    Peretti component tobaccos?

    I have to agree with Greeneyes. It is sad when a cheap pouch blend has more depth and flavor (to me) than the #1 selling aromatic for a company. I have gone through over 10 tins of tobacco from C&D and muscled my way through countless bowls trying to find the good in their product. I found that...

    Frog Morton Opera

    I was hopeful that this would be a nice match or a bucket of good tobacco. However, I too did some research and outside of this post I have not seen, heard, or read about anything like this coming out. I just wanted to throw this out there in case anyone here had heard something about this.

    Frog Morton Opera

    I received this mysterious and enthralling picture and description about Frog Morton Opera. Does anyone have any idea what this is all about? Could this be the start of someone out in the universe re-creating McClelland blends? Have our prayers to the tobacco Gods been answered? Or is it just...

    Hunter Blend

    I don't even know where carter hall is in the store!!! I have focused more on the English blends. However, I will throw a few bucks at a little box of sweet tobacco since so many have recommended it!

    I should add that I am very lucky that the local shop charges $14 for a tin in store which you can get online for $10 but it is in stock and in my hands instantly.

    Good point... I have been running the risk of burning alive in my car this whole time...

    Hunter Blend

    That is so true! I am thinking of getting a license to hunt in Kansas just because the public lands in Colorado are going away little by little. I have gone Elk hunting a few times and the last time my friend got one and it was a large amount of work to field dress, quarter and pack that thing...

    Hunter Blend

    I have missed the last few Pheasant Seasons in Colorado. However, this year I am ready and excited to get up before the sun, drive a few hours to a piece of land that is no longer available to the public, then scratch my head and look at the map and find another piece of land that is available...

    Pipe Lighting

    I can't argue with nostalgia. I have searched all over the place for matches that were shaped like small stakes or triangular. The wider end had the head and provided a wider flame. My grandpa used them almost exclusively and would like both his pipes and his cigars with them. I would love to...

    Pipe Lighting

    I have a variety of lighting tools. My favorite is my Xikar pipeline (Old boy copy). If I am driving and have one hand I use my Zippo with a pipe insert. If I am sitting on the deck and have my stinky smoking coat I reach in the pocket for a bic lighter or a box of matches. They all seem to work...

    J.R.R. Tolkien I am not that smart, I have seen it before and have seen him cited as the author.

    Well, I Took It Up The Rear Today..

    I guess drinking slime and then getting a GoPro in the butt isn't so bad if it can save your life! I have a few years before I go in for mine but I agree with you as far as going in early! (pun intended) Glad to hear you are doing well on that end (pun not intended).

    Sherlock Blend For New Sherlock Series Pipe?

    I am always impressed by the quality of the inexpensive John Bull Royal English Blend! If you are looking for a good english (not a bad one or a great one) this one is the blend for your pipe. I can see Holmes walking into "Bucking em" palace to meet with someone about a new case and he...

    Your Friendly Local Tobacconist

    Just yesterday, we had our first snow of the year in Denver and smoking on the deck did not look appetizing. I threw my coat on and loaded my pockets with tobacco gear an went to the shop for a few hours. Definitely worth it!

    Your Friendly Local Tobacconist

    I usually buy all my tins and bulk tobacco from my local shop when it is in stock. However, if I am looking for something that I know they won't carry or ever order, then I jump online and buy it. The last time I was in I asked if they would be able to order a specific blend and found that they...

    Why Does a Pipe Smoke Hot?

    When in doubt, build some cake!
