Gone . . .But Not Forgotten
The big advantage to purchasing from a local shop is the tactile aspect. You can hold the pipe and look at the grain and finish. You can smell (and if you have a good shop) and sample as well. Reviews are great, and give you a reasonable idea of what you are going to get into, but the actual...- rudybaker

Select My Next English
Nightcap definitely. If you are wanting to feed your TAD monkey, try JJ Fox Banker's or Solani or if you want a big dose of latakia C&D's Davinci- rudybaker

Help Choose the Next Lane Bulk Blend
I'd have to say the Crown Achievement as well. The return of hazelnut has been a hit for me (love the aroma and Im not an aromatic smoker) and the Black Raspberry is a crowd pleaser.- rudybaker

Exclusive Breaking News: Cornell & Diehl to Merge with Laudisi
For my two cents worth, I have been a distribution customer of Laudisi since they acquired Savinelli USA. They have been easy to work with from the off, and I have nothing but good to say about the level of service and the availability of product. I am based in NC and C&D blends are popular...- rudybaker

Nording

Rattray's Tobacco
I like the 3 Noggins. It has IMO a medium latakia hit and is a flavorful smoke. Nice little nicotine hit as well. I also like the Marlin Flake. It is a lighter smoke, but it has a sweetness to it. I also love the aroma opening the tin.- rudybaker

Anyone Try Drew Estate Pipe Tobacco?
I've tried them all and they are pretty subtle to me. The cut and humidity levels remind me of Stanwell Melange or vanilla. I believe these are blended in the EU. The Meat Pie is a nice English blend, not a latakia bomb, but just enough. There is an 8th blend that got held up (was going to...- rudybaker
