G.L. Pease Samarra Review 2011 Vintage

There are few things nicer than experiencing the satisfactory hiss of a tin of pipe tobacco that’s been waiting for you to pop it open for a decade. The smell that comes off the tobacco the second normal atmosphere hits it is as good as opening an oven door to a loaf of freshly baked …

G.L. Pease Windjammer Tobacco Review

The year is nearly half over, and what a year it’s been so far. There’s lots of talk of life “getting back to normal,” yet even with the mechanics of things daily happening more regularly and predictably, “normal” is hardly a word I’d use, personally. What most people were hoping for over the last year …

Plum Pudding Special Reserve Flake Review

There’s a strange phenomenon happening around the world: people are starting to come out of their post-pandemic stupors and panics and…gathering again. This might serve as a cause for celebrations, but for those of us slightly less inclined to be social, the palpable excitement can be a little overwhelming. What is rather nice to see …

C&D Oak Alley Tobacco Review

One quarter of the year 2021 is gone already. It’s as if each upcoming moment turns to the one before it and says, “Hey dude, hold my beer.” For example, this review nearly didn’t make it—I had a catastrophic hard drive failure. Of course I didn’t back up, apparently I’m an idiot who likes living …

C&D Yale Mixture 2010 Tobacco Review

It surprises a few people when they learn I write my reviews in a small, outdoor space barely big enough to fit two folding chairs, attached to an expensive apartment not much bigger. My pipe tobacco “cellar” is a well-protected, medium-sized chicken yakitori box from my sous days. Maybe some believe a “pipe guy” is …

Hearth and Home “Bright Night” Tobacco Review

Not too long ago, Brian Levine and I chatted on his radio show about brick-and-mortar tobacco stores, tobacconists and how special (and arguably essential) they are. As is known, I worked for a few years behind the counter of a local Tinder Box, which is now closed. There is a silver lining, and that is …

Peterson Elizabethan Mixture Tobacco Review

If current events have shown anything about humanity, it’s about our attitude. Sometimes it’s admirable and resilient other times it’s cringey and embarrassing. My attitude has struggled through simple activities like mustering the motivation to take out the trash, and so choosing a tobacco that I’ve had problems within the past would either prove a …

Sutliff Cringle Flake 2020 Tobacco Review

I feel like a cliché and cartoonish version of Paul Revere going into the end part of this year, “The Holidays are coming! The Holidays are coming!” as if there is some impending doom about to arrive. This is normal for me: I’m not a “holidays” guy. I never have been and I never will …

GL Pease Spark Plug Review

I probably relate food to tobacco (and vice versa) more than most do. It’s a disconnect for some people, but for me, I’m a hedonist for my own palate. I learned cooking very young as a necessity and flavor has become an obsession ever since. Any time, any income level, or instance can be made better …

Mac Baren Stockton Spun Cut Tobacco Review

Ramen is a bowl of happiness for me, perhaps just as much as a bowl of tobacco. This Japanese comfort soup becomes more and more popular in the United States, but it can be hard to find in remote places like my state of Northern Nevada. We are lucky enough to have one place I …
