    TAD Purchases

    Man you guys are lucky. I wish I could get away with ordering that much all at once. It pains me to make so many small orders. Write your Congressmen asking them to annex Newfoundland as the next state; make my life a little easier!

    Molasses Flavoured Pipe Tobacco?

    That sounds amazing. I'm surprised there are no similar blends made to capitalize on Stonehaven's absence from the market. I really wish I could come across some of that, I'd even pay eBay prices for a tin, presuming the seller would ship it to Canada! Tommy, I simply use molasses/treacle...

    Straight Virginias

    Lawrence, My only gripe with Hal O' The Wynd is the claims of high strength and nicotine content. I might pick up a tin to save for a rainy day all the same. Maybe I will one day adjust and find such blends enjoyable. Is the perique noticeable in HotW to you? I've read it has a small amount...

    Smokingpipes.com for Canadians?

    4noggins has worked well for me. I was just wondering about SmokingPipes; I will still be getting 90% of my tobacco from 4noggins. That SP.com 1 oz sample is convenient as hell for trying new bulk blends. Or aromatics - I already have way more than I can smoke now and the casing will be gone by...

    Smokingpipes.com for Canadians?

    Have any Canadians used the popular etailer Smokingpipes for their orders lately? I am interested in buying some cheap 1 oz bulk blends for sampling purposes. I don't want much tobacco at a time, just enough to justify my shipping. Ohin3(Phil) told me a long while back that his last couple...

    Molasses Flavoured Pipe Tobacco?

    Did you notice the treacle in it, Tommy? How did it translate to Stonehaven's smoke?

    Straight Virginias

    Hessenland, Thanks for narrowing the McClellands down for me a bit! The Virginia No. 27 does sound good and I'm going to read up on it a little more this evening. The medium strength and balanced profile fit the bill exactly; I'm trying to discover good VA, simple as that. I appreciate your...

    Molasses Flavoured Pipe Tobacco?

    Thanks romeowood. If I get extremely curious I will resort to trying my own molasses casing; however, I think it would be very difficult to get right. I have never heard of Tasty Puff before either. Knowledge is power! As for Altadis their list of aros didn't seem promising for my little quest...

    Straight Virginias

    Thank you for the suggestions, Kevin. Union Square seems to be almost universally acclaimed, I'm definitely going to pick that one up soon. I'm glad to hear you think it is mild, the reviews I saw also indicated that it could be a bit stronger. If there is that kind of variability, I'll take a...

    Molasses Flavoured Pipe Tobacco?

    Is there any readily available molasses/treacle flavoured pipe tobacco in existence? I've heard Esoterica Stonehaven was flavoured with it. That piqued my interest. An aromatic, perhaps? It may be a constituent in any number of blend casings, for all I know. From what I've read, however, it...

    Straight Virginias

    I know this topic may be battered to death over time, but I've been searching through the forums and I still can't decide on what to purchase. I'm looking to try some straight Virginias of mild to medium strength; I'm not looking for anything remotely resembling a strong smoke, "medium plus" is...

    4 noggins excellent service

    I've had several orders from Rich, he's been great. Always prompt and professional. Packages came fast and without any hassle. As a result, 4noggins will be the only etailer I do business with. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    To dump, or not to dump...

    I have thought about it and done it more than once but I never noticed a huge difference. I will try a few more times and see what I think. Thanks.

    Escudo - Love at First Light

    Tommy, Let us know what you think of it when you finally receive it. I think it's worth promoting to the top of your wishlist.

    Tin presentation and blend name

    I like that one too, Fred. It's similar if not identical to Solani 633 (except for colour) which I've heard good things about. I bought it over some other VaPers for that tin. Also on that page, I like the Balkan Sasieni label. It was a factor in my purchase. To me, the look echoes Balkan...

    Havana Cuba

    I wouldn't want to mess with US Customs at the Canadian border, forget about the Mexican one. I've heard of too many people getting detained for accidentally crossing the border - nevermind intentionally smuggling forbidden Cuban goods on your person. A package is one thing; bite the bullet on...

    If Guns Kill People.......

    I've never held a gun in my life, let alone shot one. I wasn't raised around firearms. It isn't a right according to Canadian law. I cannot miss what I've never had. But I can appreciate what all you fellows are fighting for; I would sleep better at night knowing I could defend what was mine in...

    Large TAD of a single tobacco

    I'm thinking of getting 8-10 tins of Escudo Navy Deluxe to age. That'd be a huge amount for me to order of one tobacco. It'd probably last me the best part of two years if I decided to smoke nothing but that. I'm going to try Hamborger Veermaster next time I order and see if I think that's a...
