    McConnell's Black Parrot - Not Black, But Can Bite Like A Parrot

    Wasn’t the Ashton version McClelland? Those were good blends. Pebble Cut and there was another one that escapes me.

    I Guess I’m Obsessed With Dunhill Rollagas Lighters Now…

    I’ve only tried it with the pipe nozzle. If you’re handy, I believe there is a kit to service them and for the pipe nozzle.

    LJ Peretti - 5 Burley Blends I Ordered

    Cool selection. I’ve tried Cuban and No Name from your selection. Love them both. Bought 8oz of Cuban on my last order. Haven’t had a bad Peretti blend yet.

    War Horse Bar Alternatives?

    You might try something like GH Anise Twist mixed with Dark Flake Aromatic. It’s hard to get a strong licorice flavor from a blend these days though.

    Recommendations for Peterson Pipe (Larger):

    Pub pipe is great, too.

    I was thinking the same thing.

    I used Steve at NWFJ. A member from another forum recommended him. It was $50 for the overhaul and $20 for the angled nozzle, including shipping. Works great. He is quick and responsive. steve@nwfinejewelers.com

    Fall / Halloween 2025!

    Dark Fired Kentucky is a tobacco type that is used in a lot of blends. It is smoky, full bodied and on the stronger side. HH ODF was a blend that celebrated it.

    But that solid presence is so comforting.

    Yeah. Great lighters. I have one like the gold one that was my father-in-laws. It sat in a box for over 15 years because it was non-functioning. I finally read about getting it overhauled. I think it was like $75 shipped, including a pipe nozzle conversion. Fantastic. My favorite lighter now.

    Irish Flake new pipe smoker

    If you like Irish, the Gawith blends in the dark range are worth a try as well as the ropes and twists. Samuel Gawitj 1792 or Cob plug, Gawith and Hoggath Dark Flake, Dark Flake Aromatic, Dark Plug, any of the brown ropes.
