    Royal Yacht, A Short-Short Review

    I really like this blend now. I couldn't stand it when I was smoking just aros. Ever since I started liking Sammy Gawith and Gawith Hoggarth blends I wanted to try it again. Now I'm digging it!

    Royal Yacht, A Short-Short Review

    I had bought a tin of Dunhill Royal Yacht a few years ago at a cigar shop. I was there buying a basket pipe which I do once in a while. I tied it and absolutely hated it. The taste was horrible and it made me sick from the nicotine hit. I ended up gifting it to a friend. Fast forward to a few...

    C&D Pegasus

    I actually mix one ounce of Captain Black Dark to four ounces of Pegasus. Man does it taste good, great nic-hit and a beautiful room note. The added black cavendish honestly effects the taste very minimal. It's actually for the room note.

    Lane Ready Rubbed Discontinued?

    I personally like Lane's RR better. I bought four tubs back when Prince Albert was on the lamb. The Sutliffs was like little pebbles that was next to impossible to light. I tried rubbing them out, drying it out, packing it differently, using different pipes. Plus it seemed to have a marshmallow...

    Sir Walter Raleigh Regular (?) -- Hey, What's Up

    I've been reading your posts for a few years and you did talk quite a bit about SWR Regular and Aromatic. I was always curious is to how you didn't taste anything in the regular. SWR regular was my all day smoke for a couple of years. I actually started with the aromatic version first, then I...

    US Forces WW2 Tobacco?

    SteveMRE1989! That's the guy! He's a trip. I love when he starts gagging LOL. Last time I watched him he opened up C-Ration from 1967 Vietnam War issued. He ate the crackers and the candy. He also smoked the cigarettes that came with it.

    Scotty's Trout Stream Now A Kit?

    I believe it was made by Lane Limited Tucker Georgia back then also. I saw a video where a guy bought Lane Ready Rubbed and Trout Stream "Limited Edition" and they both had the same manufacture labels on them. It wasn't "Scotty's" Trout Stream , just TS. I searched for that tub high and low LOL...

    Lane vs. Captain Black

    Captain Black is not bottom of the barrel tobacco. That is your opinion, but the tobacco used in the blends are of high quality and the flavorings are food grade. Lane Limited had been around for a long time, if the Captain Black line was "Craptain" like you say, they wouldn't have been selling...

    Prince Albert

    I love Prince Albert. I smoked Carter Hall for a while then switched to Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic for a couple years. I ended up buying a pouch of SWR Regular, that ended up being my everyday smoke for two years, I found out that I like Burley, Lightly topped Burley. Then I bought a box of...

    Pipe Smell

    That actually sounds delicious! I might just mix some Crooner with some Velvet.

    Another Great Show For Pipe Spotting.

    In The Heat Of The Night is one of my favorite T.V. Shows besides M*A*S*H, and yes, Carol O'Connor did smoke a pipe during the first 2 seasons. I think it was 89 or 90 after the second season he had to get bypass surgery and quit cigars and pipes all together. If you look on Chief Gillespie's...

    Trout Stream Has To Be Blended At Home Now

    It is a shame the tobacco nannies tied your hands. If you remember, I am the one who suggested to recreate "Tuxedo" on messenger. You are a very skilled blender and it's just criminal that you can't create! Classic Burley Kake is a masterpiece. Chatham Manor, I don't know why but it fries my...

    Is the Old Discontinued Lane Edgeworth Ready Rub Desirable?

    I'd pay $100 for a sealed tub of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed. I smoke the Lane Limited Ready Rubbed and I love it. That and Prince Albert are my favorite burley blends.

    Pipe Screens

    I have a Hecht Optime billiard I bought from France. It was one of many pipes found in an attic of a old pipe maker from the 1950s. They found hundreds of boxed pipes never used so I bought one. When it finally came I noticed the draft hole in the bowl was way too big and over to the left. So I...

    Prince Albert

    I was lucky to get an unopened tub and a few boxes of Middleton Cherry Blend from a buddy. The tub is from the mid-90s and it is completely different from when Middleton brought it back for the second time. The tobacco is darker in color and a bit more moist than the pouch/box version. The taste...

    Prince Albert

    Brobs, The pouch version of Prince Albert is hit or miss. The tub version is very good. I went into pipe smoking eight years after quitting cigarettes. When I first started on the pipe I was smoking Carter Hall, then Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic, I switched to SWR regular and stuck with that for...

    The "New" Carter Hall and Prince Albert

    I've had the Chatham Manor which was advertised as a Carter Hall match and I can say it is nothing like Carter Hall. When I opened the tub the tobacco was drenched in casing and when I tried to smoke it , it fried my whole mouth. I tried drying it out , packing it lighter and used filtered and...

    The "New" Carter Hall and Prince Albert

    This is sad news. I live about 45 minutes away from John Middleton tobaccos and this would mean that more Pennsylvania jobs are being sent out of the country. Prince Albert is my all day blend. Thank God I have a connection with a person who owns a cigar shop who inherited all the tobacco when...

    My New Blakemar Sir Douglas Pipe

    I am receiving mine this week! I'm so excited for I am a military plane enthusiast. Sir Douglas Bader is one of three of my favorite fighter pilots. Mike at Blakemar pipes is just the nicest gentleman too. I've been reaching out to him for two years about getting a Sir Douglas Bader pipe. He was...

    Edward G. Robinson Blend

    I actually like this blend very much. I first tried it a few years ago in the little 1.75 cans. I did not like it at first because both tins were dry as a bone and crumbled to dust in my fingers. I talked to Ben AKA The Artful Codger and he instructed me on how to rehydrate the tobacco. It was...
