Boswell's Blends
Holy Necro-Thread! The original advice stills stands 7 years hence. Boswell's does aromatics well and their Northwoods and Countryside are well regarded English blends. Northwoods is a heavier Lat blend of the two... Another blend worth checking out is their Premium Burley if you enjoy mild...- thomasw

Found Another American Beer To Fall In Love With.
Greetings Jay -- I haven't 'seen' you in the last while and I have missed your posts! Glad you like the IPA.

Sasquatch's remark rocks. Let it echo against Prima Donna Carvers and Entitled Clients alike: some communication and trust are so important and need to be reasonably balanced. When I commissioned a pipe late last year, I looked at samples of the carver's work on his site and requested a pipe... -

PayPal
Agree 100% with Foggy aka Mr. Dunhill aka The Stain Taster :) PP is very, very useful if you are a buyer who has been defrauded. I like the fact that PP puts the responsibility on a seller to be honest. If you are a honest seller you have little of which to be wary. The only lame thing is that...- thomasw

Some excellent options listed. I will add Solani's ABF even though it is hard to find right now. If you are a serious lover of adventurous burley, that is African and South American burleys, you might wish to try some from HU Tobacco which is available through pfeiffendepot.de ..... I recommend...- thomasw

The Frank Method
When it comes to packing tobacco, I find nothing is as critical as the humidity at which you like to smoke it. If you like your tobacco on the dry almost crispy side, just load it so that before lighting there is a bit of resistance when you apply suction. But there are some exceptions, for...- thomasw

Tobacco Recommendations Please
What tastes do you enjoy and not enjoy? For example, do you like spicy foods, saltiness, nutty and/or smoked meats? Citrus sweet and/or sourness? etc. Your preferences should give hints to those would make the most accurate recommendations.- thomasw
