    C&D Sunset Harbor - Wow! What Other Gems Lurk About?

    I picked up a tin of Sunset Harbor. It is a simple 3 component "Balkanish" flake from Cornell and Diehl. Latakia-Orientals-Perique. No Virginia, No Burley. Spicy buttery smokey sublime goodness. This hits the sweetspot that Penzance seems to miss at times. I would liken this to a pressed...

    LJ Peretti Tobacco

    Tashkent will take you to a small settlement on the Arabian sea, with the souks full of spices and incense. Simple but fantastic smoke. Royal splits the line between a Balkan and English. Cuban Mixture is like carnival in the caribbean... Too many colors to see all at once but all working...

    Attn Cornell and Diehl

    How are they different? I have read the descriptions but they say little about how they smoke.

    Favorite Toasted Burley?

    I know there are burley lovers with preferences. Searching did not give me any good trends.

    Favorite Toasted Burley?

    I have seen that a number of folks like PS Toasted Burley. What do all of you think is the best toasted burley? Richest taste? Toasted vs double toasted? Most nutty?

    Home Blending Forum

    I love Trout Stream. It is one of the aromatics that I love to smoke. That said, I mixed it 4:1 with dark-fired and it changed to something all together different and tasty. I call the mix bull Trout and it is a favorite to smoke anytime of the year. I have yet to press this mixture but I bet it...

    *** What Are You Smoking? *** (October, 2019)

    A rainy, chilly night here in New Hampshire. My Ropp is full of Klondike Gold, 8 yrs of age, to warm things up. Oh, and a cup of lukewarm Orange Pekoe with a lump or 3 of sugar.

    When Was Dunhill's Prime?

    Not knowledge I have. I am only suggesting that many disagree regarding Dunhill quality as king of the hill of pipes in the 20's.

    When Was Dunhill's Prime?

    "And his pipes were, I think, inarguably better than anything on the market at that point (1920s, say)"... Yet, I have heard many say that the Kaywoodies of the time were better pipes than Dunhill and in the company of Barling's, etc. So many arguments regarding this subject.

    Oilcloth As A Pouch Liner?

    Has anyone had experience with oilcloth lined tobacco pouches? Does it sufficiently keep tobacco in good condition for day use or traveling?

    Hunter Blend

    While out for a smoke (dropped son at school), this nice RNP was flushed out of the hedgerow. Smoking a Big Ben Blast with White Knight and had a hot thermos cup of Jittery Joe coffee from Athens, GA.

    What are You Reading?

    Having lived in South Georgia for most of my young life, this book always pissed me off for its truth. Most novels rarely approach reality. I have spent a good part of my professional life fighting against rattlesnake roundups. And cock- and dog-fighting rings are always where you least expect...

    What Do You Do For a Living?

    I paddle around in canoes and kayaks, I sometimes jump out of them and swim around, freshwater conservationist, professor at times, ecologist, biogeochemist, natural historian, grease monkey, writer, photographer... I have had a variety of jobs not worth mentioning.
