    Tobaccos Like Peterson Deluxe Navy Rolls?

    I'm sitting here enjoying a bowl of the mentioned tobacco. It probably is my favorite VaPer and Virginia, I like st Bruno but that is a VaKy and flavored. I have tried marlin flake which bites me, good flavor though, and Old Gowrie is a bit too weak for my tastes. Do you have anything to...

    Pfeifendepot Question

    I live in Sweden, which has high prices on tobacco, and as such I order tobacco from Germany whose prices are lower. I'm looking at buying from pfeifendepot right now since they have HU tobacco's. My question is: do they label the contents of the package as tobacco? Because if they do this I...

    The Cowboy and the Tamper; A short story.

    Imagine you're a lonely traveller in the snowy Wyoming hills one cold night. It was the year 1899. For 5 days I've trekked across these unforgiving lands, lodging to lodging, from cabin to cabin. It has been tough with the cold biting into my aging joints, the snow making eatch step a...

    How do you Choose What to Smoke?

    This is probably not the question for the people that have 2 and only 2 tobaccos at hand all the time, but more for the folks that have a larger amount of different tobaccos.

    Any Loss/decrease in Taste or Smell due to Pipe Smoking?

    Title edited for caps and brevity.- jpm I'm only asking this to see what everybody's experiences about this are. I have not noticed any reduction in my taste or smell during, my admittedly short period of pipe smoking. I'm not the overly health concerned type, but dulling my sense of smell...

    Taming a Bitey Beast?

    I recently bought a can of Marlin Flake, as it was supposed to be like Old Gowrie but "darker". I severely like Old Gowrie, but MF is horrible right now. To quote Johnny Cash, "It kicked like a mule and bit me like a crocodile". For the first time in my limited pipe smoking life, I experienced...

    Accidentally Bought the Wrong Blend

    I was supposed to buy Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia but managed to buy Mac Baren Virginia Flake instead. According to some forums and tobacco reviews it's pretty bad. So just gonna cellar it to see how it gets. Do you know what to expect from this blend?

    Help Me Decide What to Smoke

    I'm kind of a beginner. And I have 3 blends at hand: (My favorite) Old dublin, Rattray's 7 reserve (which I have not smoked more than once) and Old Gowrie. I'm not really feeling for a VA right now, but I can't decide between OD or 7R. Help :)
