    What’s Your Fave Dunhill Blend?

    Don’t be put off. There are plenty that love it, myself included. It’s in my top 10.

    Sounds like I need to put that on my list!

    What’s Your Fave Dunhill Blend?

    I have a few tins but have yet to try them. Can’t remember if they’re Orlik or Murray’s.

    What’s Your Fave Dunhill Blend?

    I think in the basic line up of English blends - The Aperitif, London Blend and Durbar were all great. I was never a 965 fan but I have this 25 year old Lane era bulk that is really incredible. Didn’t appreciate it years ago. I’m with you on Royal Yacht. Wish I had tried it sooner but I was...

    $800 De Minimis Import Tax Exemption Set To End Friday

    Ah. Silver or Gold? Highest I ever had was silver I was surprised when I dropped back to bronze. Didn’t realize it was a yearly thing.

    Erinmore Flake, dizzy after more than 1 hour of smoke

    BTW, for Erinmore fans, Erinmore pops up a bunch of times in Patrick Taylor’s Irish Country book series stories.

    Confusion on St. Bruno Ready Rubbed

    Me too. I have sometimes smoked Flake in a pipe that had an Erinmore ghost. Nice combo.

    Not typically but occasionally they jave done blends for others in vacuum sealed round tins. This was Per’s request for the series.

    If/Then: Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls

    I would also recommend trying some with a few different ages to see how it will be in 5 years or 10. Some people are surprised that they actually prefer a blend fresher.

    If/Then: Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls

    Personally, as much as possible I would buy what you like. Watch for sales and stock up on stuff. Especially watch Nova bc they aren’t charging NY sales tax yet. That said, I’m sure others will chime in with some great options.

    Per says Germany will be first after the US.

    Per Jensen with New Blends on Radio Show of August 26, 2025

    Took me a minute but that is my impression, too. I’m listening to the show for the second time now. Yesterday I had it on while mowing. Usually I can make out most of what’s happening in my Work Mate headphones but for some reason it was just the right pitch and timbre that I could hear Brian...

    Erinmore Flake, dizzy after more than 1 hour of smoke

    One of my favorites along with University Flake, as others have mentioned. A few thoughts: Smoking after a meal helps dampen the nicotine effect Relax your cadence a bit. Puffing slower gives better results overall but will also slow down the nicotine intake. Depending on what size pipe you’re...

    Ah. Didn’t realize it was only for gifts.

    $800 De Minimis Import Tax Exemption Set To End Friday

    I think there is a $100 de minimus that will remain. Not very helpful but it is something.

    I saw the same thing about EU post and other services included DHL for goods deliveries.

    Which one of you worked on today's NYT "Connections"? (Spoiler, don't look if you play)

    Saw that. It’s one of my daily morning plays.

    CAO's Moontrance.

    On my recent dive into Euro aros Davidoff Danish and Dan Tobacco Black Velvet are both winners. Good balance of tobacco to other flavors and perfect humidity.
