    Where art thou Christmas Cheer?

    I'm just hoping that the FDA will be too swamped with the massive vaping industry to pick on us pipe people too much.

    Worst Tasting Blends Ever

    I understand when people simply don't like a flavor, but what's harder for me to comprehend is how something that will seem very mild and even near imperceptible to me (the tonquin in 1792 for example) are overwhelming for others, to the extent that the flavor will completely obscure the tobacco...

    Adding Cinnamon To A Blend

    Update: the Lorann Oils cinnamon flavoring is extremely effective on tobacco. I smoked a bowl for a preview. The McCormick cinnamon extract you buy at the store works OK, but is diluted in propylene glycol and alcohol. I'd guess it might work better for your purposes, since you just want a hint...

    Kendal Dark Vanilla - Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.

    Yes, your review of Lakeland Dark was helpful because I like the 1792 quite a bit. Anything with "Gawith" in the title that has a substantial amount of the potent dark African Virginia/Indian leaf is a winner for me. For the record, the Lakeland Dark is Dark Fired Kentucky and Virginia, which...

    Worst Tasting Blends Ever

    I'd send some Ennerdale to shutterbugg's house as a joke, but he'd probably have to move.

    You just sold me on it.

    Worst Tasting Blends Ever

    By the way, this thread is going to be a treasure trove for me. I recently wrote this in my review of Mixture 79: Ashdigger has already reminded me that I really want to try Sam Gawith's Firedance!

    Worst Tasting Blends Ever

    I'm fortunate in that I've tasted everything from Samuel Gawith's Black XX, to Ennerdale, to Mixture 79 and can't say that I've tasted a single tobacco that was bad to my palate. The tin note of Latakia was initially very repellent to me, but after smoking a few English blends I decided I...

    Royal Yacht: Full Review.

    Dottie, that's funny--in the U.S. we associate Burley with cigarettes, but I'm told in other countries it's the reverse.

    Royal Yacht: Full Review.

    I see you've already gotten through a bit of those by your recent reviews, but somehow I missed this Royal Yacht review. It seems that one current theme in the blends you like is the African and Indian grown Virginia leaf, which is quite a different beast from your standard Virginia. I've heard...

    H. Sutliff - Mixture #79

    Interesting! That's pretty cool that you still have a tin of the stuff. War and Peace may take quite a few bowls--I read it and several other of the Russian classics one summer and I almost went blind. I actually knocked out War and Peace, Anna Karenina, The Brothers Karamazov, and Crime and...

    Kendal Dark Vanilla - Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.

    This is actually a shag cut unlike the broken flake of Lakeland Dark, though it may be a fairly close relative. I've read that Kendal Dark is essentially a shag cut version of Gawith, Hoggarth, & Co.'s Dark Flake (unscented). GH's Dark Flake and SG's Lakeland Dark are probably similar from...

    H. Sutliff - Mixture #79

    Yes--ChasingEmbers's post was what inspired me to order this!

    Ah Crap, I Like Mixture 79

    It's official: I'm a fan. I've posted my review here. A brief excerpt:

    Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Happy Brown Bogie Twist

    Jay, I missed your note regarding the OED! It's much appreciated, and it wouldn't be the first time I've tracked a term further than has the OED. Perhaps I will drop them a line. The Gawith twists and flakes are indeed difficult to keep lit. I've found that I just have to overdo the first...

    H. Sutliff - Mixture #79

    Only Balkan Sobranie for two decades? Wow. Off topic, but how do you feel about the new iterations of Balkan Sobranie? And just to clarify, I'm an occasional aromatic smoker--I only smoke an aromatic probably once every other week, unless you count the mildly flavored offerings from Gawith's...

    Kendal Dark Vanilla - Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.

    I recently reviewed GH’s shag cut Kendal Kentucky and Dark Birdseye, and hawky recommended I give Kendal Dark a go as well. I ended up ordering the vanilla version just to spice things up a bit. I figured it’d be interesting to see what 1-Q would have been like if old Gawith and Hoggarth blended...

    Massacra - A Death Metal Masterpiece

    I think it's spelled "gnaque."

    H. Sutliff - Mixture #79

    A while back I mentioned that any time I see members drama-queening over how bad a blend is, I immediately have to try it. The reason is that I love variety, so anything that's a bit out there is fun for a change of pace. The boring blends don't inspire hate; they inspire apathy. Anytime you see...

    Latakia versus Oriental.

    I didn't so much like latakia when I first tried it. When I opened my first tin, I was horrified. It smelled terrible to me. I can completely understand the body odor reference, and it's not even the first time this has happened on these forums. Now, I do support what others are saying to some...
