    Orlik - Golden Sliced

    I'm 99% sure there's no top flavor on OGS. It certainly has casing. For what it's worth (and there are exceptions/variations)... I think of casing as a process to condition and hydrate tobacco. There is typically some sort of sugar involved, and/or liqurice, cocoa, etc. These would not...

    Quality Of Dagner Pipes

    I heard they smoke great with Captain Black. (pardon, inside joke if you've seen some of their videos).

    Edgeworth Ready Rubbed:

    As Russ indicated, the wait will shortly be over. Original forumula produced on the same (somewhat ancient) machines

    What types of leaf used in cigars and cigarettes

    I'm sure Russ will chime in at some point to correct whatever I get wrong, but... Many of the same leaf types are used in both pipe and cigarette tobacco. Most cigarettes are primarily Virginia, Burely and Oriental, just as in pipe tobacco. As far as the quality, there are certainly a multitude...

    Lane 125th Anniversary - Blend Recommendations?

    Hunter: I was being (somewhat) tongue-in-cheek. 'Something really, really similar to ERR' will be a seperate, but no less worthwhile, project.

    Lane 125th Anniversary - Blend Recommendations?

    We are planning on creating a new blend for Lane's 125th Anniversary. Before we started playing around here at the factory, I thought I'd reach out to pipesmagazine.com members and get your opinions. What style of blend would you like to see added to the Lane portfolio? (Note to the 34 people...

    If You Would Like to See the Return of Edgeworth...

    Ah, the great Edgeworth email campaign of 2014. I figured there was some sort of conspiracy afoot as my phone kept pinging. Message received gentlemen. Message received.

    Can't Find any Five Brothers

    Yes, we've been out of stock. It did actually arrive last week, but got hung up in customs,as can happen from time to time. I would expect to start shipping this week.

    C&D - Time For Some Focus?

    For the record, I rarely sit.

    Help with Non aromatic that doesnt suck

    Shameless self-promotion alert... For an aromatic/latakia hybrid, try HGL. Might have a bit much vanilla for you, but it's what I typically recommend when folks are looking to make a transition. A lot of folks have a love/hate relationship with Erinmore flake, but it's a mellow Virginia flake...

    Red Sky

    Regarding the web site, we are in the process of changing providers, so it may be down for a couple of days. Regarding the business reply cards, these are sent to some folks who process the data for us.

    Bluegrass / New-Grass

    Pick a bit of banjo myself with a local bluegrass band. +1 on Infamous Stringdusters & Larry Keel. The stuff Keller Williams is doing with the Traveling McCoury's is fantasic. Just saw the Punch Brothers - mind blowing (Chris Thile's father is actually pipe maker Scott Thile). For jam-grass...

    Pipe tobacco in the Mayan Riviera Mexico

    There are several tobacco shops in Playa del Carmen that have pipe tobacco by the pouch. Can't remember the brands... Didn't see any bulk.

    Lane BS-005 Returns

    I poked my head back in the factory to check on a project and discovered a nice IPSD surprise - several hundred freshly minted lbs of Lane BS-005, ready for bulk bagging. This marks Lane's return to the world of non-aromatic bulk pipe tobacco. This one was clearly designed for Latakia lovers...

    Enjoy International Pipe Smoking Day!

    Smoking from a freshly popped tin of 1999 Escudo. A gift from Carl Staudenmyer from the K.C. pipe club.

    Atlanta Area Pipe Clubs

    Please note that the venue for the Atlanta club is 18+ since smoking is allowed.

    Lane Limited Tobacco Names

    A lot of the names are the initials of the person who created the blend (i.e. HGL - Herman G. Lane), and the number might have been the attempt.

    Lane Tinned Tobacco Returns: Starting with Crown Achievement

    Jah: The description on tobacco reviews is correct, if incomplete. The presence of perique/black cav was not something that was previously publicized about the blend.
