    Squadron Leader vs Early Morning Pipe

    I don't know if this comparison makes any sense but the descriptions sound very similar. I'm looking for something that maybe comparable to EMP that I have smoked. I'm looking to try EMP but I want to find out if it's as lacking in flavor as I find Squadron Leader to be. As if that's the case I...

    Hearth & Home Bulk vs Tinned

    So let me start off by saying I love a bunch of the H&H blends with Magnum Opus and Blackhouse being at the top of my list of H&H blends. I'm interested in ordering a pound of each and so far I've only ordered them as tins. It's considerably cheaper to buy them in bulk. I was curious about...

    Sutliff Molto Dolce Help Needed!

    Ok so I picked up a tin of Molto Dolce about 2 months ago. The flavor is amazing as is the aroma however it sizzles when you try to light it and is extremely hard to get lit. I dumped the can out on a sheet of paper and spread it out. After 1 night the sheet of paper was completely brown. I...

    Dunbar vs Stonehaven

    Ok I know Dunbar is a Va/Per and Stonehaven is a Virginia/Burley mixture but I'm curious of what people's opinions are of the 2. I recently came across some Dunbar. Like most Esoterica tobacco's it was very moist. After a good hour or 2 of drying it smoked really really well. In fact this is...

    Loss Of Latakia Taste

    Ok so I love my Latakia blends. However over the past month or 2 I've noticed a distinct decrease in the taste of Latakia. It seems I have to smoke stronger and stronger blends to get that same taste. I keep my open tins in tightly sealed mason jars filled to the brim so I don't think it's a...

    My First Savinelli

    So I just happened to take a look at the new Savinelli's on smokingpipes.com when I happened to come across this pipe. I've been looking for a pot or a prince or any other shape that is very wide with a shallow bowl for smoking my english/balkan blends. I'd like a second just for Aro's but 1 is...

    Bohemian Scandal Alternatives

    Ok so I've heard so many good things about the Syrian Latakia in GL Pease's Bohemian Scandal however I certainly can't afford to buy a tin of it on ebay. Does anyone have any good alternatives to try? I did some searching on the forums and saw a bunch of suggestions of 3 Oaks Syrian as well as...

    H&H Fusilier's Ration

    I love Blackhouse. I love Magnum Opus. I love Larry's Blend. Now I'm curious to try Fusilier's Ration. I've read the reviews out on the interwebs and I'm curious what my fellow pipesmagazine friends think of this blend from H&H. Thanks Fitzy

    Stonehaven Alternatives

    I've been interested in trying Stonehaven for quite some time to see what all the hubbub is about. However I am much too slow when I do get the in stock notice to actually buy some before they are long gone. So I was thinking of asking you good folks what comparable alternatives you would...

    4Noggins

    OMG. I can't believe the thread on 4noggins anti-gun email signature was closed/removed. That thread wasn't heated at all and it's not just about politics. It's about letting people know who their money is going to if they value our 2nd Amendment.

    What's Your Favorite Frog Morton Blend?

    I love Frog Morton Cellar(my first and only frog so far). I really want to try all of the Frog's but can only buy one tin for now. So if you could smoke only one Frog Morton blend which would it be and why? Thanks Edit: P.S. That Frog Morton Cellar is what get me to start liking English/Balkan...

    Help With Virginia's and VaPer's

    Ok so a little background info first. I first smoked a pipe about 26 years ago due to a family friend smoking a pipe and I loved the smell of his aromatics. My first time lighting up I was a bit shocked to find that it didn't taste the way it smelled. I picked up pipe smoking off and on over the...

    Jack Lee Blends aka pipeinhand

    Ok so end of last week I placed an order with our good friend here pipeinhand and I can't believe I have it already today. I opened the package and it smells amazing. I ordered a sample of all his blends. I can't wait to get home and try them all but where do I start? I've got a little of...

    So I decided to pull the plug on buying some tins of Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake and can't seem to find it at any of the usual websites such as spc, p&c, cupojoes etc. Has anyone found it available at any other online retailer? Thanks

    Aromatic Flake Recommendations

    So I'm very curious about flake type tobacco's. I went and purchased Escudo and it's pretty good (I know not an aro) however I'm curious if anyone could recommend an aromatic flake. I was thinking of trying Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake. I think sometime I may have to also try GH's rum flake...

    Hearth & Home Classic Burley Kake vs Frog Morton's Cellar

    Ok folks. I'm looking to trying some new tobacco's. I'm curious about both Hearth and Homes's Classic Burley Kake as well as Frog Morton's Cellar. They both sound fantastic to me and eventually I will buy both however I would like to get some opinions if you could only buy one which would you...

    Pipe maker underground near Rockefeller Center NYC

    8 or 9 years ago while exploring the various walkways and connections underground near Rockefeller Center I had found a pipe maker. He appeared to sell mostly his own creations. I don't remember him having any other brands available. Anyway I had bought a pipe from him for my brother. I went...

    Am I a hypocrite to my child?

    Ok so I have a 12 year old son that I've tried to teach that smoking is bad for you. I don't smoke cigarettes but I do smoke pipes and cigars. However the frequency of my smoking is very infrequent. It was maybe a bowl or 2 a week or less and maybe 1 cigar every month or 2. I would prefer if my...
