    Krumble Kakes

    The Atlanta Pipe Club held a Craig Tarler appreciation meeting a couple of weeks ago, where only CD and GL Pease was smoked. I had some Black Frigate, which was a fantastic, exceptionally cool-burning smoke, but, as the package says, not for the faint of heart. Highly recommended, and I'm kind...

    New Smoker's Pride Package

    Pictures of the old and new bags below. arealgijoe, not much to say other than sorry you don't like the new bags, and you can go ahead and blame me. Having said there's not much else to say, I'll go and say this: The new bags have far better barrier properties, which will keep the tobacco...

    Anyone Like Captain Black

    There is a bit of Burley in there, but it's mostly Virginia-based Cavendish.

    Captain Black Mild

    Slight edit in my last post. should read: 'CB Round Taste will have a bit more of a vanilla...'

    Captain Black Mild

    Probably, but it is completely subjective, of course. CB White has a deeper flavor that leans towards a hint of chocolate and is a bit more robust, which I prefer. CB white will have a bit more of a vanilla flavor and will be lighter on the pallet. If you are enjoying the black cavendish blend...

    Captain Black Mild

    Your are likely referring to Captain Black 'Light' now renamed Captain Black 'Round Taste' due to the outlawing of the word 'Light.' I'll let others speak to quality, as I am of course biased. The tobacco itself is mostly a golden cavendish, with a just a hint of burley and oriental. It will...

    Orlik Golden Sliced?

    Orlik is still being imported to the U.S. In fact, new shipment should be hitting the U.S. port today. We'll be shipping to wholesalers/online retailers by the end of this week. So folks should be back in stock by the week of 9/24. Demand has been higher than expected for this one. We've also...

    Tobacco to be Banned?

    A lot of this has been covered in some of Kevin's prior articles, but is worth repeating... Keep in mind that, broadly speaking, the TTB regulates the taxes on tobacco, while the FDA regulates what sorts of products can legally be sold. FDA also determines the definitions for cigar, pipe and...

    Captain Black pipes...?

    Frank Blues (current brand manager for Mac Baren's, but a former 25-year Lane Limited employee), passed two Captain Black pipes along to me at the Chicago Pipe Show. One of them is a 'Schooner' from the 'Fleet' Series. Made in England. Info book has a copyright date of 1986. Another is a...

    new Stokkebeye generation 4

    Agree with Roth that the article tells you pretty much all you need to know. Erik may reside in NC, but he is actually from... you guessed it, Denmark. For the record, I was born in California, live in Georgia, and I have some of my tobaccos made in Denmark too!

    COLTS (part two / the gold pouch 50g)

    Colts has never been sold here in the U.S. No plans at this time.

    COLTS american mixture 50g aromatic

    Not available in the U.S., unfortunately, although very popular in Canada and Europe (it's made by our parent company, Scandinavian Tobacco Group). On a recent visit I tried the Cardamom version. A little strange at first, but it grew on me.

    Peter Stokkebye Bulk Luxury Bullseye Flake

    Blame me for any out-of-stock issues. (Well, me, and the hoarders - not that I'm complaining. Buy! Buy! Buy!). I thought I brought in enough of this tasty goodness to keep everyone in stock, but apparently I was wrong. Should be back in within a few weeks. Personally I've been more in the mood...

    Is Pipe Smoking Growing?

    Lazydog: Europe looks about the same as the U.S. as far as volume sales are concerned, with a 4-6% decline each year. The U.S. is the biggest pipe tobacco market in the world, with Germany a distant second. After that: France, UK, Denmark, Switzerland, Italy, Spain (Euromonitor 2011 rankings)...

    Some bitching about recent visit to a Chinese Pipe Forum.....

    Kenny: Can you post a link to the Chinese forum? Also, what pipe tobacco brands are popular in Hong Kong and mainland China? I've heard W.O. Larson does well there, as does Captain Black.

    Is Pipe Smoking Growing?

    A survery sample of 55,000 respondants across the U.S. If you really want to dig in, link to the survey here. For actual volumes, you can look here BUT, the numbers for pipe tobacco include 'dual use' pipe tobacco, which makes up probably 80% of the volume.

    Is Pipe Smoking Growing?

    There has been a substantial increase in pipe tobacco consumption in China and other parts of S.E Asia over the past few years. In the U.S, the total volume of pipe tobacco is probably declining about 4-6% per year, a trend that has been in place for about a decade. The number of pipe smokers...
