    Perique What blend should I try?

    I too love blends with a pepper spice to them and have found C&D Exclusive to deliver it the most consistently. Some others that present it more often than not are C&D Three Friars, Daughters & Ryan S.J. Rimboche, Pipes And Cigars Anniversary Kake, and sometimes I just smoke a bowl of straight...

    Light Latakia Blends?

    I too burned myself out a bit on Lat blends and now prefer a lighter hand with the smokey leaf. That being said, the Last blend I reach for most often these days is Peter Stokkebye English Oriental Supreme; it is heavier with Lat than Presbyterian or EMP but it is balanced by the other leaves in...

    Consummate Gentleman and Old Limey Bastard

    Thanks for the info on the B&M! Always nice to hear about a tobacconist who goes the extra mile to please their customers and offer something unique. That Old Limey Bastard sounds fantastic.

    Help : Overdose on Aromatics

    Try Cornell & Diehl Haunted Bookshop, it's a non-aro burley blend and is great for breaking in a pipe and just smoking whenever, and it won't leave any ghost behind...see what I did there! 😉

    Thanksgiving Day Smoking Choices

    I will definitely smoke some LJ Peretti’s Thanksgiving Day, I finally bought some this year and tried it already and it is one fine blend! I will also smoke a English blend with some Latakia in it for the late evening, which will probably be Pirate Kake.

    Re-visiting Lane Ltd. HGL.

    Lane HGL was the first blend I ever tried with Latakia in it and I got such a bad tongue bite from it I swore I would never smoke it again but I gave it another shot and now it is my favorite crossover blend. I don't smoke it all the time but I enjoy it every time I pack a pipe with it. It has...

    What would be your 2022 Holiday Blend?

    I would maybe try a mix of bright and red Virginia's, some dark fired Kentucky, a little dark burley, with some Cavendish with cinnamon and fruit flavorings...have no solid idea how it would turn out, but a strong tobacco forward blend with a hint of sweetness and spice sounds good to me for the...

    Cobs or Briars?

    I like briars, meerschaums, and cobs. That being said I smoke cobs the most often; I like the open draw, light weight, and ease of maintenance of cobs and if I scorch the rim with the lighter a little it's no big deal. My briars see their fair share of use but I'm much more mindful of...

    Aromatic tobacco searching

    I also recommend Cult Blood Red Moon if you like chocolate covered cherries and the smell will definitely please a crowd. Cornell & Diehl's Autumn Evening is another that tastes and smells amazing as well.

    Who Buys Tins to Age Ten Years or More?

    I don't buy a tobacco blend for the specific purpose of aging it for long periods of time, I just want to buy in quantity the blends I like so that I can smoke them in the future and however long that is is how much age will be on them. I love the blends I currently smoke in their current state...

    Decaying Leaves Makes Autumn Best

    The trees in my yard in southern Ohio are looking great too. I have always liked fall and like it even more while enjoying a pipe full of tobacco!

    Confused about Pipe Smoke

    I smoke cigars outside because of the amount of smoke they put out is more than I want in the house and cigar smoke like cigarette smoke can smell stale after awhile. Pipe tobacco smoke on the other hand I find not only smells great but also disappears a short time after smoking. I will say I...

    C&D Autumn Evening

    Autumn Evening is definitely a good friend of mine. It's not goopy at all and burns perfectly every time. It really delivers on the maple flavor without tasting artificial or cloying and has one of the best room notes I've ever smelled. The topping also doesn't totally drown out the tobacco...

    P.S. Luxury Twist Flake

    I find LTF to be an excellent tobacco fresh and aged. If it isn't a good tobacco to smoke fresh then it won't be good later either.

    How About Those 7 or 8 oz Tins?

    It's a sad state of affairs to see shrinkflation hit tobacco, but just more proof that it's never cheaper than right now to stock up on your favorite blends and look for bulk versions or suitable bulk alternatives to tins and tubs. I try to stick to the $5 per ounce limit like others but that is...

    Cornell & Diehl Haunted Bookshop

    Haunted Bookshop is my surprise desert island blend. I first tried it a few years back because of all the recommendations it gets and at first wasn't blown away by it. But over time I found myself coming back to it time and again. It has everything I want in a smoking experience, ease of...

    Rotation

    Perhaps the herb? 🤣

    Hello from Sunny Southern California

    Hi and welcome from Ohio. I too started with cigars and still enjoy one every now and again, but pipes and pipe tobacco grabbed my attention and haven't let it go, and just like you, I found out my grandfather on my dad's side, who died before I was born, smoked a pipe and we both like/liked...

    Cringle Flake 2022 Dec 3rd

    This reminds me I haven't even tried the tin of 2021 I bought. I came down with covid shortly after ordering it and I couldn't smell or taste for 5 months. I'm going to try it out and then decide whether this year's version will be different enough to pick some up.
