My Latest Estate Stanwell 51
Really nice Stanwell. I've picked up a few Stanwells over the years. They're a great value & good smokers. When did the manufacturing switch from Denmark to Italy? -
Something As Elementary As Pipe Cleaners
How many bundles of pipe cleaners come in a box like that? I'm a big believer in running a pipe cleaner or two down my pipe as I smoke a bowlful so buying a box might be more cost effective...- drrock

Holiday Blends 2020
I love Christmas tobaccos & every year pick up a few to savor. This year it's Peretti Yuletide, Straus Tobacco Wenceslas, plus Cordial Friends & Figgy Pudding from The Country Squire. They're all terrific, but special mention goes to the Country Squire blends. They're both really flavorful yet...- drrock

What's the Goopiest Aromatic You've Ever Tried?
While Molto Dolce, the Rice Krispies snap-crackle-and-pop of pipe tobaccos, is high on the list for blends I've tried, the wettest goopiest blend I've ever smoke was Milan Tobacconist Poochie's Blend. Many of the Milan Tobacconist offerings are among my personal favorites, but Poochie's Blend...- drrock

Another Christmas Blend Aromatic Bender
EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) A couple years ago around the holidays I went on a sort of pipe tobacco "bender", smoking only aromatic blends for a couple months. While I enjoy a variety of all types of blends (although for me Latakia is best appreciated as a condiment), I...- drrock

How Much Air Space When Jarring Bulk?
I use 1/2 pint Mason/Kerr wide mouth jars for canning bulk tobaccos. I weigh out the bulk prior to jarring. I cram 4 oz. of most flakes into a jar & leave a small amount of air at the top. For other tobacco cuts the 1/2 pint jars hold 2 oz. perfectly. If necessary I'll use a canning...- drrock

Mixing Store Bought Blends
I do this all the time. One of my personal favorite things to do is add a small amount of a very sweet aromatic blend to a straight burley or Virginia blend that seems a bit blah.- drrock
