    HH Burley Flake Replacement Recommendations

    Okay Mr. Pip, I capitulate to your vast knowledge of tobacco processing. I had absolutely no idea that casing is applied to most pipe tobacco in order to smooth the smoke and enhance the natural flavor profile. I also had no idea that some casings are completely neutral, while others have...

    HH Burley Flake Replacement Recommendations

    I said cased with flavorings. Why are some people so quick to "correct" others. Sarcasm is not providing helpful information.

    HH Burley Flake Replacement Recommendations

    Cased with flavorings or topped is all the same to me. If Burley Flake No 5 has flavoring that would explain why I don't like it. I know I read that No 1, 2 , and 3 are not flavored, and I doubt No 4 is.

    HH Burley Flake Replacement Recommendations

    According to C&D, the Burley Flake Series has no toppings and are all natural. That said, I would recommend No 3 over No 5

    Gawith Hoggarth New Blends

    Interesting that Rodeo and Kendall No. 6 have the same components description. Bright Virginia's tend to bite me. I wonder if these would, but they both sound like something I would like.

    Firebird Flake Release Must Be A Success

    Can you provide an example of where C&D hyped up this release? I genuinely curious.

    Firebird Flake Release Must Be A Success

    I don't do social media other than a few BBs, so I wouldn't have seen what you are referring to. My point is that the same tired old complaint of "over-hyped" is brought up any time there is a limited/special release which causes it to go fast. The "super hype" is not from the manufacturer...

    Firebird Flake Release Must Be A Success

    Where exactly did SP "super hype" it? It was advertised as a limited release with a list of what tobaccos are in it. Pretty much a matter of fact ad. Hype is perceived because it's a limited release?

    Firebird Flake Release Must Be A Success

    I love the "reviews" of tobacco no one has tried yet. Particularly the Chinese customers complaining that it was limited to (I assume) domestic buyers. I also love how people always mention the "hype" as a marketing ploy. Most of the "hype" is on forums, not from advertising. Very limited...
