    Oldest tobacconist in Ma.

    Yeah, I have 2 of their pipes and they are first rate. I bought 2 of their mixtures. Ebony and mix 439 which I don't see on their list anymore. I'm an aromatics kinda guy. They smelt amazing but were real light on flavor. Kind of a let down. Fast forward about 4-5 years later after I let them...

    Help and suggestions

    Yes I agree, captain black white pouch is amazing smelling. I have smoked lane 1q and it is much better that the ole captain. And yes, I know smell does not translate to taste.

    Tried Petersons conisuers choice, some custom blends from tobacco shops, esquado, navy rolls, on and on it could go. I am asking for people that have an experience with a tobacco they think is it.

    Help and suggestions

    Tobacco suggestions

    Hey all. It's been quite some time since I have posted. I now live in The great state of Texas! So here's the issue I am having. I am in a tobacco funk.

    Dunhill navy rolls

    Ok, i haven't posted in a bit which tends to be my nature, but is it me or does this blend seem uneventful? I've tried it in a few pipes, also aged it. It just seems bland. Anyone?

    VaPer Recommendations

    Ok guys, I haven't been around in quite some time but I'm back and have to ask. I love Escudo. I have been told it is a VaPer. I really liked it a lot. So with that said, what else would be a good choice? I have been told solani 633 and h&h anniversary. Any others?

    Bowl Size and Composition ?

    Ok. so here's my question. What is actually considered a larger bowl, and also what about these pipes I see that are brylon and stuff? I am finding that I want more tobacco at one time and feel that maybe it's time to graduate to larger pipes. Thanks guys.
