    Does Anyone Know Much About the United States Tobacco Co.?

    @woodsroad Do you know the history of the US Tobacco Co? Where it came from, what it swallowed up, what it eventually became?

    Does Anyone Know Much About the United States Tobacco Co.?

    Great find, thanks! So I guess the article should have read "Model, and Dill's Best" . I wonder if anyone currently owns the IP for these blends.

    Does Anyone Know Much About the United States Tobacco Co.?

    Turns out my Great Grandfather was a traveling tobacco salesman in the 1920's-1960's. Does anyone know anything of "Model and Dill's Best" tobaccos?

    There is a retail directory on this very website. Any logged-in member can list, review, or add notes. It's a great resource that I always consult when traveling. https://pipesmagazine.com/retailer-directory/

    This Pipe Has No Right Being This Good! What is it?

    Briar is an organic material. The burls do not grow with the pipe smoker in mind. Some pieces will be perfect smokers, some will be less so. There is no guarantee.

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

    Rouxgaroux in a 4th Generation bent brandy. Thinking of you, Mr. Ryan. I hope you're in a more permissive regulatory environment now.

    NHL Playoffs... Who's Watching and Who You Got?

    S' what I get for falling asleep up by two with three minutes to go... An improbable run for the Blues from a season-long perspective. Definitely proud of the group, even if a little heartbroken.

    2025 Chicago Pipe Show!

    I don't know anything about your finances or tobacco buying habits, but if being able to buy direct and tax-free from the world's best and most well stocked stores, artisans, and private collections isn't worth 50 dollars to you, I don't think there's much else I could say to convince you to...

    NHL Playoffs... Who's Watching and Who You Got?

    I don't think they're going to pull off an upset, but I'm rooting for my Blues anyways.

    Ever Do A Taste Off

    Maybe 8-10 years ago when I found this forum and started "getting serious" about my pipe smoking I ordered 2 clay pipes an a bunch of 1oz samples of different blending components from SP. Red and yellow Virginia, white and dark burley, that kind of thing. The most helpful thing to my future...

    I keep finding odd ducklings…..

    Wow. A well with a clog-able filter at the gurgle-ing bottom of it. You know, guys, that you don't smoke tobacco right off the stalk at 99% moisture content, right?...

    Inform Me On Watch City Cigar, Ravenwood, And KBV.

    I agree in principle. It would have been more responsible to make a different color of three nuns with dark fired and taken the original off market until they could source more perique, but I can also see the marketing case for why they didn't.

    Inform Me On Watch City Cigar, Ravenwood, And KBV.

    Without knowing exactly what level of detail of transparency you're asking for, I would point out that changing the components of and additions to blends to deal with the vagaries of a commodity crop and it's markets to get to a reasonably similar result year over year is the better part of the...
