What Am I Looking For??
A very good medium English would be Father Dempsey - both bulk & tined. Another,slightly stronger blend to try would be Wilke Hearth of Galway. These are a bit different from FB, but have a common thread in that they include Latakia and are very smooth with no harshness. Loads of other fine...- badbriar

Offensively High Resale Prices On Unicorn Blends
The reason an ethical person would NOT do that is because someone else would not get to honestly get to buy said unicorn tobacco blend. My stance is that ethics have apparently gone tits up and morons seem to support it. I bet those same geniuses would cry and bitch if they wanted to go to...- badbriar

Esoterica Blends
Iwan Ries doesn't really do that any longer. I've been a regular customer for years - online. No more notifications for HTF's. That actually is not a big deal, as the only Esoterica I like is Margate. Seems like they cater to the buy-as-much as-you-can crowd that do the stupid markup resale...- badbriar

Offensively High Resale Prices On Unicorn Blends
At the risk of being flamed into oblivion, am I the only one that believes that this relatively recent phenomenon is getting greedily out of hand? I mean, when someone is able to purchase an 8 oz foil bag of a highly sought after pipe tobacco for around 50 bucks and then resells it for some 6 -...- badbriar

Alcohol Soak Works
I acquired a nice looking Lorenzo Spitfire quarter bent that has been a bit difficult to clean. Finally decided to get it finally done and ran into a really dirty pipe. It appears that this pipe must have been put up without any sort of cleaning done for some time. It took well over a dozen...- badbriar

Wilke Pipe Tobacco Blends
I've ordered and gone through a number of Wilke blends so far and have to say that nearly all of them have certainly been to my liking. The most recent I've enjoyed is Vice Cat. This one is a veritable Smorgasbord of various leaves. It is a rich, somewhat complex blend that burns well, is...- badbriar

Care To Recommend A Good Burley?
I recently purchased a very good English-Burley from Wilke and am looking to branch out to try more Burleys. Appreciate some recommendations on good, medium to strong Burley blends. Also, maybe some with a light topping. Thx - RR- badbriar

Dating Sutliff Tobacco Tins
I recently fed the TAD and picked up some John Cotton's and Warhorse Bar tins and am looking to see if anyone knows how to determine the manufacture date. All of these have three numeric digits at the bottom center on the back. Could that be the 'born on' date? these happen to be quite...- badbriar

Initial Thoughts on Wilke Pipe Blends
So, I am onto another Wilke blend that is fast becoming a favorite of mine - High Hat. This one hits on all cylinders for me - good latakia presence that is not overbearing, a bit of sweet, mildly tart, smooth, creamy, rich and full taste with lots of smoke. Burns cool if sipped lightly and few...- badbriar
