    Sourcing Question

    Moved to Discussion. Good evening everyone- have a question about sourcing older metal tubs of SWR/SWRA. Other than tinbids (there’s none on there) where can I locate some of these tubs?

    Update on the STG Closure Of Sutliff and Mac Baren

    I respect your opinion, but is the death of pipe tobacco that nigh?

    Thoughts On STG

    Well said. STG has ruined SWR (how hard is it to just keep doing the same thing that’s worked for 90+ years) so my hopes are not high. The bean counters are in charge, not the consumer, nor aficionados that know what the people want working within the organization most likely.

    Sutliff Dark Chocolate

    Who knew? Great pouch smell and a burley forward mixture with a subtle chocolate topping. Pretty good and wife likes it too!

    Troubleshooting Bob’s Chocolate Flake

    Entropy is the natural state of the universe. BCF is unfortunately decomposed from the classic original.

    Troubleshooting Bob’s Chocolate Flake

    Haven’t experienced that with BCF. I wish it was more stronger scented with the cocoa like it was until GH changed it up.

    SWR over time

    Paging Dr. @JimInks , who if I recall noted in a review that the taste of SWR is essentially unchanged with the exception of some of the 1940s production. I have read 2024 SWR has a stronger vinegar note than in years past. Is anyone else experiencing that? The 7oz can I recently opened was...

    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    Signs of the Tobacalypse

    After the hurricane clobbered the mountains of NC and TN, I noticed one interesting fact at Ingles where pipe tobacco was sold. All tubs of SWR/SWRA were sold OUT and everything else was left.

    Filter or no filter?

    Welcome! You need to try it all, and then try it all again in 6mos once you get your technique down. I liked the Grabow paper filters and now use 9mm charcoal exclusively. For ME (i make no other claims for individuals) I still get taste, without the tar or moisture. YMMV, good luck.

    Show Us Your Most Prized Pipe!

    I never saw a pipe my entire time in the army of almost a decade. If I could go back, I’d have one with me.
