    You are Guaranteed to get One Hard-to-get Blend. Which One would You Choose?

    No need to presume anything, look at Tobacco Reviews. They also have sold a Readt Rubbed version, which I would also buy. Now, if they just had an IV version, I would be prepared for all eventualities

    You are in Charge of White Spot Pipes: Would You do Anything Differently?

    The White Spot division of Dunhill seems to be doing rather well, particularly in the Asian market. For those of you who have grandchildren of elementary school age, consider investing in Mandarin Chinese courses for them.

    Would McClelland Sell Their Recipes and Methods?

    Mary was the widow of Carl Ehwa, who with another Kansas City individual was the founder of McC. Mary did a lot of the archival research, and dug up most, if not all, of the photography for The Book of Pipes and Tobacco by Carl Ehwa, a glorious work available from out of print book dealers for...

    Alas! I Can't Find Any Gawith Hoggarth's Twist Tobacco Anywhere

    Ropes are labor intensive to make, and at least at one point during the most recent Covid lockdowns, Gawith was working with half production staff. There are only a few people trained to make ropes anyway.

    Alas! I Can't Find Any Gawith Hoggarth's Twist Tobacco Anywhere

    I haven’t checked and have no need to, but a shipment should have left the UK in April. How much, if any, ropes would be in it is unknown to me. Not every shipment includes them. When a shipment arrives, actual distribution to the trade is controlled by the importer, Laudisi Distribution Group...

    Esoterica Drop at SP....But Site is Down

    First time I can recall SP having a total outage during an Eso drop. I doubt Cohibajoes tip led to the outage.

    Esoterica Drop at SP....But Site is Down

    I got a bag of Peacehaven, checked out, heard the notification for the confirm hit my email just as I was trying to get back on and pick up a few other things. With the big box sellers in particular, I get the one thing I want mist and get the heck checked out. I was expecting them to drop...

    Too Many Blends, But Too Few Producers?

    True, but... For at least one account, Sutliff does make the product from end to end. But the account was previously using Sutliff tobacco recased and/or topped with the shops own sauce recipes in the shop. It was simpler and less expensive to disclose the recipes to Sutliff subject to them...

    Only about 8 of the GH line are available in the US market in tins.

    Want to Try Lakeland.

    Actually there is a fair amount of Gawith Hoggarth in stock. Watch City, and Boswell are two that many here know, Payless Cigars and Pipes, which is the internet operation of a company that is the distributor to a chain of 800 or so “Smoker Friendly” stores across the country, had a bunch and...

    Samuel Gawith Next Drop

    Truth. They might not be in a very receptive mind tomorrow with all the Esoterica calls they have had?, but otherwise, also truth

    Samuel Gawith Next Drop

    Samuel Gawith Next Drop

    Laudisi is NOT the importer of Samuel Gawith. Please don’t argue that point. If you don’t believe me, call them during business hours, ( 843) 491 4150. My understanding is that the Gawith factory in the U.K. is, or will shortly start, working to fill an order for the US importer. When and...

    Do You Buy New Dunhills?

    Sigh. The dots involve two totally separate corporate conglomerates. The timing wasn’t even close to identical. I guess it is easier to connect dots and post them than to find easily verifiable facts.

    Do You Buy New Dunhills?

    There are still U.K. shops that will send Dunhills internationallY, though James Barber won’t because they apparently lost their liability coverage for shipments of pipes to the US. They had the largest selection. Al Pascia has a great selection, but the prices aren’t as good as in the U.K...

    Do You Buy New Dunhills?

    “They“ does not include Dunhill Tobacco. The Tobacco rights were spun out many years ago. The name change for the tobacco lines was a totally different and independent decision made by a completely separate conglomerate at a different time. To this very day, the “fashion line” parent owns...

    Do You Buy New Dunhills?

    If you bought it from an authorized dealer anywhere in the world, the White Spot 2 year guarantee is worded so that any other dealer would replace the pipe. If you are happy with store credit, great. Smoking Pipes has replaced a friend of mine’s Dunhill that was purchased from Al Pascia because...

    Do You Buy New Dunhills?

    That is totally false. At this very moment and for several years now, “White Spot” has been a division of Alfred Dunhill. And yes, I have bought a new Dunhill. The nomenclature reads “ Alfred Dunhills’ White Spot.”
