    One Tobacco To Rule Them All

    Right now my answer would probably be Dunhill/Peterson Flake. It seems to be the most balanced and most satisfying Virginia blend I have smoked.

    Look at this Beauty I Just Received.

    Already had 2 bowls in it, first bowl was Wessex Gold Slice and it definitely had that new meerschaum chalky kind of taste.....second bowl was Peterson Flake and it wasn't too chalky....I would think by bowl 5 it will be good to go. The other 2 Medico meerschaums I own only needed a couple bowls...

    Look at this Beauty I Just Received.

    I doubt its real block meerschaum for that price. I would not judge a meerschaum as a whole by how the one you received smokes.

    Look at this Beauty I Just Received.

    Is it new or an estate? $15 with shipping definitely seems sketchy....

    Look at this Beauty I Just Received.

    I have 2 other Medico meerschaums with black stems....They are definitely block meerschaum...but I don't think it's from Turkey because it seems heavier and doesn't color as fast as the Turkish meerschaums I own.....some folks have said it's African meerschaum, but I have no idea. They smoke...

    Look at this Beauty I Just Received.

    Got this beautiful, brand new, Medico Block Meerschaum from eBay. I did not know they made Meerschaums with yellow colored stems. I thought they only made them with black stems. Based on the brochure that came with the pipe; this pipe is from the 1970's....I did not know they made Block...

    McConnell Red Virginia

    I smoked a tin of this and I definitely did sense a chocolate or cocoa note when puffed slowly. This blend did tend to bite me quite a bit. I did enjoy the tin, but I probably will never purchase another.

    Cob Love…Yes Please! ? 11/30/21

    I want one of these Merrick's so bad, but they are sold out. MM told me they are awaiting a shipment of stems and then they will be back in stock.

    My Mixture 965- a Review

    965 is one of the only blends with Latakia that I keep around when I need to scratch the English/Balkan itch.....but it's not very often though.

    Mac Baren's Vanilla Roll Cake, Worth a Buy?

    One of the better aromatic blends I have smoked. The topping does not go overboard and you can really taste the tobacco.

    Bud of Steel Pipe

    Received the Bud of Steel pipe yesterday and smoked my first bowl of something I am very familiar with in it, Orlik Golden Sliced. Flavor was top notch, comparable to my favorite meerschaums. It smokes amazingly well and extremely cool. Feels good in the hand and while clenching. While I am...
