    A Few Questions Regarding Clay Pipes and Cleaning Them

    Okay I have a few perhaps absolutely stupid questions about my clay pipes. I've had some for years but recently I've been smoking them a great deal more than my usual practice of merely using them to sample tobaccos (having found a couple larger bowled varieties). Over all they have the driest...

    Amphora Kentucky Blend & Amphora Original

    It has been a minute since I have posted a review. I've been mostly kept busy at work so I haven't had time to post but that may be changing soon. Anyway I'll be reviewing Amphora Kentucky Blend which is burley heavy and has a nice nutty and slightly smoky flavor to it. I rather like this...

    Amphora Special Reserve Black Cavendish

    I think I've put this one off long enough. As I've reviewed other Amphora tobaccos (with mixed results) I bought the sampler pack and decided to try them all to see if my opinions of them have changed since I last smoked any Amphora some 20+ years ago. So far I've reviewed the English Blend...

    Missouri Meerschaum American Pride Pipe Tobacco

    I must say that I was surprised that my favorite pipe company also put their name on a few blends of pipe tobacco. Upon seeing it I knew I HAD to try them, in a cob of course (though they taste okay in briar too). This blend is American Patriot, it is classed as an "American English". I'm not...

    Amphora Full Aroma: an Aromatic Blend

    And so I continue my Amphora series. Amphora Full Aroma is an aromatic blend produced by Mac Baren, and is obviously part of the Amphora family (See my reviews of the English, Burley and Virginia blends--and there are upcoming reviews for this family). Like the other Amphora blends (except the...

    Amphora Burley Blend

    Since I've reviewed their English Blend and their Virginia Blend, it is now time to turn our attention to Amphora Burley Blend. Like the English and the Virginia blends I picked these up at my local tobacconist though I have since found much more reasonably priced online options. According to...

    Amphora Virginia Blend

    Well I'm back at it again. Having reviewed Amphora English Blend, which after some drying has become a pretty common smoke for me, I'm going back to the Amphora well. Like the English Blend I picked it up on an impulse at my local B&M though I can get a better price online. Cut is supposedly...

    Amphora English Blend

    This may be a newer blend. I remember Amphora from years ago, it was an OTC aromatic that I could find in most grocery and drug stores down here in Florida. I tried it back then and didn't really care for it so my expectations were somewhat low when I saw a pouch of this at my local B&M. I...
