    Mac Baren HH Rustica Review

    I had to mix my tin of Bold Kentucky with FVF so I don't think this would have been a tobacco for me.

    Savinelli 140th Anniversary vs Sansepolcro

    140 is a tobacco that I think I like more than I do. I reach for it every now and then and then about 1/2 through the bowl realize it is not as good as I thought it was. It is weird how this has happened more than once.

    Stem Material

    Askwith uses a polyester stem material that I like almost as much as vulcanite.

    Preferred Pipes And Methods For Flakes

    It always depended on the flake for me as to fold and stuff or rub out.

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    2 tins of Davidoff Flake Medallions, 2 tins of H&H Fleet Commander and one tin of Bengal Slices White. Popped the Bengal and I don't get it as it is so light in taste other than a wee bit of latakia.

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    After reading through this thread I know that some time I need to purchase a big enough order to make shipping worth it from Esterval's if only to try HU Director's Cut.

    Ashton Artisan's Blend.

    If I had any left I would still smoke them too. With that said Ashton Artisan was not one I will stock up on anyway as my English tastes are different than it.

    Your Hidden Gem Tobaccos! Time to Share ‘Em.

    First I am at the same time sorry to hear about your condition and yet happy for your 20 years of still living and I am praying for another 20 more! Next, I agree totally with your theory about stocking a healthy cellar while we can. Makes me sick when I think of $100 AUD per tin. It also...

    Chatham Manor Now Produced By Sutliff??

    Not a big codger blend fan but I find Chatham Manor to be a great smoke (especially so considering the price).

    Ashton Artisan's Blend.

    I know this is weird, but in a blind side by side taste test of 3 pipe bowls each I realized I actually prefer the Cyprian version. Blasphemy I know, guess I am a heretic.

    Has Anyone Had Any Experience With the EBay Seller 'deadmanspipes'?

    He outbid me on one that was under the radar (saw it on his list for sale shortly after, correctly named and twice the price but still fair for what it was).
