    Last Year's Backyard Virginias

    Air cured Virginia i grew a couple plants of last year, ribbon cut, cased with vanilla extract (small amount of PG and alcohol), brown sugar, and water. Mixed 70/30 with some chopped up homegrown Va/bur plug that tasted like smoking "a half a pack of cheap cigs and burning oregano" according to...

    Wife Bought Me Old Pipes

    My wife and MIL went antique store shopping and she bought me this somewhat beat up pipe stand and three pipes. The Old Pal and Statesman are in decent condition but the cob is pretty battered. She also got me a couple old axe heads (I like to restore and rehandle them). Cool stuff puffy

    D&R Windsail (Original) Review

    I bought a tin of this because I like things with pictures of sailing ships, I have been smoking Virginia blends lately in an attempt to "learn" to smoke them better, and it was very inexpensive. When I opened the tin the first thing i noticed was that it was packed full, there is more tobacco...

    Planta Full English Discontinued?

    I added an ounce of it to my last SP order, I was going to add more to a current order because it's a good priced quality blend, but it says it's discontinued. Is it discontinued everywhere?

    Orient X-press

    This is v2.0 of this blend, it is Low Country's Natural Virginia & Oriental (Red Virginia and Turkish), chopped up CAO MX2 double maduro cigar, some of my BC buddy's homegrown Samsun and Habano, and a pinch of Latakia. Hydrated with distilled water and brandy flavouring, and stoved at ~220°F for...

    Oriental Pease

    Hey guys, I just saw the GL Pease sale at SP, so I figured now would be a good time to try out some Pease blends. I haven't smoked any of them at all yet, so please give me your recommendations for standout blends. Specifically, I was looking for blends with a significant Oriental component...

    D&R Ryback Short Review.

    I like it. I was looking for something similar to Drum, which is virginia/dark fired shag, and Ryback fits just fine, as it is virginia/dark fired/burley shag, and tastes similar to Drum only better and with burley. The shag can burn a bit fast and hot if you're not careful, but if you have the...

    Daughters & Ryan, The Best or The Worst?

    I haven't tried any D&R tobaccos yet. Every review I've seen is either very positive or very negative, no in between. I just ordered a 3.5oz container of Ryback, in the hopes that it will be somewhat similar in a way to Drum halfzware which I smoked as a kid in RYOs and like in a pipe now, but...

    Worst Tongue Bite Ever

    The setting: A camping trip/outdoor funeral for my grandmother in law. A small informal service at the campsite followed by somewhat excessive drinking with family. As night fell, a heavy downpour accompanied by wind and close lightening strikes ensued. Drinking continued, and I found myself...

    Extra Stinky

    I'm going camping with the men's group from my church, no wives present means I can smoke those extra stinky blends. I'm bringing some GH whiskey Twist and Dark Scented flake, C&D Pirate Kake, and I made a "smells like camping" blend, it's 50% chopped up Cao MX2 cigar, 30% Latakia, and 20%...

    Afternoon Pipemaking

    I have some free time this afternoon, so I decided to make a basic little pipe. A pipe-making friend of mine gifted me some pieces of Arbutus (briar relative) and I haven't worked with it before, so I figured hand carving a little pipe would give me a feel for the material. Tools used...

    Better (or Worse) Than Expected Blends.

    I recently tried a couple new-to-me blends that were much better than I anticipated. The first was GH Dark Flake Scented; it wasn't as smelly as people led me to believe. It is definitely pungent and potent, and does smell a bit like old people and aftershave, but in a good way. The tobacco...

    Dunhill A-25000 Golden Cavendish Bulk

    Anyone on here ever smoke this? If so, what's it like? There's only one review on Tobacco Reviews, and I may have just accidentally bought a pound of it... :puffy:
