    Ah just wait until after T-giving holidays when I go to visit C&D's facilities. They are about an hour from my home and I'm going to do a day long blend sampling with them!!!

    I can send small amounts, 100g or less, but doesn't seem to be too cost efficient that way. Not sure what the post cost is between here and there.

    Smoked that Royal 7 Seas blend in my Gouda Clay, probably not the best for it. The clay is great for slurpy aro's but I think these 7 Seas blends are much more suited for Briar. Going to load up my Calabash and give the Gold a try later on tonight. So far I'm loving these blends, and want to...

    Should I tease you further? I happen to be located in a region where lots of tobacco is grown. I get 1 ounce samples, around 28g, for $2.45/ounce. The 50g local tobacco blends run me around $4 USD. I just spent an hour wandering through J&R's, sampling tobacco and getting lots of wonderful...

    Also, for some reason my mouth is calling out for Port Wine after that pipe. Not sure why, but sure seems to me it would go really well with the Royal blend.

    Oh, the Royal is wonderful. More of a tobacco taste than most of the aro's I've tried, but very subtle, no bite at all, really smoky on the tongue, with a really pleasant after taste. Was mildly surprised by how easily it smokes. Also, one light for the full pipe, that was it! Two thumbs up...

    Depends on what you're looking for. You can go to Navy Cut which is an easily lightable and mild blend, up to the Gold and Royal which take on some of the affects of aromatics. The Gold comes out of the tin with a plummy/figggy scent to it with some mild spice in the background. It's a soft...

    Well I received my Royal and Gold 7 Seas blends today. OMG when I opened the tins.... the aroma wafting from them was just gorgeous. I'm still too down in the lungs right now to try it so going to have to wait. I'm drooling though....

    Angler's Dream

    Russ was kind enough to send me multiple samples and boy I was having some fun! Personally I prefer the Trout Stream and found Angler to be a bit harsh, but I think it's a tad green. Letting it settle in a bit, give it a month, then it likely will liven up a bit. Going to try it again in...

    How can you tell what your stem is made of?

    My problem is I have a wide range of pipes, 46 so far, no two alike, some similar but no two the same. I did this to slowly smoke my way through them and find the one's I like the best, so keeping probably 20 or so. Started to keep 12, but bought enough pipe stands and racks for over 20 so...

    Thanks all for the advice. Pipe Novelist, I'm with you, totally broke after my ongoing PAD attack, but I gotta get some while it's so cheap! Off I go, Red an Royal on my list. Has anyone tired the Mac Baren Navy Blend Plum Cake? It sounds wonderful, just wondering if it's as much a mouthful...
