Surviving On Five Brothers Pipe Tobacco!
Big fan of Five Bros, I like the simplicity of a shag cut and the single note flavor. Does anyone know how D&R Two Timer compares? Also like G&H Kendal Mixed, it's kind of the Virginia version of 5 Bros.- mav

Good morning, I've been trying to add 5 bros to some different blends, both ribbon and ready rubbed but I can't seem to get the shag to mix. Any tips? Ratios? Thanks-- mav

Best Shag Cut Blends?
Another vote for Five Bros, along with GH Kendal Mixed which hasn't been mentioned yet. Tobacco Reviews says it's all Va (bright and dark fired) but smoking pipes says it a VaBur. Here is the Kendal family descrption from Tobacco Reviews: Kendal comes in a number of strengths and cuts, based...- mav

Show Off Your Meerschaum Pipes Here!
That is really exquisite. What I like about his work is that his pipes are unique but classic, and made for pipe smokers, imo. When I recieved my pipe my first thought was "This was made by a pipe maker, not just a meerschaum carver" if that makes sense. The proportions, along with the fit and...- mav

Show Off Your Meerschaum Pipes Here!
Just picked up this unsigned meer from pipesdepot on ebay. I was really interested in trying a reverse calabash meer in hopes that it would have a nice open draw since there's no connector. I've had trouble with tight draws on meers and was looking for something below the altinay, imp price...- mav

Thanks, that's helpful. There's some of his on Etsy that I'm looking at. I've had some stems in the past that were just too restricted to enjoy, even when packed lightly.- mav

Question on "Burginia" Aging
Thank you guys for the feedback. I'll just jar it up and give it a couple of years and see where it's at. Luckily I have three tins from 2020 so that should last me a while.- mav

Question on "Burginia" Aging
Hi everyone, I was wondering about a situation I recently encountered. I opened a 2-year-old tin of Mac Baren Golden Extra which I like to call "Burginia" because it's a Burley forward tobacco with Virginia added. To me it is a wonderful tobacco and I love the tangy, honey, fruitiness from the...- mav
