    Randy Wiley Pipes

    I have two of them, both purchased as estates. I have smoked less than ten bowls through both pipes combined and each smoke has been very good. I am looking for at least one more for my collection. I hope this is useful..

    Question about Milan Tobacconist Private Blends

    Sunset Rum, Chartwell and Colonial Pastime are the three I've enjoyed the most. Chartwell is smokey sweet, has no bite and the flavor lasts the entire bowl. Unfortunately my tobacco notebook is lacking respectable notes on the other two.

    THE QUEST FOR THE BEST: aro's

    I forgot one. Herbal Fruit from HU. Hard to get but worth the effort. It is very unique.

    THE QUEST FOR THE BEST: aro's

    Holy Smoke from J Paul Tucker's Oxmore Smoke Shoppe Celebration from Mission Pipe Shop in California Aro #7 from Watch City Cigars Black Stoker from Uhles Pipers Pleasure from Boswell's I enjoy all types of pipe tobacco. I choose these aromatics because they do not bite or get bitter and...

    What Do You Do With Tobaccos You Don't Particularly Care For (But Don't Hate)?

    Lately, I've been trying my hand at blending. Those tobaccos I find mediocre are utilized to experiment with blenders and other tobaccos I do like.

    Broken Tenon

    I would send it to Walker Pipe Repair. I sent an XXL Brian Ruthenberg to him with a broken tenon. The repair could not have been completed any better. Mike Myers does all of the repairs for Walker with excellent results.

    Please Send Us Your Own Home Made Blends

    I recently tried Brian Orion's blend and really enjoyed it (below). I cut it in half in case I didn't like it. It's pretty Latakia strong so I added 3 more grams of Sutliff Maple Walnut. All measurements in grams 12-McClelland Latakia 7.5-Sutliff Vanilla Custard 3-Sutliff Maple Walnut

    Where are you purchasing unflavored black cavendish? Gawith brown isn't available right now and the black cav is smoked I understand.

    do you drink while you smoke?

    I don't smoke that much, but I always drink when I smoke. Usually whiskey/whisky or red wine, occasionally beer. I pair the two according to my taste and mood. Then adjust the volume on the quality of the day/week. :D

    THAT is some pipe tobacco, man cave badassery! You're a fortunate man.

    Under the Radar Aromatics

    If you want something off the beaten path, try "Holy Smoke" from Oxmore Smoke Shop in Louisville, KY. They have a web page but this tobacco is not listed, so I just call it in. 502-426-4706. There are very few reviews at www.tobaccoreviews.com however, what is there scores it a 3. It's not...

    Neat Pipes and Radice a cautionary tale?

    Well, this has taken quite a long time but I am happy to say that I am very pleased with the outcome. I sent the pipe back to Radice which put a wide sterling silver band on the end of the shank and returned to me. Upon smoking twice the shank cracked almost to the bowl. So once again I reached...

    Old Bengal Slices

    That's beautiful stuff! I love the new version and have quite a bit cellared. One day I'll find a tin of the original to compare it to. Thanks for sharing.

    How many...

    Over 100, I'd say I've smoked all but 12 that I tinker with (repair, refurbish or practice). Pipes I need? Probably a dozen or so since I dedicate certain pipes with a particular blend..
