    What Are You Smoking, October 2022?

    I'd like to be smoking an unevenly thick, dark flake of some FVF I jarred up back in 2010, but the jar is in any one of a couple dozen boxes. Sounds like a weekend project...

    The One Smoke Gentlemen

    Yeah, I doubt there would be the same attraction to this notion if you changed the description from "one smoke gentleman" to " 1-blend dumbass"

    Latakia, Oriental, Help.

    Pipers far and wide give good reviews of Balkan Supreme, if you want to try a widely appreciated one. It is an inexpensive bulk blend listed under the brand Arango. I also like C&D's Super Balkan- also in bulk. It is more of a medium blend than the "super" in the name implies. Also, you might...

    Red Raparee

    I would describe it this way. It has latakia?

    Favorite Dan Tobacco Blend?

    The only one I've liked enough to buy more of was ole' Hamburger Beermustard

    PS Bullseye Flake. What a Difference a Year Makes.

    What they ^ all said. Do yourself a favor and buy some to stash away. Write on the jars: DO NOT OPEN UNTIL 2030. You will be very pleased with yourself in a few years...

    Rattray's: Brown Clunee vs Old Gowrie vs Hal O' Wynd

    If you found Early Morning Pipe to be too light for your taste, you may find Highland Targe too light as well. I like it for a light bodied smoke with a distinct smokiness. I would not call it a full or rich blend. YMMV.

    Rattray's: Brown Clunee vs Old Gowrie vs Hal O' Wynd

    Same experience as others here, though I can only speak to the versions from around 2010. OG is my favorite, but HOTW is no slouch. Fortunately both were plentiful back in 2010ish and I was able to put back a good supply of each. BC is milder than both. Nothing wrong with it, just milder in all...

    ***What Are You Smoking, Sept. 2022?***

    Penhooker Silver is my favorite of the D&R virginias.

    The Strongest Blend You’ve Tried

    I forgot about that one. It packs a gut punch if you dont respect it but has plenty of flavor and chewy mouthfeel

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    Looks like lots of folks got boxes of rolled up sleeves of brown packing paper. Salute to whoever did the packing job. Mine could have been packed raw eggs and none would have cracked.

    Nicotine….

    Too bad this is no longer available, it is really very good. I've never smoked any other blend that had such a remarkable earthy black tea flavor.

    The Strongest Blend You’ve Tried

    My palms start sweating at the very mention of it... I finally did figure out how to smoke it, but for me straight was WAY too strong. Its quite good as a way to beef up milder codger burleys when added at around 25-30% of the mix.

    The Strongest Blend You’ve Tried

    Big, bold, hearty flavors, huh. I'd go with MacBaren Bold Kentucky, Samuel Gawith 1792, Peterson Irish Flake, Rattray's Stirling Flake, Arango Balkan Supreme, and GL Pease Jackknife Plug.

    what a spectacular place to puff a pipe!

    What is the next Balkan Sobranie?

    Yeah, I miss SugarBarrel. Well, not really, as I have a few jars left from my last tub, but that was one i liked to have an open tub to scoop from on the regular.

    Building Your Cellar - Things To Consider

    Get your self a couple cases of half pint/8 oz. size mason jars. They easily fit the contents of a 2 oz. tin. Then open tins and try them out with abandon. If you dont get back around to something for months, no problem- its in a sealed jar.

    Are OTC blends really OTC?

    If you can spring for it, most online retailers offer free shipping on orders at around the $100 mark.
