    The Flavor Of Meerschaum

    +2 - I noticed a big difference after about a dozen or so bowls when new, which wasn't necessary with my estate Meer. My Altinay really muted the flavors when new and underwhelmed me, and it's an amazing smoker now. Mind you I only have three meers or Meer-lined pipes so take it what that's worth.

    Padron 2000, etc.

    I can second the above. I am of course biased, because I have a deep appreciation and respect for Padron cigars, but I believe they are possibly among the highest quality and consistent cigar brands. Neither of which always translate to an enjoyment of their flavor, because there are plenty...

    Is There a Tobacco you Seem to Like More Every Time you Smoke It?

    I take it the limited Macbaren navy plug was something that beckoned you?

    Is There a Tobacco you Seem to Like More Every Time you Smoke It?

    Excluding limited release stuff, recently that would be Burley Flake #1 and 965. I've smoked through a tin of both in little time which is saying alot due to how manic my sampling of blends is. In the past - Elizabethan Match, Watch City Simply Red, Three Friars, and Quiet Nights have had the...

    Gawith Hoggarth Has Dropped - Jumping In or Waiting It Out?

    So far. Other retails will be releasing it soon as well.

    Gawith Hoggarth Has Dropped - Jumping In or Waiting It Out?

    I don't think the Irish x ropes nor possibly some of the others came out yet this go around. But like other bigger releases, I'm sure they'll be some floating around all over the place at other retailers. Edit; looked into it some more - looks like maybe brown bogie was the only one not...

    Gawith Hoggarth Has Dropped - Jumping In or Waiting It Out?

    I would not have ordered bulk tobacco at the price listed if I didn't also want some individual cigars from the same retailer. I cannot, however, pretend that I am not excited to sample all the G&H blends I've never tried. Got an oz or two of most of their Lakeland blends. What say ye?

    I Hope in 2021, I Will... (Pipe Related)

    Good bunch of folks, y'all are. All good stuff posted here. I just want to be healthy and safe and hope the same for everyone else. Happy new year everyone.

    Dunhill/Peterson My Mixture 965

    Even though I don't smoke much latakia these days, I recently put down a tin of 965, that I jarred up a while ago, in record time. I find it to be a little acrid when fresh, and fantastic with a little time.

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!

    Thank you Secret Santa for the thoughtful gift! Two blends I've never tried!

    Holiday Blends 2020

    Like everything else I'll hold onto them in case things change in the future. Happened with Burley so it wouldn't surprise me.

    Holiday Blends 2020

    Cringle Flake greatly exceeded my expectations. I try not to bad mouth others' product that they work so hard on, so I won't mention the others that I've tried. After making my best effort of trying probably a dozen or so highly-acclaimed aromatics within the past couple of months, including...

    MacBaren Navy Plug-SPC 20th Anniversary Special Release

    I also am a schmuck for plugs, so I purchased some tins. I'm still on the hunt for that perfect VA/Bur blend. And of course I had to try the Vanilla roll cake... :LOL:

    Any Idea When the Next GH and Co Drop Will Be?

    They'll be distributing it all over.

    Any Idea When the Next GH and Co Drop Will Be?

    Ones I've never tried and want to get samples of: Bob's Brown and dark scented Ennerdale Grasmere If I like any of them I'll wait until things stabilize with the new Laudisi importing to buy in bulk.

    Any Idea When the Next GH and Co Drop Will Be?

    According to someone on another forum involved in the process, for whatever that's worth, a shipment has already left G&H headed for the states. The unknown is how long it will take to get to its destination, customs, etc. My non educated guess based on what I've read is by the end of January...

    Best Smoke at Reasonable Price?

    Padron "Thousand series", especially if you don't need a big cigar. They have a cheaper "Londres" line that I haven't tried yet. Oliva as mentioned. Gotta find your pick of the litter. CAO cigars can be had dirt cheap, again gotta pick the line that suits your taste. The cheaper Arturo...
