    Purple and Preferred. By...Whom?

    "Not sour grapes"..., Purple grapes..., what more can I say... I can only add that I only wish that, in fact, I was compensated for the Blend that I created with the "late" Craig Tarler. I never was and I am not now. I pay what you pay. But, I still believe that those that desire a mild...

    Purple and Preferred. By...Whom?

    The word "purple" reminded me of... "Captain Bob's Blend?" No, this is not an advertisement, I just could not pass up the opportunity to associate "purple" with my Cornell & Diehl Blend...

    Recommend me a tobacco?

    I really enjoy: http://www.milantobacco.com/milanpipetobacco.htm They offer wonderful tobacco blends for the aromatic and non-aromatic pipe smoker. Tell them Captain Bob sent you! They know me...

    Can you flavor pipe tobacco with grapes??

    FYI... I am not paid to promote my blend. I do not receive royalties. Since Sykes Wilford took over C&D, I pay exactly what you have to pay. I am just thankful that Captain Bob's Blend made the "CUT" because I really like the Blend that the "late" Craig Tarler of C&D and I put together. It...

    Can you flavor pipe tobacco with grapes??

    What ever happened to Captain Bob?... Well, I am still here, although generally reading and generally quiet... I was informed that Cornell & Diehl's Captain Bob's Blend is doing well and Internationally, as well. Thanks for your support (even though I do not personally profit from my blend)...

    More Vitamin N from sipping?

    mso489, Riverboat Gambler is ready to smoke, anytime. No aging is necessary. It is also a great mixer to enhance strength to mild blends. I love Riverboat Gambler by itself or to add as a strength builder to other favorites when more natural Burley Leaf is desired. It is an excellent blend of...

    More Vitamin N from sipping?

    Then, stay away from Cornell & Diehl "River Boat Gambler" until you really learn how to "Sip". Otherwise, you will never make it up your stairs! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Best Cake Building Tobaccos

    Dedicate pipes to specific (or, very similar tobaccos). If you want "cake", just don't ream it out after you smoke it. I do not recommend this, however. I always ream and clean every pipe after every smoke. I also alternate pipes and do not generally smoke repeated bowls in a given day more...

    Cornell & Diehl Cellar Series Review

    I am of the belief that every tobacco manufactured is ready to smoke "now". But, I have aged a number of different blends and I have never been disappointed, including aromatics. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    London Mixture - Latakia is growing on me (and a grape or two)

    Thank you for the kind words, Cortez! It is a journey and those who need to be satisfied, need to take a risk and experiment. I also agree with apatim... we should not leave "sex" out of the desire to satisfy...

    Aeromatic and Latakia Recommendations?

    I invite you to check out the Cornell and Diehl Blend that I created with the help of the late Craig Tarler (CEO of C&D). It is a light English blend containing 1/16th Latakia and has a wonderful aroma that does not mask the underlying tobacco blend of Red Virginia, Black Cavendish, Latakaia...

    London Mixture - Latakia is growing on me (and a grape or two)

    I Just had to do it! The tin description is: "Named for friend and customer Capt. Bob Coffey. A blend of Virginias and Burleys with just a dash of Latakia and Perique and finished with a refreshing flavor. "...

    Do I need a reamer

    Ream after every smoke. Use a "dull" pipe knife. I only use "Rodgers" because they are dull. They are available from IwanRies.com. Also, use a pipe cleaner after every smoke as well. Then, pull out the cleaner and allow your pipe to air dry. If you follow this procedure, you will rarely...

    London Mixture - Latakia is growing on me (and a grape or two)

    If you like grapes, you could consider my blend which is a "light" English containing Latakia (1/16th)and is flavored with some terrific "grape" aromatic along with other flavors consisting of Black Walnut, Maple, Caramel, Orange and Vanilla. It is available from P&C or smokingpipes.com. I...

    A Great Aromatic -- In A Pouch?

    I agree with mso489, I frequently order my favorite aromatic in two pound bulk. I save a lot of money buying in bulk from P&C or SmokingPipes. I place it in four quart mason jars and my humidor holds eight ounces. So, as needed, when the humidor is nearly empty, I dump the quart mason jar into...

    My Mixture 81

    eightyone, I am so pleased to see others delve into the "blending" challenge. This is so cool! I wish you the best of luck. I began experimenting with tobacco blending at age 17. I am age 64. Eventually, all my efforts came to fruition with the late Craig Tarler of C&D in 2005. In short, I...

    The FDA is "ramping up on aromatics"

    bzero007, I totally agree with you. But, our Politicians are "fickle" and they will vote on anything that they feel their voter's will find appealing. That is why we must all take advantage of the opportunity to let our opinions be heard by our Representatives. Otherwise, our silence is...

    How Many Forums are You on?

    Elliott, A bit of advice... Seeing that I have been an Independent Insurance Agency Owner for 42 years, I strongly advise you to be certain that you have CPL (Comprehensive Personal Liability"). It is part of your Homeowners or Renter's insurance. The "Rottie" is on the prohibitive list for...
