    Opening an Aged Tin

    Do this scientifically and record each subsequent bowl rating and share!

    Ahh finally got flake tobacco right!

    I like to lightly roll my flakes into a ball which breaks it apart a bit, and makes it a spongey little bundle which is much easier to pack. Fold, roll, gently pack. Flake is the hardest to pack because it's the easiest to over-tighten.

    Game changer smoke

    I struggled for a long time with this. Sometimes I would get a great smoke and the next time it would be just awful. I think it is mostly a question of how tightly the tobacco is packed and how you are lighting and puffing. Moisture is important mostly in flakes, where it can be waaaay too...

    Nic hit

    Could also be if you had an empty stomach, tired, etc. Also depends on the blend and your smoking speed.

    Regular Rotation?

    I just have never found anything like Skiff Mixture. It almost seems like Skiff mixture is one thing, and all other pipe tobacco is another. I don't understand why it's so unique to my mouth.

    Most Delicious Smoke With A Nasty Tin Smell?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I received a tin of Haddo's Delight as well as Sixpence. Interestingly, I LOVED the tin note of HD but found the room note to be the stinker. Tastes great. As for Sixpence, now that is a tin note of fermented fish!!! Tastes good albeit a tiny bit strong. You tried it?

    What’s The Deal With Warning Labels?

    Never mind I guess its fairly obvious, though I'd never seen anti-smokers abbreviated this way. By the way, how do I edit my damn post? lol

    What Is The Most Repellent Blend?

    Nording: Hunter Blend: Labrador I almost threw away my favorite pipe. The knowledge alone that this blend had been in it was enough to make me retch.

    Most Delicious Smoke With A Nasty Tin Smell?

    Still desperately looking for it here in Canada. It's never in stock anywhere :(

    Most Delicious Smoke With A Nasty Tin Smell?

    Never noticed this about White Knight. Isn't it a fairly run of the mill oriental-forward english?

    Most Delicious Smoke With A Nasty Tin Smell?

    Interesting how McClelland has been quoted by two of you in the present tense but they've been OOP for what, 3 years? xD

    Most Delicious Smoke With A Nasty Tin Smell?

    I usually smoke SG FVF and BB but I recently got Capstan Blue for the first time and thought it smelled of ketchup / McDonald's burgers!

    Most Delicious Smoke With A Nasty Tin Smell?

    Hi! I recently received my first pouch of Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic. The moment I put my nose in the pouch, I was convinced it was going to be disgusting. Smelled of cough syrup or some medicine from my childhood. I considered not even trying it! Well when I lit it up, it became an instant...

    DIY: Adding Floral Essences?

    Hi, As a Canadian who would love to try more Lakeland floral essence blends but cannot get most, is there any way to make our own? I've seen a few threads of people infusing whiskey or other spirits, but what about floral essences? Where would one go about acquiring that? Thanks

    G&H Kentucky Nougat Tastes Like Apricots?

    After checking tobaccoreviews, this is very possible!

    G&H Kentucky Nougat Tastes Like Apricots?

    Hey! Just received some G&H Kentucky Nougat. I love it! But it smells and tastes like apricots, nothing at all like coco / toffee / cream / nougat. I checked tobaccoreviews, and no one mentions this. Did they perhaps give me another blend accidentally? xD
