    I'd like a good intro in to strong Burley blends. Is Orlik dark strong Kentucky

    I am not familiar with the Orlik blends at all but my tastes are similar to what you are after, although Burley can be subtly sweet. A couple of blends I would send you to are MacBaren Old Dark Fired and GLP Cumberland and GLP Jacknife plug.

    MacBaren, Why Only One Perique blend?

    My apologies, you said casing. I get them confused. Although I gravitate to blends that are "natural" (and perhaps this one isn't 100% so) this one really does it for me. I haven't found anything quite like it. It is my feeling that MacBaren has the knowledge and the reach to execute some other...

    My Apologies, Marlin Flake

    Buddy, I'm with you. I have a tin from 2005 that I don't know when I'll open. Have you ever had it with a decent amount of age on it? I could eat it.

    MacBaren, Why Only One Perique blend?

    The Briary has aged tins??!! I gotta check that out. By the way sir, all in good fun. Your opinion is respected....except as it pertains to HH Acadian Perique! :mrgreen:

    MacBaren, Why Only One Perique blend?

    Hey Cosmic, why don't you tell us how you really feel? 8O While they do have many aromatic blends that I generally steer clear of; if I were going to smoke an aromatic, I'd get it from them. Their blends are readily available at a B&M near me and IMO are well executed. I don't know if I agree...

    MacBaren, Why Only One Perique blend?

    Does anyone ever wonder why MacBaren only has one Perique blend; HH Acadian Perique? It is one of my favorite blends and I think that they could do another blend or two. I understand that they are a producer out of Denmark and that Perique may not be readily available/very expensive but I'm...

    MacBaren Coin Cut Blend with Virginia, Dark Fired and Perique?

    I know of one MacBaren blend with Perique and that is HH Acadian Perique. I can't speak to other blends that they manufacture and give a different name. I've often wondered why they don't do a few more Perique blends. Perhaps its a more difficult leaf for them to get their hands on?

    Am I the Only One Who Does Not Watch Football?

    I have no problem with anyone that does but it's not for me. I don't permit anything to occupy space in my mind or heart if it doesn't pay rent.

    Magic Inch?

    I like mine. It's ugly as sin but smokes wonderfully.

    The Benefits of Slow Smoking

    Seconded. For me, less is more when it comes to pipe smoking. If I'm in a rush or at work, the pipe is a no-go. it is the one time a day that I get to relax and having a pipe while doing just about anything besides reading, listening to music or watching television is out of the question.

    Ohio Renaissance Festival

    Meh....I went a couple of times and it's a bit overpriced if you ask me but to each his own.
