    My First Cob

    Tordenskjold Virginia Slices

    I decided to have another bowl this morning with my coffee. When I unscrewed the lid of the mason jar and took a whiff I did notice a chocolate note. I did not smell the chocolate note when I first opened the tin. I was surprised to find the the Play-Doh taste was almost unnoticeable to me...

    Tordenskjold Virginia Slices

    You reminded me about John Aylesbury Luxury Flake; I've always wanted to try it and usually its sold out. I found some at WCC, I ordered a tin. I also ordered a tin of Hamborger Veermaster because I want to try that blend now too.

    Tordenskjold Virginia Slices

    It might just be my taste buds and it also might be because I smoked it fresh out of the tin. I am going to let it rest in a mason jar; I'll try it in 3 days, a week, two week etc. and see what I think of it.

    Tordenskjold Virginia Slices

    The Mallard is quite good....I can't think of what to compare to at this second. It's a nice, rich Virginia that is is slightly on the dark side. It's extremely smooth too.

    Tordenskjold Virginia Slices

    I also have a tin of The Mallard to try here in a bit. It will be another first time smoking it experience for me.

    Tordenskjold Virginia Slices

    It's a Virginia Flake with a touch of Perique. No idea on the flavoring.

    Tordenskjold Virginia Slices

    First off, let me say this is my first time trying this blend. I just received it in the mail and popped open a new tin of Dan Tobacco's Tordenskjold Virginia Slices. The tin note smelled wonderful and the tobacco was IMO at the perfect level of humidity to begin smoking. I packed my first...

    What Was your First Pipe?

    My first pipe was a meerschaum lined La Rocca bent billiard I acquired from purchasing an abandoned storage unit that belonged to a relative of my girlfriend. I still smoke it occasionally when I get a hankering for English/Balkan blends.

    Holder for Pipe Cleaners

    I keep a few bundles standing up in a mason jar. My overstock I just keep in a closet on a shelf.

    The Other Pipers

    Indeed... I am a huge fan of On Cinema At The Cinema....that's probably my favorite of all the series they have made.

    Difference Between Haunted Bookshop, OJK and Night Train?

    I would say OJK has more Virginia flavor and just a tad more Perique compared to HB. Night Train definitely has more of a Virginia taste compared to both and it has more of a bright Virginia taste compared to the other two. It seems like there is more Perique in Night Train compared with OJK...

    Missouri Meerschaums vs. Everything Else

    I wasn't referring to anything about draw. I was saying it more for flavor of the tobacco. Maybe he is like me and just can't get solid, pure flavor from a briar pipe of any kind. I only enjoy smoking meerschaum or corn cob pipes. Every time I smoke one of my briars I feel like the flavor of...
