    Seeking Help Creating Picayune Clone

    Title says it's all, I want to take a stab at making a clone of Picayune. I love this blend and I'm running out, and it's discontinued, etc. Says it has dark air cured, Perique, Samsun and gold VAs. I have all of these tobaccos in whole leaf form, shredded into ribbon and uncased (I have...

    A Question On Types of Burley

    Rougaroux came in today, so opulent and lovely. Can't wait to get some Simply Red, which will round out my Virginia collection for my daytime smokes. I've been missing the particular feeling of Burley nicotine, however, so I enjoyed a bowl of C&D Burley Ribbon and it hit that specific "spot" in...

    Ordered My Rougaroux

    Just placed my order, 8oz. Looking forward to this VaPer, and their Simply Red when it comes out too. Like many, I'm looking for a good Red Va now that Sutliff is no more. Anyone else order right as the gates opened?

    Seeking VaBur Recommendations

    Thanks for the help narrowing down VaPers and VAs everyone, I appreciate it. Edisto is decent, sipping my way through the rest of the tin. Realized that what I really want is a VaPer, one with just the right amount of perique for my own tastes. Tried Bayou Morning Flake and it has a bit too much...

    Just Discovered MacBaren Scottish Mixture

    Wow is this fantastic. So different than what I usually smoke, this is what I always imagined the quintessential "pipe tobacco" to be like before I took up the pipe. Burn characteristics are supreme, a merry-go-round of flavors as to be expected by the description, and best of all it's a blend...

    Edisto

    For those who have smoked Edisto, what's your opinion on it?

    Seeking VaPers With Red Virginia

    TL;DR at the bottom... Here I am again guys. Thanks everyone for indulging my last post Seeking Red Virginias. Several folks mentioned that what I was looking for would be tough to come by and that I should not confine myself to strictly Red Virginia, and you are right. I appreciate everyone...

    Seeking Straight Red Virginia Flakes & Ribbons Only

    Thanks to you fine folks, I have refined my question from a day or two ago on Swanky Virginias. I decided to order some Edisto and give that a shot. In the meantime, I am seeking specifically other straight red virginia flakes or other cuts. No blends. No bright Virginia, no Perique, no...

    Seeking Swanky VaPer Suggestions

    Jokes aside, I have a bit of extra moolah and I want to try a really nice VaPer, like top shelf... Any suggestions?

    Daughters and Ryan

    D&R have always been a favorite, stocked up on my favorite blends back in 2021, though I wish I would have bought more Picayune... In any case, I thought about seeing if there were any D&R blends for sale second hand and discovered that Pipes and Cigars were still selling some of their...

    Seeking Rimboche Alternative

    Looking for an alternative to Rimboche - a dry VA or VaPer. I just love the way it smokes and I only have half a pound left.

    Same Class as Carolina Red Flake w/Perique

    I'm almost through with my last tin of the 2021 year and it's glorious, to say the least. Looking for suggestions on another VaPer that is in the same class/quality.

    How Do I "Chew/Dip" Cotton Boll?

    For some reason, all tobacco tastes like shit right now. Like horrible, burnt pencil shavings steeped in shit overnight. I'm pretty pissed. Going through a stressful time and just want to enjoy my pipe, but I just can't. I've tried three bowls in a row and it's definitely my body chemistry right...

    Florida Gainesville/Ocala Area Pipe Meet

    Anyone in the area want to get together for a smoke? I'm still looking for a gathering place, but I wanted to see if anyone lives in this area first. Anyone live around or near Gainesville/Ocala Florida??

    Tax Increase Is BACK On The Bill...

    Props to @lawdawg and @briarbuck for pointing this out. Let the cellaring games begin. https://cei.org/news_releases/ill-advised-nicotine-tax-thrown-back-into-democrats-build-back-better-bill/

    Tax Increase Removed From Bill!

    Shout-out and all credit to @Worknman for finding this and posting it on the "2100% tax" thread I started awhile back, but I figured I would start thread another to catch people's eye and spread the word. As the article states, were not out of the woods yet, but hopefully this sticks...

    C&D CRFw/P Jar Time

    I bought 2 tins, one to age and the other to smoke as soon as it's ready... So how long should I leave it to breathe in the jar before smoking it? I am not as experienced with VaPers. I know I could smoke it occasionally to find out myself but I wanted to ask you fine people and waste less bowls...

    Need Nicotine Strong Bulk Blends

    Title says it all. I already have 2 lbs of OJK, looking for bulk options that are very strong nicotine wise. I'd like to keep it as close to cheap as possible, but it doesn't have to be $38 /lb cheap, ya know? I'm willing to pay a bit more. My experiments with wild tobacco have been dismal, it's...

    Where To Find Vintage Capstan Blue

    Don't laugh. Okay, go ahead and laugh... Where on earth could I possibly find some Capstan Blue that's a couple decades old? Tall order I'm sure, but I would love to have some. As old as possible.

    Difference Between VA & Burley Nicotine Effects

    Has anyone noticed a difference between the quality of the nic hit between Virginia and Burley? Besides strength - I'm talking about the quality/nature of the buzz. I know some people say alcohol is alcohol, but I drank for many years and there is absolutely a difference between the buzz you...
