    Stogies Billings MT

    I really have to give it to this place for knowing their audience I'm leaving a Google link as it shows in the pics a line of Esoterica tins as it's only references to pipe tobacco. As the saying goes a picture says 1000 words I didn't have to bother calling and asking if they had "premium...

    Picayune

    A very generous forum member sent me what looks to be at least 3 oz of the stuff. Thank you sooooo much I've been trying to get my hands on some for about a year with a few false starts.

    Best Cut/Blend Family For Large Conical Bowls

    I have A Savinelli 316 EX and I was wondering about opinions on what goes best with a bowl this size and shape. I have heard that Englishes are great in wide bowls but I have noticed that when smoking some of my favorites the other tobaccos are lost and the Latakia takes over completely all the...

    Barling Garnet (1812)

    While attending a retrospective art show of a friend we lost 5 years ago now in SC I hit up a few local B&M's. I found a 5-year-old Orlik DSK, But this tin of Barling Garnet (1812) got my attention with the mention of Syrian Latakia and no sign of date except the AOL contact info. It hasn't...

    The Pipe : Baudelaire

    I am the pipe of an author; One sees by my color, Abyssinian or Kaffir, That my master's a great smoker.

    I went and visited Richard at the Gatlinburlier in the strange tourist strip that is Gatlinburg. He had some vintage tins in a special case. I picked up a 2012 McClelland Arcadia mixture for a reasonable price. He alluded to a friend's recent passing and that he was selling off his cellar for...

All my beloved blends tasted way off or like nothing at all. When we finally sold our house and went on a 6-week road trip to look around the SE US I decided...
