    Where to Get Esoterica Stonehaven?

    Throw up a WTB and see if anything shakes loose. Otherwise, get on Steve's list (Pipestud) and ask him to contact you if it comes in. Maybe someone will PM you with the location of a B&M that has it. I turned someone on to a location for Cabbies when I found it and they bought 5 tins...

    Cavendish Thickens The Smoke

    Good to note regarding more smoke. I believe that adding a little unflavored black Cavendish also adds a little smoothness and subtle sweetness. Good for adding to some English and Orientals that tend to be on the dry smoke or bit too spicy side.

    Any Love For Wessex Blends?

    Any fans here of Wessex? I found the Dark Flake to be a very good smoke with or without age. Not much discussion on this brand. So which ones do ya like and are they cellar-worthy?

    McClelland 2010?

    Man - from what I see in the pipe jars there, if they are primarily a cigar shop like to see their cigars! That's more pipe tobacco than I've seen in a shop in over a decade!

    Stout Tobaccos to Lighter Blends?

    BROBS brings up a good point about getting burned out!

    Your Heritage, Your Pipe Smoking

    Scottish blood here. Seems the genetics proved correct, as exemplified by my fondness for Scottish ale, nice Islays and stout Scottish blends.

    Stout Tobaccos to Lighter Blends?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob If you are partial to stronger, heavier blends, what do you think of lighter strength and lighter taste tobaccos? Good examples are English and Orientals that run from full on staggering pipeweed to barely noticeable offerings. Personally...

    Do Brick And Mortar Pipe Tobacco Shops Put Stock Aside

    Same here in FL. No state tax on cigars, so we have about the best prices in the country. Pipe tobacco tins are totally another matter. 1.75 - 2oz tins go for $30 and up. Same online is around $10 - $12. I buy fairly often from them, though. Last pipe shop open between Orlando & Sarasota...

    P-Lip

    I own several Petersons and all are P-Lips. IMHO, great at helping to prevent any type of heat on the tongue.

    Kinda New to Cigars

    Take a look at Dunbarten Trust offerings. Sobremesa, Umbagog, Mi Querida - all outstanding cigars and not real common. Certainly worth the coin. Also, PIO cigars. They are like Padron 64 & 26 series at about 2/3 to 1/2 the cost and are every bit as good, if not better. Fasten your seatbelt...

    New Mac Baren HH Tobacco Coming (2020)

    HH Mac Scottish Plug! Now, THAT would be something! A nice, stout offering with a bit of unsweetened Cavendish in a complex blend that is decidedly Virginia forward. Should be bold, like most of the other HH series.

    Where Are The Hot Tea Guru's?

    Chinese and Vietnamese Black teas are much smoother and have less astringency than Indian teas. Oolongs are beautiful teas that are super smooth with nice flavor. Skip the tea bags and go directly to loose teas and watch the water temperature and steeping times. Also, don't get the CTC teas -...
