Oakenshield
That sounds really good. Where do you get the cherry and vanilla flavorings? I'm thinking that I might try something like this with Drambuie or Chambord.- dcmacbean

Your favorite vanilla tobacco?
Captain Black Copper. Vanilla and something fruity (almost like apricots), and nutty too.- dcmacbean

Your favorite chocolate tobacco?
I just got some Amphora Original because it was supposed to have a chocolate note. I don't know if I could taste the chocolate, though. It's good... Just not sure about the chocolate. I agree with Mothernature's assessment of Carter Hall; I mix it with Lane's BCA or CB Dark.- dcmacbean

Your favorite cherry tobacco?
I like Cherry Captain Black. My grandfather smoked it as did the fathers and grandfathers of just about everyone I knew. The smell of Cherry Captain Black reminds me of "home." It does not smoke hot if you take your time with it. I've reached a point in life where I don't hurry for anybody so...- dcmacbean

Anyone Have A Favourite Home Made Mix/Blend?
I'm a Black Cavendish lover, and I'm pretty much convinced that just about any tobacco can be improved with the addition of Lane's BCA or Captain Black's Dark (the exception to that rule might be Wessex Original). I am pretty sure that Lane BCA and Captain Black Dark are the same. I'm sure that...- dcmacbean

Have I been unfair to aros?
There's nothing wrong with not liking something that others like. It's all about personal taste. I have not found an English blend that I like but my experience in that regard is limited. I'm sure that I'll find some that I like eventually. I tend to like aromatics especially if they are heavy...- dcmacbean

Tobaccos I'd Rather Not Live Without
My grandfather alternately smoked Captain Black and Cherry Captain Black in Medicos and Dr. Grabows. I like those because they remind me of him although out of the two, my preference is Cherry Captain Black. My favorite Captain Black is the Copper Pouch. I really like Lane's Dark Red on its own...- dcmacbean

P&C 2017 Discount Calendar
I will be all about September, October, and December if I ever get the pipe that got left out of the most recent shipment that I received, and if I ever get the small order that I placed at the beginning of this month for which I have a confirmation number but still no order number on the...- dcmacbean

Scary News From Australia: Where Next?
The brave new world doesn't care about our health or our childrens health. It's about the money. I would agree that money is certainly a factor but I would add that it is more about control. Control over the lives of people is at the root of the European Union, and the globalist movement in...- dcmacbean

Trouble With P&C Site (02/18/2017)
On March 2nd I got one of the two items that I ordered on February 23; a single pouch of Captain Black. The pipe that I ordered was missing although the packing slip claimed that it was included. I spent my lunch hour on hold trying to talk to someone with no luck so I sent an email just to...- dcmacbean
