    That will stink... It's a great resource.

    Drying Time

    I smoke mostly English blends and for the most part, they don't need much/any drying. There are exceptions, though, which include pirate kake. It's something like 50-75% latakia and MOIST. At least a couple of hours for that.

    Margate. Isn’t It the Cats Meow!

    would you say Star of the East is comparable as well? I've seen some comparisons, but I did not like Star of the East.

    Pipe Tobacco is no Good Anymore/Better Than Before

    Those with experience, do you feel that Esoterica's offerings have changed much in the last 30 years? In particular, their blends with latakia?

    Pipe Tobacco is no Good Anymore/Better Than Before

    But wouldn't what is in the Escudo tin TODAY be the real escudo? Not what was in it 30 years ago? Are we having a time paradox?

    Seattle Pipe Club Virginia Jazz Tobacco Review

    Popped the top on my tin that had been sitting for close to 2 years... not bad! This is coming from a non-VaPer. It seems to have a lot more flavor (savory, vinegar, a little citrus and bread) than others I've tried in this genre. Hopefully, SPC can find a way to keep this one amidst the...

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2025?***

    Finishing out the workday with a bowl of SPC Virginia Jazz, my first time trying it. Not much of a VaPer fan, but some sp.com reviewer said it should be called "Vinegar Jazz", so I had to try it. So far, nice vinegar on the retro, which is what I was looking for... smoked in a Rossi Rubino Antico.

    Margate. Isn’t It the Cats Meow!

    I have a feeling I will be like "this is not worth the hassle" but I hope I'm wrong.

    Moving to Burley Blends - Advice Needed!

    Half and Half is pretty good. I'm not sure if you are wanting straight burley or burley forward, but I LOVE Party Line from MM.

    Margate. Isn’t It the Cats Meow!

    I've got a tin each of Margate and Pembroke delivering tomorrow... really interested in how it goes. Now just need a tin of Penzance.

    Pipe Sighting at the Movies

    aaahhh, the days when you could smoke anywhere and everywhere... including mission control. I don't know that life has gotten better since then.

    One (Or A Few) Tobaccos?

    I do a pretty wide variety, including small batch/new release. I do crack new tins of SPC Plum Pudding(all varieties), MM Party Line, Freja and Loki, Nightcap, CBRM, and Haunted Bookshop Cake... those are ones I regularly come back to.

    I've Been Gone 5 Years...What the Hell Happened?

    Buy some Plum Pudding Special Reserve, MM Partyline, Haunted Bookshop Cake, Freja and Loki and smoke those dudes right out of the tin... snag a tin of Palmetto Balkan, if you can find it.
