    Favorite HU Tobacco Blends?

    Louisiana Broken, Old Fredders, Fayum Cake, Janneman Flake, Makhuwa. And all of mine have been since 2019 and very good. Perhaps I'm just lucky I didn't try the "good stuff" before K&K got involved as I really enjoy the above blends. Directors cut was my least favorite of the 8-9 blends tried...

    Blends Like Quiet Nights?

    Bijou. And don't hesitate to chill the Latakia by mixing a VaOr like Bijou into some QN for a familiar but perhaps cooler smoke.

    Summer Blends

    Pretty much the same blends but summer time also makes room for Sunset Harbor Flake sometimes with Bijou mixed in.

    Thought I'd Try to Make Some Mouths Water

    Certainly a nice collection. Enjoy it and the new place.

    Chocolate Aromatic Blends

    I can't say how good/chocolatey it is but next month I'm putting in an order for some Wilke Chocolate and their Chocolate and Peanut Butter. Both seem like they will pair well with coffee. Curious to know how they might compare with others mentioned here.

    One Pipe for One Day

    I rarely smoke more than one bowl in a day. If I do, it's sometimes the same pipe sometimes different. I can see where it might become more of a decision with more bowls in a day. Always the 3-4 minute paper towel, couple pipe cleaners cleaning after each smoke regardless.

    What Does "Winning" At Auction Mean?

    Thanks alot... way to make me again confront the fact that I really LOST on over 50% of my pipe acquisitions on the popular auction sight, lol.

    What Is a Pipe You Regret Not Purchasing?

    Just about all of @tfdickson 's pipes ;-) He can find the grain. Seriously I haven't regretted not acquiring, and that's with quite a few lost bids or out of stock already attempts.

    Estervals To Recommence Shipping to USA [5.23.21]

    I partially agree, but oh man... one tin of Janneman Flake and one or two tins of Old Fredder's wasn't enough from previous orders. The mildly spicy, naturally fruity and semi-sweet Janneman is fantastic. Old Fredder's is simply a wonderful VaPer that builds in strength as smoked. Having said...

    Estervals To Recommence Shipping to USA [5.23.21]

    Agreed. I don't think I'll be ordering again soon. Glad I received it, but certainly enough hoops to give me pause for the future.

    Estervals To Recommence Shipping to USA [5.23.21]

    Update on my previously mentioned order placed end of May. Order remained on track for estimated delivery of June 4th until it seemed to stall in a major SE U.S. Gateway the 2nd/3rd. No calls or emails at that point from me or DHL. Monday morning tracking status changed to delivery on "hold."...

    Estervals To Recommence Shipping to USA [5.23.21]

    I added my cautionary voice for forum members only because my package was/is late and not delivered yet. It's been on order since late May. So "...all other new shipments to the USA have been successful..." isn't quite true YET. I don't consider it false or intentionally misleading either...

    Estervals To Recommence Shipping to USA [5.23.21]

    Mine was/is already late as of end of day today when I posted. So no calling to get it early. Again, no communication or updates as to 'why' so I take that as fairly good news that the minor delay, so far, is for other more normal shipping reasons.

    Estervals To Recommence Shipping to USA [5.23.21]

    I bolded a section of the quote only to point out that statement isn't truly known of course. I urge caution for now as mentioned already... and here is where I'm at with my package. I have just under a 5 lb package sitting at a DHL 'big city' Gateway... been there 2 days and the package was...

    Revisiting Tobaccos that You’ve Hated...

    A year and a half in my pipe smoking journey, no cigs etc... so more a relaxing hobby than anything, I'm finally beginning to see the value in this statement.
