smokes.
The sampler pack always gets bad reviews because the samples are so tiny; I would recommend buying a few ounces of your choice instead. Old Toby and Longbottom Leaf have the best names, being actual baccys from Middle Earth, but I haven't tried them. Lawrence's reviews are excellent.
@Lawrence: You say old Toby is great with a neat whiskey. Shoot, what isn't great with a neat whiskey?

I'm tempted to try some of this, just because of the name

+1 to shortcut to mushrooms. Probably my favorite alltime tobacco.
Posted 4 months ago # -
I couldn't help myself. I just had to order the Middle Earth Sampler.
Posted 4 months ago # -
Still can't decide weather I should just order a sampler or an ounce of each because apparently the sample sizes are TINY and only just enough to decide if you like it or not...

Of course I promptly ordered a sampler pack after reading Lawrence's reviews.
me too! However, I wish their sampler was a bit more tobacco, even if they charged a little more. 1/4 oz seems a bit thin to me. BTW, they are VERY nice people. I ordered a nice Savi pipe that turns out, isnt in stock. They were very sorry for this and tried to be flexible in my wishes. Really great people.Posted 3 months ago # -
STM is good stuff. That's the only one I have tried. A couple of folks I know found it "too sweet" but I didn't.
Posted 3 months ago # -
They sell a sampler that gets you 1 ounce of each kind I think I ordered it but just haven't got around to trying them.They are stashed in my growing cellar of tobacco.
Posted 3 months ago # -
I just finished quite a nice middle-earth style pipe and it is really making me consider buying some now...but still can't decide which one to buy! I want to buy 2ounces of 1 I think
Posted 2 months ago # -
They offer a sampler, its about two bowls worth of each for @$10-15.

For me, the original Longbottom Leaf is the Balkan Sobranie 759! trying to find comparable one these days.

Sam- How did you like those Middle Earth smokes? I am a huge ME, D&D geek and would love to try some of them. Are their any you recommend over the other?
If you have any, could you bring a bit next week?

I just ordered Ruins of Isengard and Longbottom Leaf a few days ago. Should be here soon.
