    What tobacco next?

    Kramer’s Father Dempsey is fantastic. As is Samuel Gawith Squadron Leader. In bulk, try Cornell & Diehl Mountain Camp or Cordial, both excellent blends.

    Shag Tobacco

    And there’s a restored version coming back to market, *with* actual birdseye, just announced by GH at a show in England last month. Rachel Gawith said on PSD that it would take a while to get to this side of the pond, but at least it will be the real thing (for those who’ve noticed that the...

    C&D Pegasus

    I only recently discovered MB Golden Extra, and am sad that I only got a pound before the supply dried up. Such a tasty blend. Pegasus, however, was not to my taste on my first or second smoke of it last summer. I have to see if I squirreled away the jar at the back of the cellar, or if I...

    Organic pipe tobacco brands?

    Wow, I've been a practicing Christian all my life, but I did not expect @our_lord to turn out to be such an ass. You learn something every day.

    Iwan Ries in ‘Chicago Magazine’

    That was a lovely piece. And I'll admit to falling for Douglas's fine patter and purchasing a pipe from him when I went in without intending to buy one that day. It is a lovely-looking pipe, though I haven't had a great smoke out of it yet (a Briarworks C12 that has a bit of a gurgle no matter...

    Shag Tobacco

    Another vote for D&R Ryback and GH Kendal Dark/Kendal Kentucky/Dark Birdseye. Even the “Classic Cut” of the GH is pretty finely cut. I just got some GH Kendal Gold #14 Dutch shag from SmokingPipes that I think is pretty darn tasty if quite moist in the bag. It has all the cocoa goodness of a...

    The Official UnUnOfficial Not Official PM Secret Santa 2025 Thread

    My brain broke trying to figure out if UnUn- was enough to cancel out the Non- in re: Official. I call shenanigans.

    What's with all these pipe tobacco brands being discontinued?

    Buy what you like NOW. But also be open to discovering new stuff, and when you discover one you like, stock up for the cellar. Tobacco will never be cheaper than it is today (or was yesterday), and blends come and go all the time. And if you find one you reeeeealllly like, put out a call on the...

    Peterson Old Dublin

    I acquired five tins of Old Dublin that have a few years on them via a trade earlier this year but haven't had a chance to open one yet. I'm glad to read this necro'd thread and see that I may be in for a real treat, as I like savory smokes like GH Black Twist, and this sounds like it might be...

    Mac Baren Wharehouse

    The warehouse fire was at C&D in 2004, destroying the Syrian Latakia stock of C&D (and GL Pease, whose blends are produced at C&D). Mac Baren ran out of their Syrian Latakia in 2018, according to Per Jensen. Read more on the Dutch Pipe Smoker blog: https://dutchpipesmoker.com/tag/warehouse-fire/

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2025?***

    Just had a bowl of 2020 GLP Cumberland and it hit me hard with the nicotine, which I did not expect. A very dry and peppery smoke, something to revisit before bedtime some night.

    Expected price per tin

    I paid $23 for a tin of Anomalous a few weeks ago when I came across it at a B&M. Then I snagged a whole pound of it and one of Eccentric via a fella who had bought it out of the Sutliff warehouse when they were closing down, paid $60/pound.

    Hot pressed tobacco

    Some enterprising fella could make a small killing by offering the equivalent of a “one-hour Martinizing” service to hot press tobacco…

    Smoking Jacket, Anyone?

    This is exactly why I have a designated hoodie and/or a smoking tunic that I don when heading out to the patio for a smoke. Anything I can do to diminish the amount of smoke that ends up on my clothing only helps to maintain marital harmony. (Obviously I also wash my hands and brush my teeth...

    What are You Reading Now?

    I'm well in to The Company, a fictional history of the CIA, and finding it to be an excellent read so far. (I am listening to the audiobook version.) We're up to the Bay of Pigs in the narrative, and I sure hope it works out!

    I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want!

    He who controls the Spice, controls the Universe

    Last word? HAH! Fat chance around here! But I interpret "spice" as that peppery tingle. If it's a specific spice I'm getting, I'd call it out (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.), rather than just "spicy."

    ***Ravenwood Blends - The Briar Fellowship Restock Alert***

    A tin of that new burley flake is on its way to me, as well as a bunch of his other stuff like his Halloween blend, Wychthorn. Great blender!
