    mikethompson, There are many coffee aromatics. It is the smell of fresh roasted coffee beans that mingle with the tobacco blend to enhance your smoking experience. No added taste to distract from the tobacco blend, just the added good morning smell to help get you started. Have a great day Edwin

    Coffee House Special

    sumusfumus; forgive me, I though you wanted the break down of "Black Gold' blend. I purchase 8oz of Black Gold which I 'top' with about 1ml of 'coffee bean oil' as a spray. lay out-spread out the 8oz of 'Black Gold' then spray the blend with a 'topping' of coffee bean oil (be careful, coffee...

    Taking Care of Your Pipe

    I have a 'razor sharp' blade and rub it gently over the Tenon. I get only a light powder, just enough to loosen the stem so that i can remove it easier. My hands are crippled now (as of 3 years ago) so it is harder for me to do things than it was years ago. I never had this problem in the 70's...

    Taking Care of Your Pipe

    comicfolklore, Thank you for your input on the Graphite. When i shave the tenon, believe me, it is only a hair. The tenon is never lose or sloppy, just easier to insert and remove. with a new pipe the stem is usually easy, but over the years it seem to get harder. i busted a 'Lorenzo' pipe...

    Coffee House Special

    sumusfumus, I purchase the "Black Gold" blend from Milan Tobacconist in Virginia. Their description of the blend is; a rich, smooth smoking marriage of Black and Aged Maduro Cavendish mixed with a light vanilla casing, mahogany colored Burley, and just the right touch of Virginia Flake for...

    Coffee House Special

    captainsousie, it is palatable. The 'coffee bean oil' is only used as a "topping" not to case the tobacco. so the blend does not change, only the smell when you you first light up and for a while when you are smoking. Edwin

    Coffee House Special

    seldom, I have a question for you. when you light the pipe, do you smell the fresh roasted coffee beans, not taste them or coffee, just smell the fresh roasting coffee beans. I have blends that have coffee flavor added to the blend. I have blends that go well with a cup of coffee. However...

    Taking Care of Your Pipe

    Have you ever had the tenon get stuck in the shank of your pipe? In the past, I busted a few stems attempting to twist them out of the shank. Now, I shave the tenon (just a little) so that the stem can be inserted and removed easily. Not too much, you don’t want it to fall out, just enough so...

    Coffee House Special

    captiansousie, Thank you for input. The idea that I am aiming for is to have that 'fresh roasted coffee bean' smell as a room note when I light and smoke the pipe. Thank you Edwin

    chilllucky, Thank you for your reply. There are 'coffee' and 'espresso' tobacco blends, but none have that added "coffee bean" aroma to the room note. So it does not match my memories. However, the blend I have special made for me does match the memories. Thanks again for the input. Have a...

    Coffee House Special

    Most of my Tobacco Blend ideas come from my younger days as a young man in the late 60’s. I have not found my “Coffee House Special” in any blend I have sampled so far, so I have had to have tobacconists make it special for me. In the late 60’s coffee houses sprang up every where (especially...

    Old Man With a Pipe

    tobefrank, I love my coffee and drink it from the time I get up until I go to bed, so of course I have a cup of coffee with my pipe. Though I usually do not drink while I am smoking but take breaks to drink my coffee. Edwin

    Old Man With a Pipe

    What you said is true. I love my coffee and I love my pipe. That is why I had them develop this blend for me. You can contact Renee at Milan and they might make the same blend for you. If they ask me about it I will give them my permission to do it. Though I may need to send them more 'coffee...

    Old Man With a Pipe

    Hello supperthyme, I start with their 'black gold' blend then i had them ad a topping of 'coffee bean oil' so that when you light up you can sell not only the blend, but fresh roasted coffee beans also, then i had then add espresso casing for the flavor. This is not in their lists because it is...
