    Cinnamon and Cloves?

    Sutliff Strawberry Delight is pretty good! It can be a little bitey if you don't sip it extra slow, but the strawberry flavor is definitely there. It's a once in a blue moon smoke for me, but it has it's little spot in my cellar.puffy

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

    Alas Perique is the one kind of tobacco I can't, or at the very least shouldn't, smoke. Any time I smoke a blend with even a little Perique in it I get a sore throat for a day or two afterwards, so I tend to just avoid anything with Perique in it. The one exception has been Peterson Nightcap...

    What Defines a Good Smoke?

    For me a good smoke is one with pleasant and strongly evident flavors (I'm not much a fan of subtlety), a nicotine content substantial enough that I don't find myself reaching for a cigarette after the pipe is done, and a smooth retrohale that doesn't sting my sinuses or make my throat feel...

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

    Trying out Peter Stokkebye PS24 Nougat for the second time tonight, in my trusty Morgan Bones Milan. I usually enjoy aromatics and Peter Stokkebye is a good blender, but for some reason I just don't get much flavor from this one. Even when kept burning slow and cool with just a tiny ember...

    Noob Results - what they liked, and didn't

    For me it took about 80 blends to really pin down what I like best, but that's just part of the fun of the hobby. The more blends you try the more experience you get and the more your palate develops, and you get a lot of good smokes and relaxation along the way. It never really ends though...

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

    Friend: "What did you do this afternoon?" Me: "Well, I rubbed out three nuns." Friend: "Umm...Are you working for the mob now?" Jokes aside, tonight I'm smoking the current Mac Baren produced Bell's Three Nuns in a Missouri Meerschaum County Gentleman and gosh is this a great blend! I know...

    C&D Autumn Evening

    Huh, I've never got any cigarette taste from Autumn Evening! My best suggestion would be to keep it burning slow and cool, just a smouldering ember, and sip the pipe gently with the breath method. A lot of aromatics can turn ashy and unpleasant tasting if they get burning too hot, but if you...

    Smoking Flake tobacco tips

    Samuel Gawith flakes tend to be wet with a capital "W" so it's pretty normal for them to require very frequent relights! Normally when I smoke flakes I like to rub them out between my fingers to about ribbon cut consistency, maybe a little finer, then let the tobacco sit out until it's quite dry...

    Gawith Hoggarth Kendal Black Cherry in a Dr. Grabow Royalton for my next smoke tonight! I've always liked the floral cherry blossom flavor of this one, and the little bit of chocolate in the background. It's kind of like a Gawithy take on Cult Blood Red Moon!

    More Gawith Hoggarth Jamaican Flake tonight, in the Morgan Bones Milan. This blend is really growing on me!puffy

    Lack of Respect for Sutliff?

    I'm a bit late to the party, but I am guessing that the original poster is right about Sutliff often being given a hard time on account of many of their products being wet and goopy aromatics. But you know what? Some of those goopers can be darn tasty and enjoyable if you know how to slow down...

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

    I haven't posted much the past couple weeks, but I've still been enjoying my pipes and have been smoking a lot of Old Dark Fired lately. The smokey barbecue pit flavor is nice and I appreciate the substantial Vitamin N content, though tonight I'm mixing things up a little and having some Gawith...

    I Finally Get Burleys!

    Pegasus is one of my absolute favorites too! When I keep it burning slow and cool I get walnuts, black coffee, cocoa, and a really mild molasses sweetness. A lot of burleys can be a little acrid to my tastebuds, but all of Cornell & Diehl's burley blends have a similar and (to me at least)...

    Strong Blends, Gentle on the Throat and Sinuses?

    I'm returning to this thread after a couple month's absence since, like any good pipe smoker, I take my darn sweet time getting to all things pipe related; and also because 1792 Flake is finally back in stock! After smoking just about nothing other than Old Dark Fired and Nightcap for the past...

    Starting my day with some Sutliff 507C Virginia Slices, in a Morgan Bones Milan.puffy

    Full Virginia Flake

    Agreed! HH Pure Virginia is my favorite dark Virginia flake (Sutliff 507C Virginia Slices is my favorite bright Virginia) since I really enjoy that naturally sweet breadiness, and it's very non-fussy to smoke. Most of the time I don't even need to give HH Pure Virginia any dry time, I just rub...

    New Favorites for 2024?

    Great pick with Pegasus! That's easily my favorite Burley blend, by a country mile. As far as my favorite new tobacco discovery this year goes, I gotta go with Sutliff 507C Virginia Slices. I had put off trying them for quite some time, since they're a bulk blend and incredibly inexpensive so I...

    Full Virginia Flake

    I think you'll enjoy it a lot! Full Virginia Flake is a lovely tobacco, and very similar to Mac Baren's HH Pure Virginia if you've had that before. The big difference is that (to me at least) the primary flavor note of Full Virginia Flake is a tea sort of flavor, a little green and a little...

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

    Having a lazy morning around the house, enjoying some Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia in a Savinelli 401 churchwarden. Ignore the Kendal Black Cherry, I just didn't feel like setting up the lighting and getting out my good camera to take a fresh pipe picture. 😅

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

    Back at it again with the same pipe for my afternoon smoke, this time loaded up with Haunted Bookshop. It's a nice smoke and was a favorite blend of mine for a good year or so, but these days I think I actually prefer Pegasus. They're really similar blends, but swapping out the Perique in...
