    Jim's STG Versions of Mac Baren Blends Reviews.

    Thanks Jim. I guess I have to count my blessings that I got to try it in the first place.

    I know you can never truly replace a blend, but I just discovered MacBaren Navy Flake a year or two ago and loved it. Is there anything that's in the ballpark?

    Matches thought in one of his videos that Black Frigate came close.

    Thanks Jim for the informative and detailed reviews. All I can say is wow! How the mighty have fallen!

    Show Us Your Blatter Pipes

    Just saw your post now! Thanks for the heads up. I know them to see them and say hi, but didn't feel at ease to ask how they were doing or what was happening. I usually drop in there to buy cigars. Bought some pipe tobacco last time I was there, but even the cigar selection was getting...

    Show Us Your Blatter Pipes

    I encourage you to go. Pipes smokers here in the area are getting a bit worried. Stock is way down in the store - almost seems like they're going to be closing. No one has any news but it would be a catastrophe if they closed!

    Show Us Your Blatter Pipes

    Very nice pipe! Yes - the store is still open although things have seemed slow as of late. But Patrick's still regularly in and should be able to answer you. Let us know how it goes.

    Time To Give Up The Hobby

    Yeah, I know people in Canada who produce serious quantities of tobacco with no issues. Tobacco and alcohol in Canada have had a lot of tax for a long time. There's nothing new there. What is new for many is more and more difficulty in avoiding duty for online tobacco purchases. I've only...

    Time To Give Up The Hobby

    Where did you order from? I hope you don't get in trouble with them as well. For sure 24oz you're going to pay quite a bit. It sounds about right though for that quantity. I always do the duty calculation before I order to know what to potentially expect and to a request a refund on...

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***

    Announced 15cm of snow tomorrow! A bit early, so rushing around to get some stuff done in the yard and later the snow tires on the car. But a little break in between with some Pirate Kake in the Peterson.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***

    Got in a bowl of Scottish Cake in the Pascucci before the rain hit at lunch time. Some Pu'er tea to go with it.

    Peterson p-lip

    Good question. I haven't tried one. I'm curious on passing a pipe cleaner.

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2025?***

    Can't remember if I posted it or not - some Plum Cake in the Blatter. Is it true that Black Frigate resembles Plum Cake?

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2025?***

    Congratulations! (Just saw the post). Love that Doblone d'Oro - one of my faves!
