    Stokkabye English Luxury

    I buy samples from the nearest B&M so I can smoke in the lounge with the cigar smokers. I'm limited in my selection as they have to carry what sells best and the cigars I once enjoyed take my head off these days. I think I just don't like this blend. I'm just surprised that I don't.

    What's your 2025 Lazarus blend?

    Having lost so many blends in 2025 to the corporate chopping block I became curious. If you could bring back one blend that we lost in 2025 what would it be? You can name one tin, one bulk and one boutique blend if you desire. Blends that are still with us in name only are fair game as well...

    What Were Your Go-To Tobacco’s in 2025?

    Sutliff Sweet Virginia and Newminster 400 as well as Sutliff heavy english blend. The heavy english is not a favorite but something I wanted to try due to discontinuation.

    Tobacco Company Giveaways...

    Actually, P&C sent me a free hat with my pipe cleaners but I whined that I did not receive any of the tobacco I ordered.

    Daughters & Ryan blends in 2026

    Well I'm I'm a little sad I missed out on the Mark Ryan Era but I do have some Sutliff Pipe Force to try. I do look forward to trying what we still have on the market.

    Daughters & Ryan blends in 2026

    Hello all, I wanted to start this thread to get advice and reccomendations on current Daughter's and Ryan blends in production. I'm picking up some Three Sails and Windsail soon and I'm curious how long you all like to age them and if you rehydrate the D&R blends prior to aging. I'm a piper...

    Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people

    Law in Alabama can be compared to the Soviet Union before it's collapse. We have so many unenforced laws that we would all be incarcerated if they were enforced. Smoking is banned in most places but pipes and cigars are never considered as those are hobbys of the cultured individual.

    Feed my PAD please

    Ropp is a good one. Can't speak for the other brands though.

    Briarbroom is back!

    It's that time of year that our lovely Briarbroom is back. Check out her reviews on YT under the name "Briarbroom" if you haven't yet. She's only here for a short time and then gone again until next year so enjoy!

    What is going on with Vincent Manil?

    Maybe he is on one of those French lunch breaks that seem to last forever.

    Stokkabye English Luxury

    Just trying an ounce of this for the first time. This is new 2025 production and I must say the flavor is rather bland. It this another victim of the STG Re-blending process? I prefer Balkan Supreme, Balkan Saseni and even John Bull pouches to this product. I like most English I try. This is...

    Esoterica on Smoking Pipes?

    My B&M gets them every so often. They are like the "Opus X" or "Opus One" of pipe tobacco. They sit until specific buyers come and snag them.
