    Looking for a Blend Similar to John Bull

    Comparing all these blends got me to thinking. I added some Price Albert to John Bull and I think it's pretty good that way too. I tried some Sutliff Burley J4 and it didn't work as well. I mixed two parts John Bull to one part Price Albert, and it really smoothed it out. I'm thinking of...

    Tobacco Ideas for a Cigar Smoker?

    I get a cigar-like taste from John Bull; it comes in a pouch and is quite affordable. They also sell John Bull cigars.

    Epiphany versus Match Revelation

    Not a detailed review, but I thought it might be helpful to compare the two. I never had the original Revelation, so I don't have that experience as a reference. The Match Revelation, made my Sutliff, I found to be very good. I liked the mix of different tobaccos. What I did notice was that...

    How Many Touch Type To Post?

    I learned to touch type on an IBM Selectric in a typing class in college back in the '80s. I don't set any records, but can easily do 40 WPM. I hate having to type out text messages on a phone. Texting is the most cumbersome method of communication, short of semaphore flags.

    Is Your Tobacco Cellar Large Enough to Outlive You?

    The problem I have is that my tastes change from time to time. I may stock up on something, but then lose a taste for it, at least temporarily. So I find myself trying to stock up on several different blends. I'm trying to narrow it down a bit. I'm trying to narrow it down to a couple of...

    Proper Storage of Tins

    I have a few tins of my favorites stored away. Something that just occurred to me though was whether it was alright to store them in a vertical position? Some I have lying flat (horizontal) but depending on the box I used to put them in, some fit better vertically. Does it matter if a tin...

    Do You Fetishize Out Of Stock Tobacco?

    I only have a mild curiosity for great, out of production blends I never tried. I wouldn't buy a new to me but out of production blend, simply because it will be hard to get. What has happened to me though, is there are a couple of blends I have really liked that stopped production. I...

    Looking for a Blend Similar to John Bull

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. I placed an order for several of them to try, and found a few others to add to my order. Should be fun trying them all.

    What's Happening to Cult Blood Red Moon?

    The closing of their American facilities was at the back of my mind in wondering about the lack supply. I do fear closing down in the US can only hurt supply, despite their statement to the contrary.

    Looking for a Blend Similar to John Bull

    I see where Lane HGL was a favorite of Herman Lane. I've got it on my list to try.

    What's Happening to Cult Blood Red Moon?

    I heard an unconfirmed report the Cult line of blends has been discontinued. I have found some for sale still online, but cannot find Blood Red Moon for sale anywhere. Does anyone have any news regarding this? This is one of my favorite blends. I have a few tins stocked up, but would be...

    Looking for a Blend Similar to John Bull

    Thanks. I do like the Revelation Match. I add a little perique to it and it's really good.

    Looking for a Blend Similar to John Bull

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob I like John Bull, which is labeled as an English tobacco. It contains black Cavendish, Burley, Latakia, and Virginia. I've added a little burley to it and think I like that even better. Can anyone recommend a blend similar to John Bull...

    First Impressions: Half & Half

    I had a pouch of this sitting for about a year. I didn't like it the first time I tried it. I don't know what made me go back, but I tried it every few months and didn't care for it. Then one day I tried it and really liked it. For me pipe smoking is like hitting a moving target. I have...

    Do You Have Prince Albert In A Can?

    My one and only prank phone call: Me: Do you have Prince Albert in a can? Tobacconist: Sorry, no. We mostly carry high end blends and bulk tobacco. Me: Uh, Okay. Thanks. Gotta call the right place for that one to work.

    Do You Clean Your Jars Before Jarring?

    As a beekeeper I've dealt with this question regarding honey. Research, including some people contacting the manufacturer, and consensus was that new jars do not need washed. I haven't been when I store tobacco, but I've only been doing it for a year in new jars so you can't go by that. With...

    Match Revelation

    I've been trying some of the Match blends of old, discontinued brands. It's a little like traveling back in time. I can't speak to the how close the matches are to the originals, as I never tried most of them. A new favorite of mine is the Match Revelation. It's pretty good on its own...

    Milan Tobacconists' Evening Stroll

    The black cavendish is the main tobacco taste I get. There is some vanilla taste, but another flavor dominates, reminding me of pastry. Tastes alright, but doesn't stand out from the pack. I bought this hoping it might be a match for Benjamin Hartwell Evening Stroll, but it is quite a bit...

    Sutliff Match: Briggs

    The Virginia seems to be the dominant tobacco in this blend, giving it a somewhat grassy or hay taste. I don't get much from the burley. There doesn't seem to be much added topping or casing. Burns well, but if smoked too fast can get a little ashy tasting toward the end. It reminds me of...
