    Flying Dutchman

    I wish this tobacco was still being made. When my wife and I first got married she was a general manager for Chick-fil-A. She was in charge of three stores and one was in a mall. Across the store was a pipe and cigar shop. When I would go to the mall to pick her up I would wonder to the tobacco...

    Favourite Dad Moments as a Pipe Smoker?

    I started smoking a pipe when my two sons were in elementary school. They say they don't really remember me not smoking my pipe. My oldest is 24 and my youngest is 22. I was a cigarette smoker for years since middle school. I quit cold turkey. I didn't start smoking a pipe regularly until four...

    Pegasus: Love for One Blend

    That's exactly what I do with the Pegasus and Winchester labels. I just peel them off and stick them right back on the Mason jars.

    C&D Winchester & Others

    I order all my C&D bulk blends from SP. Because the C&D manufacturing is done there and the freshest. To be honest most of my tobacco comes from SP because I smoke a lot of Gawith Hoggarth blends too. Now, when P&C has a sale on tins like University Flake, Royal Yacht, Irish Flake etc. I'll buy...

    Types and Brands of Pipe Tobacco, 1920's to 1940's

    My great grandfather had a "pip' in his mouth all day. It wasn't lit all the time but it was there. He smoked more than four or five bowls a day. The living room had that smell all the time, even when I didn't see any smoke emitting from his pipe. Union Leader smelled good in the late 70s and...

    Deer Tongue? That was easy!

    I'm smoking some Gentleman's Caller as I type this. I like this and Crooner, but the latter could use more deer tongue. My son said GC smells like oatmeal raisin cookies. You really have 40lbs of Engine 382!? Wow! Is it really that good!?

    Question about Prince Albert

    I know this is an old feed but I'd say go for it. 30 bucks is good for a pound of tobacco. Prince Albert is one of my favorites. I still have a few tubs of American made stuff and three tubs of the Dominican Republic made. They are both good. The Dominican Republic stuff has a stronger tobacco...

    Any Suggestions on a Straight Virginia?

    CS Cowboy Coffee is a beautiful smoke. Virginia, Dark Fired Kentucky and some Cavendished Virginia.

    KBV Jupiter Slices First Impressions

    A friend sent me an order from Ken Byron. I told my friend that I'm not a virginia fan, I smoke mainly burleys. So he ordered Byronic Hiro, Jupiter slices/plug and Ravens eye and had it sent directly to me. I immediately transferred them into Mason jars and let them age for a few months. All I...

    Question about Prince Albert

    BL/WB is an aromatic. I don't like it. It's not like any other burley I've smoked. I don't like the sauce used and to be honest, it bites!

    SWRA Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic

    Hi Tom, SWRA was my second everyday blend. Carter Hall was my first then I bought a tub of SWRA by chance and loved it. Then I saw some forums with how people liked SWR regular better. I bought a pouch of it and found that I like burley forward if not an all burley blend. I smoked that for a few...

    Re-visiting Lane Ltd. HGL.

    I keep a quart Mason jar filled with an HGL and RLP-6 mix in it. What I do is get 8 ounces of HGL and 4 ounces of RLP-6 mix them in a huge mixing bowl then jar it up. I let it set for about a month before I touch it. I like it on the sweet side. HGL plain is too much Latakia for me. Cutting it...

    What Tobacco did your Ancestors Smoke?

    My Great grandfather "my mothers stepmother's Dad) smoked Union Leader in Dr. Grabows billiards. If the Acme and drugstore was out he would smoke Prince Albert. My stepfather's brother smoked Captain Black original and Royal. In his den he had a pipe rack with 8 pipes and a tub of Captain black...

    Pipe Smoking Musicians

    I've been trying to research what his favorite tobacco was. We all know he liked the straight apple shape.

    Info on Sugar Barrel Tobacco, Please.

    You are correct. I just smoked a big bowl of 2014 Middleton Sugar Barrel in my Vintage Dr. Grabow Royal Duke saddle bit billiard. I tried to find a good match with no avail. The Sutliffs Sugar Barrel match and the sweet Cask is nothing like Middleton's. I suspect that they are both the same...

    That Old School Aroma

    I believe you with that. I know that some of the older blends that aren't around anymore used it as a vanilla flavoring. Half and Half had it as a condiment as well. So did Heine's Blend back in the 40s and 50s. Another flavor that is in these old estate pipes is Musk. Mixture-79 had musk.

    Lane Limited RLP-6 and a Smile

    Captain Black doesn't have their bulk line anymore. When they moved from Tucker GA. to Denmark they axed a few products. I've never had 7 seas gold. I've only had their cherry and it was terrible. MacBaren doesn't agree with my tongue. Anything from MacBaren bites the crap out of me except for...

    Lane Limited RLP-6 and a Smile

    Sorry for the late response, been working a lot. For your question, the MV and CBG is not sweeter then RLP-6 in the sense of room note and mouth feel, but it's sweeter in the "tang" and bready notes. RLP-6 is Burley and Cavendished green river Burley with some virginia. The MV and CBG is...

    C&D Winchester & Others

    Hey, I actually smoke Winchester right out of the jar. I don't have an issue with needing to dry it out. Could be too that I've gotten an older batch maybe. I usually dry out flakes and Lakelands. Winchester and Pegasus are my main smokes right now and they are pretty much ready to go from the...
