    Balkan Blue

    When I started smoking a pipe, a fellow pipe smoker that rode the morning commuter train with me, suggested Balkan Blue. I finally was able to find a tin and I absolutely loved it. I jarred about half the tin, and was content for a time smoking mostly the Frog Morton Cellar tins and Old Dog...

    Pirate Kake

    I have not smoked Pirate Kake, but I have smoked and really enjoyed the Capt Earle Nightwatch. How different is Pirate's Kake from that?

    Pirate Kake

    What are some of the main differences or characteristics between Pirate Kake and Capt. Earle's Nightwatch? I have two tins of Nightwatch, but have not tried Pirate Kake yet!

    Ye Olde Signe

    I just received a tin of "Ye Olde Signe" today. I smoked a bowl in my Baraccini pipe. I am not that impressed. It does have a hint of citrus, but mostly tastes like dried grass - very smokey taste. It is not as sweet as other Virginia tobacco blends that I have tasted. It is smokeable (if...

    Identifying Bulk Tobaccos at B&M

    Just really backing up what others have already written, but I also have a local B&M store by my house that does the same thing - renamed the blends in large jars behind the counter, however, when I first walked in as a new pipe novice, the clerk walked me through all the jars explaining to me...

    Pipe?

    I have been smoking a pipe for almost 2 years now, so perhaps still kind of a rookie, however, I have managed to purchase 6 pipes. I have a Baraccini, Stanwell, Luca Vanetti, and a Peterson. They have all been extremely great smoking pipes for me. When I started out, I purchased a $25...

    Tried Lane 1Q Again After 1 Year

    When I bought my first pipe a little over a year ago (perhaps close to 2 yrs), I headed over to the local tobacco shop near my house and showed them my new pipe and asked for help! The clerk recommended and sold me 1 ounce of Lane 1Q. I smoked it and was not too sure about how I liked it. I...

    Dunhill Tobacco USA?

    Let me start out by pointing out again that I am a fairly new pipe smoker, so if this question has already been discussed and explained, please excuse me for asking again. I have just recently seen discussion (YouTube) about Dunhill pipe tobacco being pulled from the USA market in 2018. Is this...

    Frog Morton's Cellar Tobacco Review

    I am fairly new to the pipe experience, but in the last several months, I have been trying a number of tobaccos and figuring out what I like and dislike. This one, Frog Morton Cellar was recommended to me by a fellow pipe smoker with much more experience. I immediately enjoyed it. Maybe this...

    Tabacco Recommendations

    OK, so I have picked up the pipe for less than 6 months now, but I have been aggressively trying different mixtures of tobacco, and I have come to enjoy some and dislike others. I am still researching and studying the different types of tobacco and trying to figure out which mixes possess the...

    Rose Wood

    I have one of the Corleone Rosewood pipes, $20 Online, and after over 1 month it smokes very good. I also did some research about the Poison issue and discovered that some Rosewood has toxins and others do not. I assume that after several years of selling Rosewood Toxic pipes, someone would...
