First Bowl Of Burley
Have yet to find a burley I can tolerate. I so desperately want to like Peretti's Thanksgiving blend (among others). I can't get anything from it. No sweetness. Just bitter, acrid smoke that overpowers the casing and anything else in it. I can taste it when it's used in other blends as a...- dontbeaburleyman

My first order in 12 years ... advice needed please.
Two favorite aros are Scotty's Butternut Burley (at Pipes & Cigars) and Milan Tobacco's Colonial Pastime. Neither has flavorings that overwhelm the tobacco. Pastime has a bit of latakia. Wife doesn't mind either!- dontbeaburleyman

Balkan bite
Been working through different balkan blends. Really enjoy Margate, Tashkent, Arango Balkan Supreme amongst others. Opened a tin of Balkan Sasieni 2-3 years ago and cellared it. At the time, I was fairly new to pipe smoking and found it to cause a bit of tongue bite. Opened it back up this...- dontbeaburleyman

Hi All! What do I need to know to purchase pipes, tobacco etc from Europe and other non-USA countries? How is the conversion rate determined? How are payments usually handled?

What Did Your Fathers and Grandfathers Smoke?
My Dad didn't smoke. I'm told his father (my grandfather) smoked 5 Brothers from sunup to sundown. Immigrated from Italy in 1918. Farmer. Probably a pretty tough dude!- dontbeaburleyman

If You Had To Do It All Over Again
Had to post! I don't regret the experiences of the past few years of pipe smoking, except the late date at which I started. What I do regret is the era in which I started! Grew up in, and still live in a town with no tobacconist. In fact, the closest is about 50 miles away. The government...- dontbeaburleyman

Similar to Plum Pudding
Hi All! I really enjoy SPC Plum Pudding. Something about the oriental/latakia ("incense") type flavor I really like. What blends are similar? Don't want to replace it, just expand my horizons in this genre!- dontbeaburleyman

Help With Identification??
Hi All!! Been stalking the website for a few months now! Started smoking pipes when I got tired of the ridiculous prices they're charging for cigars. I'm enjoying it very much.
