    P&C FM Sampler 5 tins for under 40 $

    Why would they not include the original Froggy? I won't be buying this as two of the blends contain perique.

    Smyrna

    Roth, thanks for the link. After some looking around I found that they have samplers, $7.99 for a 1/4 lb on what looks like all their products. I noticed that they have cigar wrapper leaves. I think it would be cool to roll some pipe tobacco into cigars. Anyone have experience doing this?

    Smyrna

    Does anyone know where I can get some Xanthi? I'm really liking the orientals I've been trying. :puffy:

    New Peterson Blend

    I was excited until I saw "Perique". I just don't care for it.

    Balkan Sasieni - Pipe Tobacco Reviews

    After all this talk about it I had to got out and have a bowl. It was better than the last time I had it (this was only my third bowl). Probably just me (only been smoking a pipe for 8 months) but it tasted sweeter and I could taste the orientals more. Tomorrow I'll have to smoke some PSBS and...

    Balkan Sasieni - Pipe Tobacco Reviews

    Yeah, I know that was two years ago and I had no ill intentions towards Uncle Arther, I was just showing that if anyone wanted to try it, it's priced about the same as PSBS. Here in town (central Texas) I purchased a tin a few months back for around $16-$17.

    Smyrna

    Roth, not that I noticed but it could be (I've only smoked one bowl of each). I also think the Smyrna was a tad sweeter, not by much but just a hint.

    Smyrna

    I just finished a bowl of Izmir. I found it to taste similar to the Smyrna except where the Smyrna has a musty note the Izmir has a grassy flavor to it. I still tasted the sweet mintiness. Neil was right, the Izmir was more of a broken flake and the Smyrna was a ribbon cut.

    Smyrna

    Roth, sorry, I didn't catch that in your second post. I think you should smoke some Smyrna straight, it tasted great. The Izmir and Smyrna I got were from P&C. Maybe Russ can chime in and give us the "skinny" on these two tobaccos.

    Smyrna

    Roth, I too have some of the PS Turkish. Although it isn't 100% Turkish it's pretty good. I thought the PS had Samsun and not Smyrna. Cortez, I have 4 ozs of each Smyrna and Izmir in front of me right now and they don't look or smell the same. I haven't smoked the Izmir yet so I can't compare...

    Smyrna

    Yep, I got it from Russ. I got it to bump up the oriental component in my english blends but I will keep a good amount set aside for smoking straight. Tonight I'll try the Izmir and report back. Russ, how do you think this will age?

    Smyrna

    Just finished smoking a bowl of straight smyrna. Man, it is some tasty stuff.While I don't have a sensitive palate to pick up on all the flavors present, I found it to be sweet, musty and minty. I think a lot of you VA guys will like this. It seemed to mirror the flavors of my beverage (Green...

    Newminster vs Stokkebye

    It's funny you should mention that because the other night I had a bowl of Dunhill MM965 and I swear I tasted a light berry note in the first 1/4 of the bowl. It was mild but definitely there.

    Newminster vs Stokkebye

    I'm looking forward to trying the Newminster English Oriental. I really like PSEOS and if the NEO is as good or better I will be happy.

    Newminster vs Stokkebye

    I recently did a comparison tasting with PS Proper English an Newminster Ultimate English. I found that the Newminster seemed to a bit more refined and had a bit more going on. The PS was good also, just a bit more straight forward. Anyone who likes PSPE should try NUE, I think you will like it...

    Stokkebye LBF Vs. Newminster Round Superior Slices?

    Where is Roth when you need him? I know he has smoked both of them and really likes the Newminster. It's been a while since I smoked any LBF and I have never smoked the SRS.

    Recommend a Blend

    I would recommend GL Pease Caravan and McC Coyote Classic. You also might want to try Rattray's Red Rapparee. Another good oriental is PS Turkish blend, Va and Samsun.
