    Aromatics Help: Not Just Something that Smells Nice

    This is very true, I totally agree. As an example, Solani Aged Burley flake was totally terrible to me the first time I tied it. I put it down for months and was running short on tobacco and picked it back up. Not only was it amazing, but I also smoked it first thing in the morning and got a...

    Favorite Blends from Local Shops

    I thought I might start a thread about favorite blends from local shops. I know not all of us will have experienced them, but I thought it might be fun to share some of them and what makes them unique. I'll get the ball rolling. Please let me know in the off chance you might have tried the blend...

    Aromatics Help: Not Just Something that Smells Nice

    This is an amazing list, thanks everyone! There are some on here I wouldn't have considered, but after hearing more about them, I will give it a shot! I'm going to setup an order next week. I found out (thankfully not firsthand) that if you order too much tobacco in a short time, they will...

    Aromatics Help: Not Just Something that Smells Nice

    Thanks for the detailed list and breakdown! I am also interested in trying some of those "inbetween" blends, where it's not quite an aromatic but not quite an English or pure Virginia. I have found that sometimes those are some of the most complex blends. Thanks!

    Aromatics Help: Not Just Something that Smells Nice

    Hello again! I'm looking for some help with aromatics, and I thought I could differentiate my post from others by specifically asking for something that not only smells nice, but tastes really good and discussing what I have personally had experience with. Notes I tend to look for are things...

    Help Making a Decision About Expensive Pipe

    Decided to go with the frugal option and use the funds for more pipe tobacco. I also was swayed by some people here saying that maybe a Castello might be a really good investment, not simply a limited edition pipe. Thanks for the help everyone!

    Thoughts on Smoking Indoors

    I would also add there's a ton of walking here. Like everyone walks, even heavy smokers. Men and women smoke all over the place. I wonder if that lowers the mortality rate and maybe that's why smoking isn't seen as such a big issue indoors and outdoors (coupled with the ventilation)? It's...

    Thoughts on Smoking Indoors

    I agree with that sentiment, I'm living in a city now and it's just not enticing to go down the elevator and out into the public area to smoke, there's way to many people out there to enjoy a nice bowl. Before I lived in the country and I was outside enjoying 3-4 bowls a day throughout 12 months...

    Thoughts on Smoking Indoors

    I think there were some interesting point brought up. I agree with posters here who talked about avoiding it around those with allergies or asthma or pregnant women, that makes sense. I also agree with the posters who talked about allowing store owners or businesses to allow smoking or not. I...

    Thoughts on Smoking Indoors

    How Many Of You Would Smoke Indoors Everywhere If Given The Chance? Title edited for excess caps and brevity. -jpm Original above. I've been contemplating the changes in smoking laws and customs recently and was wondering what the latest thoughts from all of you would be. I live in a country...

    Kohlhase And Kopp Blend Recommendations

    I went ahead and ordered some Wintertime 2021 and the Leonardo da Vinci, looking forward to trying it out (when it arrives in about a month and when I can find the time to go pick it up at customs, so probably like 6-7 weeks out lol! I also ordered some of my favorite Drucquer and Sons and will...

    Kohlhase And Kopp Blend Recommendations

    That is a nice tin! I wonder why they only offer that in the UK? I've looked and only seen this one as well, but know they have many more offerings.

    Aro Toppings: What are They?

    One thing I've noticed (and this isn't absolute by any means, just a general observation) is that OTC blends have more additives. Half and Half has something inside that makes it burn a lot easier than blends at a local tobacco shop or other higher end blends. I also found Half and Half and...

    Kohlhase And Kopp Blend Recommendations

    Those look amazing! I will try both! That's good advice also about ordering, I will keep that I mind! Thanks!

    Kohlhase And Kopp Blend Recommendations

    Oh yes thanks I was thinking of those as well, those are the ones that have the numbers on the tins (like 88, 33. etc.). Do you recommend any one over the other? I was thinking of getting all of them but there are about 7 different ones and I tend to not like to order too much at once. Thanks!

    Kohlhase And Kopp Blend Recommendations

    Hello Everyone. I'm preparing for the rather arduous and time-consuming task of ordering tobacco and having it shipped internationally to me. I have been looking at some of the blends featuring the Kohlhase and Kopp name (blend 33, 44, 88, Leonardo da Vinci, etc.). I know that K&K owns a lot of...

    English Blend for Beginners

    I'm really sorry to hear that. There are tariffs where I am, but they are not that high. In that case, I would recommend Rattray's since I have seen that for sale on German sites. Kolhase and Kopp also make an English blend or two but I haven't tried them. Solani also has some English blends. I...
