    A Stonhaven Alternative (sort of): JF Germain Rich Dark Flake

    I received a package from England containing St. Bruno, Condor and a couple of ounces of JF Germain Rich Dark Flake (RDF) . I had heard claims that RDF was not only similar to Stonehaven but may actually be the same tobacco. On opening the pouch (I think RFD is a bulk blend), I did get the rich...

    Stonehaven Distributed Only in the US???

    From tobaccoReviews on JF Germain Rich Dark Flake: Am I correct in interpreting this to mean that Stonehaven is distributed only in the U.S.?

    How to Buy Tobacco from UK

    I'm interested in a couple of tobaccos that are available only in Europe, e.g., JF Germain Rich Dark Flake and Condor. Where might I start? Last time I tried I spent a couple of hours screwing around with the credit card, only to be told the shop didn't sell to America. To make it worst, my bank...

    Single Leaf Pipe Tobacco

    I decided a while back to start blending tobaccos again. As part of my ongoing effort to develop a discriminating palate, the first step was to smoke the individual components by themselves, prior to mixing. I've stumbled onto another aspect of our hobby that I haven't yet read about. For my...

    Balkan Sobranie In Stock at SmokingPipes.com

    Got an in-stock email notification. Limit 2 per customer. But FYI, SP is having network problems and I had a devil of a time processing the order. Apparently, their site has been crashing regularly today.

    Starting out with pipe rehab

    So, I've read many of the backposts and guess I'm convinced I shouldn't plan on restoring stems using a variable speed dremel. I'm thinking of starting with a couple of pipes doing everything manually, then buying a 1750 speed buffer. I looked on Amazon and the closest buffer was 10" at 1725...

    Feedback on Neerup pipes?

    Neerup has some very nice shapes and finishes. I was wondering if you Neerup owners can tell us what you think of the pipes? They same to be on the large size, maybe 4 to to 5? (Or would thumb, forfinger, pinky be best way of guaging?) Nor surprisingly, they're a bit on the heavy side...

    Opinions on HH Old Vintage Syrian Tobacco

    4noggins.com is selling on HH Old Vintage Syrian Tobacco at $5.85 a tin. I haven't tried it but I do like Latakia blends like SG Luxury Navy Flake; GLP Quite Nite; Balkan Sobrainie and other Balkans. I think most of the Lats I'v smoked have Cyprian, so this would be good chance to delve into...

    Cigar Conversion Complete

    A year or so ago, I began a methodical and serious survey of tobacco blends. I am also a cigar aficionado, having smoked good cigars since I was in my twenties. I have one hand built humidor, several factory make and a cool-a-dor. In the first part of my journey, I stated that I thought cigars...

    Color Me Purple!

    Can't believe that I was missed the moment I became an official "Preferred Member" - sometimes in the last couple of hours. Where are the baloons? Where's the confetti? How come Kevin isn't sharing some of his dancing girls? The following summarizes my experience over the last year with my new...

    Size Balsa Strips Used to Substitute for 6MM Filters

    Greetings: I know that many of you make your own Savinelli filters using balsa trianangle strips from hobby stores. However, most I've seen, all on Amazon, are sold by American measurement standards, e.g., 1.4" or 3/8" - bigger than 6mm. I was wondering where you might find the right size strips...

    Cracked a Tin of 13 year old Kendal Creme

    Purchased a 13 tin from EricusRuss and got a fresh tin from SmokingPipes. Smoked about half the tin of the fresh. It was so different from my Balkans, Englishes, Vapers, etc, that I was taken aback on the first bowl. But persisence helped me appreciate the Kendal blend and I was enjoying it by...

    How long to Age Marlin Flake

    I'have a can of Marlin Flake that has been sitting for a year and was probably at least a year old when purchased from a B&M. I'm wondering what is the optimal age for these Virginians. I know that they improve indefinitely if celllared properly. But as with most things, there is a point of...
