    MacBaren HH Vintage Syrian

    You know buying a tin of HH Vintage Syrian has gotten me on a Syrian binge! I have ordered 8 other blends that contain Syrian. Currently enjoying a bowl of McClelland Wilderness. Too bad G.L Pease does not have access to Syrian Latakia. They would be able to make great blends with it. Syrian...

    Charing Cross

    Interesting, so fresh Charing Cross is similar to aged Balken Sobranie. I think I read somewhere that Meridian was similar also.

    Quiet Nights

    I agree, I have not encountered a lat blend from C&D, McClelland and Pease that is not great. While some will be prefered due to personal preference none are bad. I also just bought some HH Vintage Syrian and McClelland Wilderness and I really like both flavor wise. My only complaint would they...

    What's Your Favourite Cherry Blend

    GH Top Black Cherry is the finest I have smoked. It also has a nice level of nicotine.

    Quiet Nights

    While I like Quiet Nights nothing tastes like fresh Penzance. Quiet Nights is a great blend in it's own right though. G.L Pease has a spectacular range of English and Balkan blends. Odyssey is spectacular and my new favorite.

    Charing Cross

    I just ordered a tin of this. I also have notice that tins taste different when first opened and they change after several days of being opened.

    Pleasant Surprises, or: Your New Favorite Recent Tobacco Acquisitions

    G.L Pease Odyssey and SG Squadren leader. Squadren Leader suprised me since I didn't think I would like such a mild blend. I don't really know why I like it but every time I smoke it I have a semi zen experience. Wonderful.

    Dr. Oz to Governors: Penalize Smokers

    Dr Oz is a fruit loop!. The problem with this country is the the typical American male has been feminized. 50 years ago someone would have punched Oz in the face and told him to watch his mouth when he talks about others. Now every opinion is respected and that is a big problem because not every...

    MacBaren HH Vintage Syrian

    Has anyone compared the tin version to the bulk? I recently bought a tin and it is great; almost sticky and burns perfect. I was thinking of buying an 8oz bag.

    Wanted to Like Smoking the Pipe But ....

    By the way every cavandish aromatic I smoked was overly moist and needed a ton of relights. I even had to buy a desktop lamp to dry my tobacco it was so moist. That went away when I started smoking non aromatic blends. Your problem is your choice of tobacco in my opinion. Good luck.

    Wanted to Like Smoking the Pipe But ....

    The same thing happened to me when I first started smoking pipes. Everybody says to start with aromatics so that is what I did. When I first smoked a cavandish aromatic I was like WTF? Why would anybody smoke this? I was revolted, disappointed and nearly gave up. Then I read a post on how...

    Lakeland Confirmation Here

    There is no accounting for tastes! I bought a tin of FD flake and have smoked a couple of bowls and find it pleasant although aros are my least favorite type of tobacco. Smells and tastes like blackberry and rum to me. Like Jamaican black rum cake. LOL it is funny that it tastes like puke to...

    Let's Have Some Fun! Tobaccos You HATE!

    I can't believe no one posted SG Grousemoor. I smoked it yesterday in a new cob and could not finish the bowl. Revolting. Maybe it was the new cob.
