    Antique Find 1916 Barling Special NYMPH

    Recently saw this pipe at a local Antique shop. Can you give me your thoughts on it. Looks like a 1916 Barling Special NYMPH shape. What do you think its worth and is it worth getting, not only as a collectors piece, but to smoke. They want $280 for it. Thanks -TimPiper :sher:

    Better (or Worse) Than Expected Blends.

    Macbaren HH Latakia Flake smells and tastes like olives to me. It tastes really odd and that taste was unexpected. Sir Walter Raleigh aromatic has hardly any flavour for me, like hot air. I get a similar experience with 1Q, great aroma no taste. However Both half and half and sail green taste...

    Pipe Smoking Impressions from Netflix's The Crown

    I also watched this scene with interest and wondered if this was fact or creative/artistic license. Its important to note that in season three there are many pipes and pipe smokers besides prime minister Harold Wilson, especially when he is discussing politics around the table with others. Also...

    That addictive sour oriental herbal sage taste

    At moment I'm really enjoying that addictive sour oriental herbal sage taste in Oriental Latakia blends. Bengal Slices, Plum pudding, Crown achievement, Balkan blue all have that delicious taste. Can anyone suggest other blends with that taste profile? Thanks -TimPiper

    Most Underrated Tobaccos

    Don't hear much talk about these two - - Astleys #2 Virginia and Perique - Samual Gawith - Sam's flake Both have a sweet topping and are delicious. There's a certain rich sweet aged tobacco flavour that they have. I also find this rich sweet aged tobacco flavour in Macbarens old dark fired...

    A Bad Apple Buyer - Opened My Vintage Tins and Wanted a Refund from PayPal

    This is really appalling. So if I buy a $100,000 bottle of wine or champagne, break the seal and open it, then taste it and its not to my liking, then I can get a refund. no way !!! Cant even open a fresh tin of tobacco from any online retailer and return it because you didn't like it. To think...

    The Million Dollar Question???

    Whoever suggested Mixture 79 is pulling your leg lol. Its a heavily flavoured old-time OTC burley blend !!! "Quiet nights" is a good suggestion. I would also try "Gaslight" I would have a look at the blends in tobaccoreviews.com before you buy -Tim

    Help me find my Grandfathers tobacco

    It was probably an OTC blend that had the Deer Tongue herb, tonquin bean or coumarin. All these have Coumarin which imparts that fragrant unique "je ne sais quoi" taste and aroma This along with other aromas like vanilla, cherry, cocoa, coconut, liquorice, molasses, rum, fruit etc make that...

    From a Pipestud review of 30 year old Yachtsman plug. "Although not certain, I think I may have managed a full bowl before sliding off the couch onto the floor. My oldest son (twice my size) said he then carted me off to my bedroom after wiping sweat off my forehead and drool from my mouth."...

    Another fun review for five brothers - Looking for that "drugstore" blend? A blast from the past? A bit of nostalgia? Need an ass kicking? These boys will open a six pack of whoop ass like you haven't experienced in a good long while. Made up the road in Loovul, KY. I remember the old geezers...

    Here's a funny review for five brothers - My Father-in-Law smoked this stuff, so I think he was trying to get rid of me when he gave me a pouch to try. I usually smoke Prince Albert, and E.A. Carey's blends. When I opened the pouch, the aroma took over the environment. My cat hissed and arched...

    Kramer's Pipe Tobacco-new product or old?

    Do you Sykes or anyone know if the Pipeworks & Wilke blends will be tinned too. As Carole is retiring, its good opportunity to keep them alive. Could they be grandfathered too? Thanks -TimPiper
