    Sometimes they look at me as if I said I sell *BLEEEEEEEEEP*

    "When I tell people I’m a tobacconist, sometimes they look at me as if I said I sell child pornography," she says." - Carol Burns in an interview with the Boston Globe from 2006 ( LINK ) Just recently came across this fantastic article, and that comment from Carol Burns, the owner and master...

    Mesquite or Hickory Flavor Tobacco?

    If your are looking for that spicy, fragrant smoke flavor of mesquite/hickory, you might want to try the Club Blend. While it's no Latakia, is has this intense woodsy smoke profile, without the "burnt ash/rubber" that Latakia offers.

    I especially like how the restoration brought out the flash in your camera!

    Infused Black House is Awesome!

    Yeah, you know it all, I stink (insert selection of :clap:, :crying:, :worship:, or :nana: smilies here). Good thing you came right back to do some good old "told ya so" finger-pointing. Bottom line, the infusion came out more than wonderful, so can't be all crap, eh? :puffpipe:

    The Return of Dunhill's Elizabethan Mixture

    Aperitif, Elizabethan Mixture, Durbar are three extremely wonderful Dunhill blends. I sincerely hope they will come back!

    Infused Black House is Awesome!

    Okay, so I've had both infusions brewing for over a week now and I gotta say that Makers Mark Bourbon works a hell lot better with Black House than the spiced rum. The Bourbon imparts a very nice malty, toffee flavor to the blend and rounds it out extremely nice. Sailor Jerry's Spiced Rum on...

    What is the Best Cherry Tobacco You Have Smoked?

    Based on these recommendations, I picked up a Samuel Gawith - Celtic Talisman tin last week. Can't say I care for it at all. Tastes like kid's cough syrup. Yuck! Guess, cherry baccies are not for me.

    Overrated & Underrated Tobacco

    Classic trolling post :-) Right up there with Apple vs. PC, Linux vs. Windows, Nemoy vs. Data, and Hitler vs. Godzilla. Come on - taste is so subjective that you are guaranteed to get everybody to either rate a blend below the average or above the average rating across the community...

    More Tax Pain for Canadian Pipesters

    50g tins are now 34$, 100g tins at 68$. I told my local B&M that I'm very sorry and that I won't be able to pay these horrendous prices anymore - advised the owner to look into joining a tobacco lobby. He was very sad to loose my business but told me that he'd heard the same thing from most of...

    How Do I Tell When The Smoke Is Truly Finished?

    Your smoke is truly finished when you suck up pure ash, or what might happen even before that, then you've burned a hole into the heel of your pipe :-)

    Feedback on Phillip Trypis?

    Congrats, Moses! Shipping at 20 bucks isn't too bad, considering ... I payed 25$ or so to send an international package from Canada last time I shipped to the US ...

    Infused Black House is Awesome!

    Can't say it did - awesome tobacco flavor. More mellow for sure, but still full-bodied. Yep. They just mix faster with a little sunshine :) Also, as GL Pease state in the article referenced by Kevin, heat activates the volatiles, aka. the "good smell" and "taste" of the Bourbon and Rum. Not...

    Infused Black House is Awesome!

    Well, first off, I dried about 4 oz of Black house on a large newspaper page spread out thinly, for about 24 hours (these days with the heating running its extremely dry indoors). The tobacco got Really crisp, made sure not to crumble it, so had to treat it like a raw baby egg. Then, I put...

    Infused Black House is Awesome!

    Just had my first bowl of my freshly Infused Hearth & Home Black House. After marrying with some Sailor Jerry's Spiced Rum for 3 days (inside in a glass jar in the sunlight), the tobacco which I had before dried to a crisp state, has beautifully rehydrated and absorbed the spiced rum...

    Honey to Break In?

    Nah, I don't put any extra stuff. Just use some nice Burley tobacco. McBaren Golden Extra and Carter Hall work exceptionally well for breaking in a pipe.
