    Charing Cross

    I just smoked a bowl of this and I am struggling to like it. I love other Pease blends like Odyssey and Quiet Nights but this is really different. It is acrid, earthy, peppery and metallic almost but it also astringent and the astringency is odd for me. Mine came very dry, I am debating whether...

    Penzance in Stock

    Bob, as a matter of fact yes, your post is what I was referencing. I like Penzance fresh but have never tried it aged. I have bought several pounds in the last two months due to the current political climate and the fact I have no B&Ms by me. I have to order online and if that is banned I am...

    Smoker's Haven Exotique Mixture is in Stock

    What is worse I came across someone who has a nice quantity of McClelland EnglishBalkan tins from the mid 90s and he wants just a buck or two over current MSRP. I can't resist and am buying them all. I lead a tobacco double life when it comes to buying. I have TAD big time.

    Penzance in Stock

    I have not found anything that I like better than Penzance. I have other blends that I like just as much, like Squadron Leader but nothing tastes like Penzance. But I know how it goes, I scored a bag of Stonehaven and I am not sure I like it. Cellering it for a while and trying to find a pipe it...

    Smoker's Haven Exotique Mixture is in Stock

    But still no Krumble Kake and Our Best Blend. They come in so infrequently you have to buy several pounds if you want to always have some around. With the current political climate I really stocked up on EM. If the wife only knew she would kill me!

    Penzance in Stock

    I never catch it at P&C. It is difficult because they don't have an in stock email system like smoking pipes. They really need to overhaul their website to match what services their competitors are offering.

    Penzance in Stock

    How much Penzance do you guys keep in the cellar? I ask because I prefer to stock up because i really like it but I have heard it does not ag?e well? Do you cellar multiple pounds?

    Penzance in Stock

    I wonder why the 8 oz bag is pretty available but never tins? Also Margate lately is never around.

    What Tin to Open Next , You Guys Pick.

    I would go with Legends followed by 3 Oaks Syrian. Legends is awesome. I opened a tin from 2011 and it is amazing.

    Hearth & Home Royal Blunder Kake...

    I almost ordered 4 oz of this to try out but decided against it at the last moment. Glad to see you liked it. Next order I will get some.

    The More I Smoke Nightcap...

    Mike, the flavor is not exactly the same, I find it a little sweeter but the strength is about the same. It fills a similar role for me, it is a after dinner smoke that is rich, bold and smoky. It is heavy like Nightcap and I find it very satisfying. My palate is not refined enough to directly...

    Size of Rotation

    I do the same and just jar it immediately, give it a week to rest, then I smoke it to give it a try. I do find that if I smoke the same blend day after day I taste nuances that I do not normally. It's like my palate gets trained to the flavors and I can identify them easier. But I just like...

    Size of Rotation

    So do you guys just not open new tins you have not ried before until you finished an open tin?

    The More I Smoke Nightcap...

    Nightcap is wonderful. Too bad they only sell it in tins. My bulk Blend that fills the same role Nightcap does is Engine # 99

    Size of Rotation

    It is difficult for me not to open a new tin I have never tried it before when I get it. I must have over forty tins opened and jarred. Plus I have a lot of bulk tobaccos. The thing is there are so many quality blends out there it is difficult for me to cut down on the rotation. I like them all...
