    JimInks, I've Gotta Ask.

    Granted, I don't take his reviews as absolute gospel (he gave Mountain Camp 2 stars for Christ sake!) but I do appreciate his breadth of palate and does give an accurate assessment of the wealth of blends that come out. Appreciated! #adjectives

    I love Toscano cheroots, these are eagerly anticipated. #adjectives

    C&D Mold!

    I've bought countless tins and pounds of C&D over the past 25ish years. I've never once experienced mold in any of it. Then again I keep my tinned blends in their tins as God intended and store my bulk in thoroughly cleaned jars. Its a wild world out there, micro organisms abound...

    Best Blend of 2023: An Elimination Game

    From Beyond +2

    Which GL Pease Should I Buy?

    I’d suggest you try Bijou. It’s very similar to Sun Bear and available year round.

    Jim's Seattle Pipe Club Christmas Spirit 2023 Review.

    Apple brandy and a crumble cake format, I said the hell with it and got a tin.

    Tell me about Drucquer&Sons

    Trafalgar is a very nuanced Turkish forward medium English. It comes off as a pleasantly complex blend, especially if you enjoy savory orientals. Casbah is a very Latakia forward blend, but each of its components gets its chance to shine as you burn through a bowl. I love it.

    Core Four

    Right now I'd say: Mountain Camp Casbah Northwest Trek Figgy Pudding *list is eternally subject to change

    Drucquer & Sons recomendations

    Casbah is a favorite of mine, just polished off my second tin this year. Loch Ness is also very good, it’s very similar to Blairgowrie but has a nice depth to it.

    Thoughts on Ravenwood?

    Nepenthe is absolutely incredible, I highly recommend it. I tried his Frog Morton's Chalet and it didn't do much for me, it was a fairly pedestrian aromatic English.

    Kajun Kake - C&D Classic

    Back when Va/Pers were my thing Kajun Kake ranked very highly in my collection. Sweet, spicy, the cakes smell like chocolate milk to me. I absolutely adored it.

    C&D's From Beyond Returns

    I am so excited! I thoroughly enjoyed the initial run, I only hope the second run lives up to my memories.

    Favorite Oriental Blends?

    I was afraid you'd say that 😄
