    Collectors Series and Sets

    For those of us obsessed with collecting (gotta catch em all)... What are some more series and sets of Tobacco and Pipes that are somewhat easily acquired ? Off the top of my head (and I'm in the middle of collecting them) Tobacco's "The old ones" series by C&D though I can not bring my...

    Indiscernible Blends…?

    Was recently seeking out Wessex Burley Slice and while watching a YT review the Reviewer said that it was the same blend as Solani Aged Burly Flake. Digging further I found a “vs” vid where the reviewer revealed they were both produced in Germany by Kolhase&Kopp. Both of these blends seem to be...

    Other Cigar Brands That Also Produce Quality Pipe Tobacco?

    I have a meeting tomorrow with a Cigar shop owner Who‘s looking to expand into pipes and tobacco. I have noticed that at a few of the fancier cigar joints they only carry Ashton and Davidoff Pipe Tobacco. I’m Wondering if this might be just out of convenience as they can easily just throw in...

    Pipe of the year, Arbitrary ?

    What makes a pipe ,pipe of the year ? Who decides? A quick google offers nothing definitive just this and that pipe of the year. Might be an interesting way to get birth year pipes other than Dunhills. Anybody who has already looked into this I’d be grateful for more info…

    John Cotton’s Dbl Pressed Burley , Dry?

    So with my search for a more readily available premium Burley I happened upon this. Though I find it OK , I’m wondering did I get a bad tin or does it always come this dry ? It crumbles a bit too easily and though I like 5 bros and Semois this seems like it would have more flavor if it were a...

    Chacom Tobacco?

    As we have traveled through the American south I have noticed Chacom as a B&M staple next to Peterson, C&D, GLP,Macbarren,Rattray’s. I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere as being sought after am I missing something?

    C&D Oriental Silk

    It might be post Covid/ post freight training VA, but I can barely taste the Orientals but I get a ton of Perique, would anyone call this an OrPer? Is my palate just way off ? Though I must admit I was getting hints of a very green tea taste toward the end of my first bowl and the mouthfeel...

    Dunhill I Believe The Hype

    I just received my birth year pipe a 1973 Shell Billiard. Besides a no name Italian estate Dublin all my other pipes were new mid level Sav‘s and Pete’s and a few Rossi and Ropp. I loaded it with some GH brown twist and I must admit there really was something special there , not just in...

    Presbyterian Mixture Question

    So having recently acquired a big ol bag of Sutliff TS-24 and loving it , it seems the Orientals just by themselves taste a lot like Presby obviously minus the Lat, but there is also a certain mustiness missing. What tobacco components generate mustiness?

    SG Commonwealth = Creamy

    Often I’ve read that a tobacco is creamy but I had only glimpses of it with Pirate Kake and a few different Balkan’s the Pirate Kake being way too much of a Lat Bomb. Yesterday however I smoked some Samuel Gawith Commonwealth and I experienced what seemed like a 5 course meal from char lite...

    Covid /Palate Fatigue/Palate Cleansing

    Whenever I get into a new hobby I go all in. One of my first purchases after buying a cheap pipe and some Captain Blacks was the book Pipesmoking: a 21st century guide. Something that I do not remember reading about in it was Palate Fatigue or what to do about it. I might have glossed over it...

    Ultimate Ghost Smoke?

    Similar to the recent Happy Accidents thread Today I popped a new tin of Old Joe Krantz and smoked it in a young ( little to no cake) Rossi Lumberman he usually gets 5 brothers all day every three days and I had a very nice session. A few hours later after some Semois cigarillos, some Father...
