    Hal o' the Wynd

    I'm considering buying some blending tobaccos. Maybe tasting them on their own will help me distinguish exactly what I'm tasting in blends. I've been a chef for years and. Many of them as grand saucier so I think I might even do well at my own blend using similar formula I used to perfect a...

    Hal o' the Wynd

    Very new Jud. I think I may be confusing periqe with latkia. I thought before I started smoking a pipe that aromatics would be for me and tho I enjoyed Peterson Xmas 2012 I couldn't stand any of the Peterson's or Carey'swith flavours. I like a Smokey nicotine (English?) Smoke

    Am I being a snob?

    Wow. I just had to walk away and come back to reply cos I probably would have made myself sound like a douche. The title was tongue in cheek and didn't really hold much relevance. I didn't even put packets down. I was asking if I should not let my first experience put me off trying others. I'm...

    Hal o' the Wynd

    I'm quite taken by Hal O' The Wynd, sherlock holmes,Peterson's Irish oak, nightcap and EMP kinda in that order. Do you guys have any suggestions of other's I'd like bearing in mind I'm limited to UK purchases. Am I right by saying I like vapers?

    Am I being a snob?

    I bought some over the counter blends (st Bruno, clan, condor, virgina blend) that were in packets instead of tins. I wasn't impressed with them at all and have only bought tinned since as result. I've now stumbled across some mac baren, some tinned and some packets, at a great price! What is...

    Give your pinkie a try!

    Ok I'm a first grade novice really but something I've discovered is if I use my little finger to pack I get a really nicely packed bowl. If there's a name for my packing method I don't know it - I let the tobacco fall into the bowl and use my pinkie to pack till I have a nice springy bed of the...

    Greetings

    Welcome dragonslayer. I'm very much enjoying a bowl of night cap right now. It's my favourite at the moment. I'm looking into some frog Morton. Especially as I've just got back from watching The Hobbit!
