    First Time Blending.

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob Bought some Sail tobacco from one of the few remaining Brick and Mortar stores because I was desperate. Then I received my regular order of Pipe and Book Old style from Cup O' Joes. Any thoughts on how I would go about blending them?

    Smoking Inside the House

    My dad passed away 2yrs ago now and he is the one I talked pipe smoking with. Everytime I return home, I can still smell his pipe tobacco scent lingering in the air. He used to smoke Royal Tivoli until it was discontinued and then switched to Amphora regular. Nice memory.

    Okay To Use a Filter Pipe Without a Filter?

    I have a Husky Medico pipe that is made for a filter. My father was also of the opinion that filters were not worth using, so grew up with that. However recently tried Brigham's Rock Maple Distillator for the fun of it. What a smooth smoke. I think your safe with or without, but enjoyed this brand.

    Sadly Sieverts in Halifax, one of the only brick and mortar pipe tobacco shops in Nova Scotia is closing. Staff were always friendly and knowledgeable about pipe smoking. I even took a flea market pipe to them, when I couldn't get any draw out of it and they fixed it at no charge.

    Seattle Plum

    Great comments. It actually does smoke well. Just very different than what I am used to. I will have to try the new Amphora Burley for sure.

    Seattle Plum

    So I ordered this tobacco based on the name and the fact that I was born in Seattle originally. Being the romantic I am I thought that it would smell like plum pudding. Boy was I wrong, it's aroma is more reminiscent of old dirty socks or dead fish. However is a nice smoke, so can't have...

    Love this tobacco. Went a couple of days without as I waited for it to arrive. Perfect Black Cavendish. A great sweet smoke. Nice to have my pipe and tobacco again.

    Tolkien's tobacco( almost)

    Just got some Capstan Ready Rubbed from Cup of Joes. I know that Tolkien smoked Capstan Blue, but this was close as I could get. I smoked it in my churchwarden pipe and imagined I was a wizard.
