    Howell sure makes gorgeous pieces…

    Quite a handsome pipe!

    Soap Taste When Smoking Virginia

    I got the same tastes from LJ Peretti’s Ampersand Flake. I was sure I was going to like it, but I don’t think I made it through my 1-2/oz sample before I put it back in my tobacco cabinet of failed samples, and never touched it again. I tried it on about 6 different pipes, most of which were...

    Soap Taste When Smoking Virginia

    I finish off my quarterly pipe cleanings with a quick rub of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey in the bowl… I keep a few airplane bottles of that in my tobacco cabinet just for bowl cleanings. I only smoke straight Virginias, and find it pairs well!

    Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S to acquire Mac Baren Tobacco Company A/S

    Ampersand Flake from LJP was the one that seemed like it would best fit my preferred flavor/profile, but alas I didn’t even finish the 1oz sample. I tried it in about 6 different pipes, most of which were freshly cleaned 🤷🏻‍♂️ Same soapy taste…

    Any good straight Virginia rec’s from Country Squire or Wilke that are bright and sweet? I wanted to like Peretti’s, but I can’t get past the soapy taste…

    What's Similar to Newminster 400 SNF or HH Virginia Flake?

    Well, I smoke roughly 2.5lbs per year, so at $200 for a 5lb bulk of Newm. 400, that would last me 2 years.

    Thank you! I like the Country Squire, but I don’t like how you can’t filter their blends to just straight Virginias in order to check out the flavor notes of their different Virginia blends.

    What's Similar to Newminster 400 SNF or HH Virginia Flake?

    Thats is true, I may in the least save up and buy 5-10lbs of NM400… people say that it’s beautiful when aged.

    What's Similar to Newminster 400 SNF or HH Virginia Flake?

    Not really panic, just frustration. I’m someone who locks into one or two blends, and that’s all I’ll smoke until the end of time. I just don’t have a lot of extra cash to store up pounds of my favorite blends like some others do, and get worried that by the time I have the extra money to do so...

    What's Similar to Newminster 400 SNF or HH Virginia Flake?

    As the title states, I’m looking for some recommendations to try a few new Virginia tobaccos. Over the past year, I have discovered my love for Newminster 400 bulk as my daily smoke, and HH Virginia Flake as my dessert smoke, occasionally a fresh batch of bulk Virginia No. 1. It may be jumping...

    Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S to acquire Mac Baren Tobacco Company A/S

    I guess we’ll just have to wait to see what happens. I’m sure it won’t be the end of the world; but you know, McLellands went OOB and we got over it 🤷🏻‍♂️ Some assholes are still smoking cellared FMC, but we won’t give them too hard of a time 😏

    Stokkebye won’t be affected? What about Newminster 400 SNF? That means though that the ENTIRE Capstan fan club will go away with this buyout… unless they know better than to alter famous blend/tins of tobacco.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

    This morning’s smoke is one of my favorites: Newminster 400 SNF, which like RookieGuy80 said pairs perfectly with the day’s first cup of coffee. It’s packed into a very early year Ehrlich Deluxe Canadian cir. 1960’s (the larger of my two Ehrlich Canadians), with the PARA stamped vulcanite stem...

    Now that you muscled your way through that mothball tobacco, would you consider yourself to be a “War Horse”? 😂

    Your Own "Best" Tobacco

    Can I just have a 10 year endless supply of HH Virginia Flake, and we just forget about the island? 😂

    Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S to acquire Mac Baren Tobacco Company A/S

    I almost exclusively smoke Newminster 400 and HH Virginia Flake, so that’s cool. Any similarly tasting recommendations from manufacturers that will be unaffected by this buy-out that I could start trying now, in case this all does go though and the quality tanks? Well, before I get upset, who...
