    First Shipment of Tobaccos Have Arrived

    An excellent first online order selection! All of those blends except for 7 Seas Royal are personal favorites of mine and I hope that you enjoy them just as much as I do! 👍 I think you'll find that all of the blends will improve significantly in both aroma and flavor after about 2 weeks in a jar.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

    I'm apparently not done smoking for tonight, though I'm not sure exactly what to call the blend I'm smoking at the moment. It's a 50/50 mix of Cult Blood Red Moon and Gawith Hoggarth Kendal Dark, soooo... Dark Red Moon?

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

    On to what will probably be my last smoke of the night! This time around I'm trying out Cornell & Diehl Kelly's Coin, in a pretty little Rattray's Blower's Daughter. In my first impressions mini reviews of Royal Yacht and Kendal Dark I said that they were pretty strong blends, but weren't...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

    After trying War Horse Bar and Kendal Dark, the next stop on my high Vitamin N pipe tobacco journey is Royal Yacht (in my usual Morgan Bones Milan sampling pipe) and oh boy this is a neat one! The tin note is really wonderful, like a vanilla cupcake with marzipan as well as something sweet...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

    And a nice old garden table you have as well! I know Captain Black is looked down on in some circles on account of it being a drugstore aromatic, but honestly it's probably my favorite vanilla aromatic and I always keep some on hand! The original/white has got a surprisingly good Vitamin N...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

    Why thank you! I'm often hesitant to do a formal review of tobaccos since I feel like you have to smoke a blend at least half a dozen times and in a few different pipes to really know it well enough to do a proper review, and many of the blends I try end up being a one and done affair for me...

    After finishing that bowl of War Horse Bar the only thing I seem to be going to war with is my stomach. 🤣

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

    It took a fair bit of conviction to finish that bowl of War Horse Bar I was smoking earlier, since the chemically mothball taste got pretty overwhelming by the halfway point, but finish it I did and now that I have I don't think I want to smoke War Horse Bar ever again! With that out of the...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

    Clenching the Morgan Bones Milan and smoking some War Horse Bar for the first time while I work on jarring up a bunch of tobacco that arrived in the mail today. First off, flavor wise this is the weirdest dang thing I've ever smoked. My first thought upon tasting it was, "Is this safe for...

    Strong Blends, Gentle on the Throat and Sinuses?

    The order has arrived! I haven't had the chance to smoke any of them yet, but here's some tin note sniff test thoughts as I get them all transferred into 8 oz Ball jars. Kelly's Coin: Oh this one smells like something I'm going to like! The aroma is very much like that of Pegasus, which is a...

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    The only one of that group I've had before is Nightcap, but it's also been the only pipe tobacco I've tried thus far that's scratched the nicotine itch well enough to keep me from reaching for a cigarette for an hour or so. The others are all new to me and will be an adventure!puffy

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    This is my, "I'm going to quit smoking cigarettes or get nicotine sickness trying" pipe tobacco order, and I feel like one of those two outcomes is significantly more likely than the other. 😅

    Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S to acquire Mac Baren Tobacco Company A/S

    Well that's a little sad, but historically from what I recall when STG has acquired other companies they usually just let the company keep doing what they're doing producing the same blends on the same machinery; the only difference being a minor change of text on the label. This does add some...

    I Was Right About Briar Fox!

    Even though the tin description and the information on TobaccoReviews.com for Cornell & Diehl Briar Fox state the tobaccos in it were just Virginia and Burley I always suspected that the little black bits in it were in fact unsweetened Black Cavendish, and as it turns out I was right! From the...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

    On to my second bowl of Briar Fox for the night! I can't tell if this blend has improved dramatically after a year of aging in a Ball jar or if my pipe smoking skills and ability to pull flavors from a blend have just improved dramatically over the past year, but I remember when I first tried it...

    Your Own "Best" Tobacco

    I'm going to take a different approach to this question and choose a blend that isn't my favorite tobacco, in fact it's not even in my Top 10 favorites. If I was going to be stranded on a desert island with just one blend to smoke for a decade I think I'd get sick of anything with added...

    Briar Fox in a Morgan Bones Milan and Mr. Brown iced coffee for me tonight, since sometimes you just want tobacco flavored tobacco and coffee flavored coffee.puffy

    Dear Diary, Today I've again Tasted Manure.

    The strange thing is that Old Joe Krantz tasted just fine to me, just like a good (albeit slightly horse barn'y) dark Burley blend with a hefty helping of Perique, but the smell of the smoke wafting off the bowl genuinely smelled like some kid in a middle school cafeteria just threw up their...

    Dear Diary, Today I've again Tasted Manure.

    I'm strangely reminded of the one and only time I smoked Old Joe Krantz, and thought to myself, "Wow, the room note from this really smells like honest to goodness vomit". 😅

    Heat and Humidity Affecting Outdoor Smoking?

    I can tolerate the heat and humidity while smoking, though it does make it less enjoyable, but the real annoyance of the hot and humid summers here in Minnesota is having to be more picky about what I smoke since drying tobacco is nearly impossible. During the spring, autumn, and winter I can...
