Spanish, Italian, and Russian Pipe Tobacco
From what I've read the pipe tobaccos of that era from Russia were based on a native rustica so had a high nicotine level (7% compared to say a virginia at 1-2%) and weren't blended with other tobaccos; sounds kind of harsh. Later in the Soviet era they had access to Balkan tobaccos as well as...- prairiedruid

PAX Crawl 2-16: Standard Tobacco Blends
Thoughts on Smyrna......AWESOME!!!! Tin note is smokey with a hint of bbq. Like the previous blends of the crawl this is at a good moisture level.....jar it right away because you don't want it to get any drier. Packs and lights well. The taste is heavenly; smoky with a hint of sour and some...- prairiedruid

Burning My Tongue Just About Every Time
I burnt my tongue a lot when I started pipe smoking; it took awhile for me to learn to pack a pipe properly and to sip it instead of puffing like a freight train. Having a glass of tea, lemonade, or other beverage can help prevent/lessen the burn and I also recommend Biotene which helps your...- prairiedruid

PAX Crawl 2-16: Standard Tobacco Blends
Initial thoughts on John Cotton's No. 1&2.....it's okay. Cut and appearance is similar to the No. 1 blend but the tin note is a bit more sour to me. Packs and lights easily. It's a good blend with some nice smokiness but I definitely find the No. 1 blend more flavorful and interesting. Good...- prairiedruid

PAX Crawl 2-16: Standard Tobacco Blends
Well my friendly mail lady dropped off my tobacco today so initial thoughts on John Cotton's #1. Perfect moisture for me right out of the tin, packs and lights easily. Smooth mild smoke, I agree with an earlier poster about a woodsy cedar aspect to this. Mild yet satisfying I can see this as...- prairiedruid
