    Oregon Ban on Flavored Tobaccos Moves Forward

    Live in Oregon too. Looks like my orders might go up and my suitcase more full when I’m traveling back from wherever 😏

    Oregon Ban on Flavored Tobaccos Moves Forward

    Clarification here. If the bill goes through. I want to understand its implications. Meaning will it prevent stores selling pipe tobacco? Will it also prevent tobacco ordered online being able to be shipped here? Thanks for any answers

    A Peterson and Some 1894 Poetry

    Was just gifted this so I wanted to share. Excited to dive in. The pipe is a Peterson bulldog with a sterling silver band. Stamped Sherlock Holmes (Hudson). The book is Pipe and Pouch pipe poems from 1894! A hard bound book with a leather bag.

    What Would You Do? Last Bowl...

    Well in unscientific fashion it happened today. Thanks to this community, I took the recommendations and smoked them side by side today with great hopes of finding a continuing blend that matched my "Brigadoon" from Cascade Cigar. The notes below are the exact opposite of my following of...

    Can’t wait. Getting on Sunday the match comparisons recommendations of the Brigadoon. Going to smoke them side by side and post a review of my thoughts.

    Secrets Revealed: Bulk Blends

    Context. This continues from the “last bowl thread.” I would love to hear from former employees and store blenders. I’ve always assumed more exotic tobaccos and brands were used to blend renamed store blends (I.e. McClelland tobaccos and thus the end of some of the store blends because of...

    Enjoying all the input. Going to put in an order of Lane HGL and see if it’s close and I will post my final hurrah when I smoke it!

    What Would You Do? Last Bowl...

    Also can I ask. Does a store “blend” require that it is more than simply a renamed “brand” blend I.e. does Brigadoon have to have not only Lane HGL but a dash of something else to allow B&M’s to rename it?

    Thank you so much for this information. Can’t wait to track down some of this stuff and see how it matches! Cheers

    What Would You Do? Last Bowl...

    Another thought. Any veteran blenders in this community that if a bowl was sent could email me with suggested matches? Just a thought

    Got excited. Called and they confirmed their website hasn’t been updated for years. Lol.

    What Would You Do? Last Bowl...

    True I have plenty. This will be the first that not only is it no longer in production of which there is plenty and can still buy for a pretty penny. I literally have never seen this sold anywhere on the secondary market. That is what makes this sad to let go

    What Would You Do? Last Bowl...

    Title edited, Rule 9. Looking for some advice on a no longer produced tobacco blend. I have two bowls left of a 2014 blend called Brigadoon (I imagine it was sourced from McClelland's tobacco's). Kind of a sweet English blend. I haven't been able to locate anyone sitting on a stash of it...

    Best "Bulk" Navy Flake/Straight VA Flake

    Just curious. How do you know how old the bulk tobacco you bought is? I didn’t think to ask the b&m. And it obviously doesn’t have the tin date stamp. Is there a rule of thumb with store jars and how old their stuff is? I bought both the PS LNF and PS Lbullseye

    Loved the interview. Definitely makes me want to make the stop when I’m out in those neck of the woods
