    P&C Doubles Prices on Esoterica Bags

    Actually it is not simply supply and demand because the wholesale price of Esoterica tobacco has not gone up and no other vendor has taken a similar step. I imagine because doing so would be extremely damaging to a website's reputation. I am a member of several online pipe forums and every...

    P&C Doubles Prices on Esoterica Bags

    Honestly I don't see any reason to continue to buy anything from P&C other than the blends they sell that no one else does like Plum Pudding or Blackhouse. I used to spend $100 religiously there every time I got paid, but I have tapered off and this is the last straw. I'm taking my business...

    GL Pease Gas Light - The Word Is Out

    I hope this is just the beginning and one day a Bengal Slices inspired plug is released. Lagonda plug maybe....

    GL Pease Gas Light - The Word Is Out

    I can't wait for this to be released! The rumor on another forum is this is going to GLP's interpretation of the famed Bengal Slices. I have no idea what the truth is but a latakia plug from GLP is going to rock. My favorite Latakia blends have always been in flake or kake form. My favorites...

    Lets Make a Top 5 (Latika Blend)

    I am really conflicted about this list since I have about 10-12 blends that I like about the same. But if I have to choose five here they are. These are not in any order, I like them all the same. 1. Margate 2. Star of the East Flake 3. Plum Pudding 4. Black House 5. Peretti's Royal Blend

    At least we found out what the mystery blend was in Royal Blunder Kake.

    Royal Blunder Kake Discontinued?

    Their website has improved tremendously, and I have never had an issue before the move. But recently it has become a hassle to track the items they don't ship due to backorder. Specifically because the status is not accurate in order history details. If they can fix that it would be great. I...

    Miami? Anyone Out There?

    I am in Miami. I thought I was the only one. I have never met another pipe smoker and there are no tobacconists in town that sell good quality pipe tobacco. Only cigars and flavored crap for hookahs

    Royal Blunder Kake Discontinued?

    Russ, thanks for responding so quickly. I don't mind it is discontinued, but I never received an update that it was never going to ship, and have not received a refund as of yet. It would be nice if P&C could do a better job of updating the status of orders that partially ship. My order under my...

    Royal Blunder Kake Discontinued?

    Has Royal Blunder Kake been discontinued? I placed an order for some and it was backordered. Now I see it is missing from P&C's website.....

    Germain's Special Latakia Flake

    I guess I have just been unlucky then, because I have had no issues stocking up on Penzance and Stonehaven but I have never been able to even get one tin of Special Latakia Flake. Good to know it comes around when Esoterica brands ship. This is the last of the hard to get blends that I need to...

    TAD - Peretti's Cambridge Flake and Oriental No. 40

    Peretti's Royal Blend, Omega and Tashkant are amazing. Simply among the best blends available. I am surprised more isn't posted about Peretti's excellent blends. One thing I really like is that all their blends are at the perfect humidity to smoke right away. No drying needed.

    Popped: 2010 3 Oaks Syrian

    Wilderness is absolutely delicious and since I guess it does not sell well the tin I got had a couple of years of aging. It was from jan 2011. Spectacular!

    Popped: 2010 3 Oaks Syrian

    I really enjoy 3 oaks, it is very flavorful and enjoyable. I find it a little savory, smoky and tangy. 3 Oaks, Syrian Reserve and Wilderness are new additions to my rotation. I am on a Syrian binge and I like it.

    Pipe Shape?

    I am totally convinced shape does impact flavor. My first couple of pipes were dublins which I used for everything including balkans. Then one day I was on ebay looking for a cheap pipe to give to my brother in law so he could get into pipe smoking too. I found a wally frank pot that was marked...

    Strange How Ones Taste Changes.

    I started with aromatics because everyone suggested I should, but did not enjoy that gooey hell. Once I smoked my first latakia blend I knew I had found what I like. My current standards are Odyssey, Squadron Leader, Blackhouse, Penzance and Engine #99. Recently I am really starting to love...

    What is the Strangest Tobacco You Have Smoked?

    Strangest I have smoke is also Grousemoor and 1792 Flake. I just ordered a tin of Fusiliers ration thought is was a English blend. Not to fond of aromatics does it ghost a pipe bad?

    Dealing With the Naysayers

    You are a grown man and you can do as you please. Never ask for permission for anything, your parents lived their lives now it is your turn. Respect and hear them out but make it clear you have made your decision and expect them to respect it. Respect is a two way street.
