    Union Square, Newminster Superior Navy Flake, and St. Bruno

    Ah St. Bruno. I love the topping and dark-fired combination. One of my favorites

    Dang! I Missed Pipestud’s Grand Re-opening!

    There was lots of good stuff. The one and only tin I really wanted got snatched up as I was in the process of paying for it. Suddenly it was no longer in my cart:(

    Orlik Golden Sliced vs. Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia

    I second Hoosier's comment about the OGS. Fresh it is only so-so to my tastes, but the 6 year old batch I had was noticeably sweeter and had what I thought was a minor tang of perique that I did not notice when it was fresh

    Favorite Tobacco?

    Wilke #111 is an oriental blend with some burley. This is a well balanced blend that for me is my favorite everyday-all day smoke, if I had to choose just one. The latakia in it is only condimental so you hardly notice it and the burley adds an element of sweetness to it that for me is just...

    Life Affirming Pipe Experience And Is Mixture 79 So Bad?

    It's really not that bad. In fact, I found it fairly tasty. Don't know about the old production but I would imagine if the old timers from back then were around now and giving TR reviews this blend would have a higher rating than it does

    GH's Dark Plug/Flake vs. Revor Plug

    I just smoked a bowl of Revor Plug yesterday and it was full and satisfying, very good. It reminded me very much of Dark Flake from GH. It's been a while since I had DF, so in my mind I'm thinking they taste very similar. For those of you that have had both, what do you say? I'm curious to see...

    Orlik Golden Sliced (Newbie Review)

    Interesting what Hoosier said. A couple of weeks ago I finished up a leftover jar of OGS that had been put up back in mid-2013. Back when it was young I didn't find anything remarkable about it. I certainly didn't notice any perique. However, after 6 1/2 years it was noticeably sweeter and the...

    An Interesting Read

    Love to see family businesses, especially pipe makers, continue to grow and flourish. What a great story. Thank you

    Quick Question About SG Hansom Flake

    I had one tin in the box that had the top off. Thankfully the cardboard insert was secure. It had the glue spots on it but wasn't enough to hold the top on with P&C's packaging techniques, which consist of merely laying the bubble wrap on top of the tins, Which didn't prevent the tins from...

    Currently Smoking My First Lakeland

    You'll like all those. I can't decide if I like Bosun better or Conniston better. Whichever one I am smoking at the time I like better, as far as I can tell. The Dark Flake or plug you'll need to make sure you've had your cherrios first, unless you're already acclimated to strong smokes. Those...

    Samuel Gawith - Hansom Flake

    Wrong quote. I meant to put: I'd go for that

    Samuel Gawith - Hansom Flake

    Simon, wouldn't it be great if by some ironic twist it turned out tasting like Condor, but will a little perique added

    Gawith Hoggarth and Co. Twists

    Mars Cigars has some Whiskey Twist Unsliced available. But that would appear to be the only one. It's pretty good

    Amphora Red

    I may be incorrect but by Amphora Red would that be the same as Amphora Full Aroma that comes in a red package? If so you can get through either Pipes and Cigars or Smoking Pipes online for $7.40
