    A Tasty New Blend

    MINT CHOCOLATE COOKIE PIPE TOBACCO RECIPE I felt like experimenting with my own mint chocolate tobacco recipe. I have a very broad taste for tobacco. I like complex Virginias, Burley blends, VA-PERS, VA-BURS, English and Balkan blends. I also, now and then like a full aromatic. Frosty Mint pipe...

    Blending with Cigar Leaf

    Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I like cigar leaf and english blends. Many moons ago, i cut a small disk off a cigar, broke it up and added it to an oz. of McClellands 5110. The blend was overwhelmed by the cigar leaf. Last night i blended-up 1 oz. of 5110 with 1/8 oz. of C&D's...

    three star blue

    Gentelemen: I appreciate all of your input, and I look forward to JimInks' review. I've read many and consider him very objective about his reviews. I wonder if any of the other three star blends will be distributed by others. Thanks again for all of your input...joe

    Three Star Blue

    tbradsim1 (the old cajun) suggests a 60/40 mix of Carter Hall to 3SB (and maybe even a pinch of Nightcap). Interesting. I will try it and report back. Thanks again for all input here - Joe G.

    Three Star Blue

    I appreciate the feedback. Interesting thing. The pipe I smoked it in was a small, vintage kaywoodie with a stinger. I'm finding now that when smoked in any other pipe, it bites and gets bitter, despite slow puffing. I have to believe the stinger/condenser helps somewhat. I'm concluding...

    Three Star Blue

    Good afternoon. Anyone else out there a fan? I'd cast it aside some years back as pedestrian, only to find now that it's one of my favorites. Some say the original had perique and latakia (even deertongue); I'm fairly certain that it doesn't have any of them any longer. The pouch note is...
