    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    No. Not sure where commenters are getting that from. Maybe they know stuff I don’t. Maybe their tasters are more dialed than mine. I don’t even care about cigars and it’s just so good. Rich, soft, deep, complex, and yes, a touch sweet. It made me try other cigar blends that weren’t on my...

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    King’s Stride is a new favorite. Really great stuff.

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    Fresher in a good way or fresher as in less mature and therefore less tasty?

    I’ll bet that doesn’t suck.

    Trying Different Blends - HU Directors Cut

    All of it. Literally try all the tobacco you can afford to. If you have a brick and mortar shop to go to, do that and buy several 1 ounce bags of various bulk things to try. If not, 1 ounce bulk samples can be ordered on various websites that sell pipe tobacco. Go to Smoking Pipes dot com and...

    “New” Brulor, Terrible Taste

    Just conveying my experience with Brulor pipes specifically and mischaracterized pipes on Smoking Pipes generally in an effort to say that maybe the stem on his Brulor is not vulcanite and therefore might not be oxidized on the inside of the stem.

    “New” Brulor, Terrible Taste

    I think Brulors come with acrylic stems. It might say vulcanite in the description but the one I bought, and returned, was for sure acrylic. The same goes for Ropp pipes. They all say they have vulcanite stems and all of my 4 came with acrylic stems.

    Seeking Chocolate Burley Recommendations

    I love most of Ernie’s blends but that one was a miss for me. Shame too because I absolutely love the name.

    Rivertown

    Both Sunrise Select and Crimson Shadow are great, especially for the price.

    Seeking Chocolate Burley Recommendations

    As I understand it, the blend has become less chocolate-y with the American release. I wouldn’t know though because all of mine is from Germany 2022 and I find that plenty chocolatey.

    Photos Upload Issues

    You ought to start your own pipe smoking forum. That way, you can make it just the way you want it. Me, I’m happy using this forum. I had to re-crop a pic yesterday too. I sized it down, posted it, and went about my business. It truly is that easy.

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    Very excited about this acquisition. I’ve only tried SJF. Never had Golden Glow or any of the new Per blends.

    Neat Way To Hold Your Pipe While Driving

    100% yes but my car would be less “pipey” so thats something.

    Seattle Pipe Club Vegas show announcement.

    Sounds good. I’d try it.

    Samuel Gawith Drop is on at SmokingPipes

    Bobs is better in my opinion. From my recollection Bob’s has more chocolate, less Latakia, which I prefer.

    Bruno Nuttens Thirds

    I bought one but returned it because it was loaded with fills. No disrespect to Bruno at all but I much prefer fill-free Ropps for the same price or maybe a few dollars more.

    Per Jensen’s Upcoming Blends at C&D

    I’m curious to know people’s thoughts on these blends. Who’s tried em?

    DAMN!!! MOLDY G & H DARK PLUG

    While GH&Co do say their blends are meant to be smoked fresh, that does not mean they can’t or shouldn’t be stored.

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    Mini acquisition this time from my B&M. A touch over street when it was released but I’m buying goodwill too.

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Interesting. This Euro version seems to be more broken than the American version I’m more familiar with.
