    New Offering from Amphora manufacturers

    Yes the warning label is written in Italian and remind us that the smoke kills… well it's less ridicolous than when it says to me that the smoke could harm the baby in my womb... :-)

    New Offering from Amphora manufacturers

    I live in Milan and I haven't seen yet the Clan Raw, not even in the best tobacconists of the city. I've tried instead the Clan "three years limited edition", which nobody seems to know of: it's a good tobacco-forward aromatic, sold in tin at the expensive price of 16 euros for 40 g...

    Drying Flakes and Coins

    With well behaved flakes, like Mac Baren flakes and Capstan, I simply rub out, but with Samuel Gawith's and McClelland's I put the flakes in the grinder and go until I get very little chunks, then I gravity feed so that, even being a very slow puffer, I can smoke without drying (which bores me)...

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (July 2018)

    Bad weather is coming here in Milano, but luckily I can smoke indoor, so I'm enjoying a bowl of McClelland Wilderness, in a year 2011 limited edition Peterson

    Do We Really Have it Better?

    I live near Milano and, in the old days, I saw in the Savinelli shop in the center of the city the sign "Si prega di fumare", i.e. "Please smoke", instead of "No smoking", obviously the sign has been removed years ago... The tobacco shop "Hobby Fumo", near to the Savinelli shop, haven't any...

    End Of The Day

    At the end of the day I smoke the same tobacco I've smoked in the afternoon, so tipically a VaPer, VaBur or VaOr (after dinner I enjoy latakia…). In the last few days I'm smoking MB Navy Flake, a favorite of mine, earlier it was SG Sam's Flake, also in my favorites, and my drink is a shot of...

    Calling All Lurkers: Speak Right Up

    Calling All Lurkers: Speak Right Up

    For me the problem is that English is not my native Language (I'm Italian…), so I understand most of the forum posts, but some posters use sometimes slang expressions that I don't understand. Therefore I hesitate to post comments, because it could be that I can't understand the replies...

    $40 Rossi

    Some months ago I've bought three Rossi pipes at 40 euros each, and I've used them always with English / Balkan blends (maybe because of their black colour ...) with full satisfaction; I don't find great difference in smoke taste when I use more expensive pipes...

    Wellauer Syrian Latakia

    Yes I bought one 100 g tin in Switzerland and used it to mix with SG Skiff Mixture. It seems to me of very good quality, though I couldn't say if is really all syrian...

    Mac Baren Mixture - Scottish Blend

    I too like very much Golden Extra (in Europe Golden Blend)...

    Mac Baren Mixture - Scottish Blend

    I smoke regurarly Original Choice in the morning and I like it because of its fruity taste (but it tastes of tobacco too) and its mildness, well suited to me for a morning smoke. Having tried Scottish Blend about two years ago, this left me disappointed: I smoked an entire pouch of it, but I...

    Observation About Reviews, In General...

    I've read daily the new reviews from Tobacco Reviews web site for a long time: the infos about the tobaccos in the blend, the cut and the toppings are clearly mentioned in the general description of the blend at the top of the page, so there's no need to read the reviews to know it; I expect...

    Observation About Reviews, In General...

    I really prefer a review, maybe less objective, but that tells me about the overall taste of the tobacco, rather than a list of the characteristics of the single ingredients and I think also that reviewing after having several bowls of a blend is much better...
