Cellar Building Method.
When i first started buying new (to me) blends, they quickly piled up. It wasn't long before I had a variety of tins and 2oz jarred samples of all sorts of stuff that I had yet to try. And there were loads more out there. I started deliberately opening and smoking all of my new blends. I didn't...- Architeuthis

Favorite Non-Alcoholic Drink with Virginia/ Vapers?
unsweetened, strong black tea. I only go the sweet route as an antidote if I overdo it with the nic and feel the telltale signs coming on...- Architeuthis

Let’s Talk Plug…
I know people that love it, but to me NYC is a dreadful place. Quite ironic that you got ticketed for spitting in a place that reeks like a full port-o-john on a warm day. I suppose you could stuff a bit of plug between your upper lip and gum, like swedish snuus, if you wanted a less saliva to...- Architeuthis

I Opened a Dozen Tins Today!
Gotcha. Any idea which Turkish leaf is in there? Thinking I might dabble with some of my Blockade Runner.- Architeuthis

Ropes and Twists
I've tried SG and G&H ropes. To me the easiest to smoke and best tasting of the lot was Happy Brown Bogie. It looks unimposing, being a rather thin rope, but carries a strong dose of nic, so use a small pipe or mix with something neutral if you don't have a tolerance for stout blends.- Architeuthis

Early Morning Pipe or Nightcap?
^^This, except I would say EMP is not of a lower caliber, just of a lower strength. It is a great lighter bodied and flavored English. AS for Royal Yacht, like Embers noted, it has no latakia so it is a bird of a different feather. It does have a history of being a polarizing blend. Some...- Architeuthis

What would be Your Favorite Unobtainable Unthought of Aromatic Flavors?
This is a play on the previously mentioned bacon flavor idea. But this goes a bit further off the beaten track. Some might say it goes all the way down the mountainside. Lee's Famous Recipe breaded and fried chicken livers. Mmmm, mmmm. What a great bowl that would be...- Architeuthis

Is There Anything Close to Old Gowrie?
I am a fan of Old Gowrie and stashed away a bunch in the early 20 teens. I've tried lots of stuff over the last 10 years or so but never found anything that meets your description of a bulk/more affordable version of OG. Its too bad finding it and other nice blends is such a mad scramble anymore...- Architeuthis

Tobacco Rotations
^^ This. Sometimes I smoke 4-5 bowls in a day. Lately its been the other end of the spectrum. I think I've smoked maybe half a dozen bowls in as many months. I usually smoke something I have open, unless of course some unopened tin or jar piques my interest...- Architeuthis

There’s No Bad Pipe Tobacco
Borkum Riff. Draw some long wide stripes on a piece of cardboard with a sharpie. Run it through a shredder and you've got yourself something as just as tasty.- Architeuthis

English Blends with Little to No Latakia ?
You might try some of the "Scottish" type blends as they tend to have smaller percentages of latakia in the mix. Rattray's makes a few nice ones. Jock's Mixture has just a light touch of it.- Architeuthis

C&D Super Balkan & Overcoming Latakia Fatigue
I like it. I was looking for a light english a year or so ago. I ordered small samples of lots of stuff and ended up on this one. Don't let the name scare you off. It is not "super" loaded with latakia. There is enough to smell and taste but it does not dominate. I"d put it right around the...- Architeuthis
