Which Tobaccos Smoke a Magically Long Time?

Gaslight, even packed loosely in a smaller bowl.

Dark star, even when very dry. Like dense pieces of sweet coal.

Good stuff it is.

Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River makes for a good long smoke. I can puff on a bowl of it for a good hour.

Many flakes and plugs, Old Dark Fired for example. You can get a long smoke from a small pipe with flakes and plugs.

There are a few that seem to last way longer than I want to smoke them. Try some GH&co Dark Flake scented, that will be the longest smoke of your life, if you can stand it.

Star of the East seems to smolder for days, but then again, I usually smoke it in a squatty bulldog with a pretty large chamber.
The two Va flakes I smoke the most, OGS and LBF, both burn long for me. Even when rubbed out thoroughly, they give me a lot of mileage. I smoke them in smallish billiards to maintain more of a "normal" smoking duration.

All of the following blends smoke nice and slow for me if you either fold and stuff or cube cut them.

TR means tin ready, smoking with no drying time.

I don't know if it's unusual but I don't know that I've ever had a blend that didn't smoke well. That being said I don't typically smoke aromatic blends, and like a lot of flakes.

The technique presented here would be an extremely long 'n slow smoke;

Although I mostly smoke flakes, which generally have a longer duration, the longest smoke I have experienced was actually a ready rubbed. Gallahers rich dark honeydew, which was an added bonus as its my all time favourite. If you look at the old tins (see MLC's splendid historical account on gallahers) they actually boldly claim/guarantee that it lasts longer than any other available brand! No mean feat when you consider the opposition of the time, plugs twists etc. dark Birdseye & the current (but totally different) honeydew by gawith hoggarth also last an exquisitely long time.
