    White Ash Mid Smoke?

    Hmmm like Cosmic said, it truly depends on the blend. For me Lakelands almost all the time need a mid to 3/4 of a bowl ash dumping, otherwise I find that I need to keep relighting it, even more so available for lakeland flakes. Other than that, I may dump some ash during a smoke if the bowl is...

    What's Up with Peterson Blends

    I appreciate the info, I may give them a go. I must check what's up with tobacco and this whole brexit regulations b/s first.

    What's Up with Peterson Blends

    Yeah that location thing .. I must get around updating it. No, I live in the EU, Romania to be more precise. We had a few sellers importing Peterson over here, and the out of stock situation has been going throughout the year. Last year you could get some old inventory, but it seems that they...

    The Neck Ties that Bind Us

    That's me on my wedding day, about 8 years ago (I know I know, I was young and handsome :P ) .. while I have worn that black smoking to other events, I must admit I have never had a chance since to wear the French tie and the vest on any other occasion. I remember the days about 10-12 years ago...

    What's Up with Peterson Blends

    I have been looking for some to buy online, in local stores, and I could hardly find anything but leftovers. I haven't had a Sherlock Holmes in two years, not to mention that the Irish Oak is another thing of the past. I recall reading something about these two being discontinued, and then there...

    What is an American Blend

    Like the tile mentions, what on earth is it? I have been lurking on tobaccoreviews.com for quite a while now, and this is the first time I got across this classification. It is in relation to a Savinelli blend (see the link below). In spite of the fact that it's called English Mixture, the site...

    Thinking Out Loud ?Best Type Of Pipe For Aromatic

    They say deep bowls are best for aromatics. Like phil said, I keep a few briars dedicated for aromatics, not all of them large, deep bowls. I just tried a few shapes and sizes and decided what worked best for me. I use a half bent bulldog, deeper than wider bowl, a halv bent billiard with a...

    Are Reviews On Websites Worth Anything

    There are sites, though, that specialize in consumer reviews. Some are reputable, others less so. I for one do take them into consideration when purchasing something, the more expensive the more I look in various sources for reviews.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2020?***

    Some black house in a Dunhill bulldog, filterless - a rare choice for me :D

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2020?***

    Pulled out the old Stanwell Zebrano from the shelf, and filled her with a bowl of Rat Ray's Hal'O Thy Wynd ... magnificent blend.

    Microwave Or Air Dry

    I'm an air dry guy myself ... I don't like microwave much, not even for heating food.

    Any Thoughts on the Current Crop of GBD's from England?

    I did own a GDB Bulldog once, it was gifted to me by ashdigger ... I loved that shape, although in my smoking style it condensed a lot. It felt perfect in my hand, it smoked well aside the moisture issue. I ended up gifting it to a friend that is a HUGE GBD collector, that owned its "sister"...

    Anyone With Experience With A GTP?

    I don' know this brand. Is it bryar? It looks interesting, but I am not sure it's the pipe that gives you less bite. It may be that the tobacco is drier than you last smoked it? Or perhaps you got better at it, you are pacing yourself better ?

    Calling Out Dunhill Fans - What Would be a Fair Price

    Well .. I pulled the trigger. EUR 200 for both the pipe and the tamper. I feel like I got a good deal, and my pal was happy about it also. It smokes like a charm !

    Trying to Get Help with a Russian Blend

    Here are 4 Russian pipe blends from another source. It seems that this A.G. Rutetenberg brand is the most prolific over there in as far as pipe tobacco...

    Calling Out Dunhill Fans - What Would be a Fair Price

    A buddy of mine offered to sell me the pipe and tamper in the pic. While we did manage to agree that the Dunhill Tamper would be fairly priced at EUR 50 (which I am not yet sure I am willing to pay for a darn tamper), I am quite interested in the pipe. Ebay prices range so much, and my knoledge...

    Trying to Get Help with a Russian Blend

    agreed, but still tobacco is far more affordable than in the EU. In comparison to the prices we are used to in Romania, one could live like a king in Moldova with an above average Romanian salary. Unfortunately the country is still pretty poor, and the signs of the old soviet dominion are still...
