    Chemical Tongue Bite?

    Yea my initial pipe journey had me going after all those yummy flavors only to find out it is not for me but others. I have yet to try any flavored or topped aromatic that tastes good…. a swisher sweet cigar beats them all. of course YMMV and TEHO, etc.. I finally figured out its the...

    What Are Your Top Five Pipe Accessories?

    For me its the opposite. I find the coffee makes my pipe taste good. Kinda like a coffee and dessert or PB&J, or milk and cookie. I put cream and honey in my coffee although on occasion I drink it black. I always smoke in morning so coffee is a standard. Noting that I dont usually smoke VA...

    Corn Cob Pipes Maintenance?

    The key is swap. I cleaned a MM once with a salt and vodka pack overnight and the cob swelled and cracked. I probably put too much vodka or let it sit too long but now I only swab. I am just nervous to soak anymore. Noting I am very inexperienced with deep cleaning pipes.

    Chemical Tongue Bite?

    That tobacco appears to be aromatic and could be majority virginia. Both can bite. I too started with aromatics which was a mistake. They are harder to smoke and can bite you due to toppings and moisture which basically turns into hot steam. I suggest trying a simple codger blend like...

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    I want Dock Worker and Nashville. I have to ask…. will the US product be the exact same as Europe? or are they sourcing the US supply from different tobacco sources?

    War Horse Dilemma

    After more research I think I was given War Horse Bar (Red). It was a piece of crumble cake so I know it was not rub. It had also dried out a bit and that might have reduced the topping flavor as I do not recall a floral presence. Thus I will buy Red Bar first because I have learned the Green...

    War Horse Dilemma

    Thanks. I am going to try green first. I think I have the green.

    War Horse Dilemma

    Yea they both appear the same blend with green having a little more anise / tonquin per website. It could be either one so I guess next time I get to buy tobacco I will get both.

    War Horse Dilemma

    I received a gift sample of War Horse about 2 years ago in a baggie and I may have tried it but forgot and it has sat in my cellar box. I just pulled it out and wow it was delicious, but I now do not know if it was Red or Green? I guess I will need to buy both. That said my pallet tends to...

    Trying Out an English Blend.

    If you have been smoking aromatics and want to transition to a lower latakia English this blend may be good choice because they added In some aromatic. Its also bulk so you can buy 1oz. Kramer's: Blend for Cary Grant Pipe Tobacco

    Trying Out an English Blend.

    My favorite changes depending on my palate, what i eat or drink, and weather. But my favorites are Maltese Falcon and EMP for non perique blends, and Nightcap and Artisan Blend for blends with perique.

    Don't Overlook Drying Time

    Duly noted. Makes sense. Do you feel it’s more Virginia related or did i just hit a blend that was a little moist in the tin? Either way folks play around with drying time because I just discover the Virginia I am smoking got better with some drying.
