    Fake St. Bruno is About!

    No harm was meant at all, I was actually trying to do Simong a favour. I even had a relative carry the tobacco to the UK for him so there would be no import fees for him.

    Fake St. Bruno is About!

    This is my thought exactly. St Bruno is cheaper here than nearly anywhere in the world, and the number of pipe smokers in our population can be counted on one hand. It is likely that this St Bruno is simply distributed for a different market rather than being counterfeit. It would not make sense...

    Fake St. Bruno is About!

    I would advise anyone reading this to take it with a pinch of salt. I am the user who sent Simong the St Bruno. Simon claims that he emailed Mac Baren and that they told him the tobacco was fake. Simon then tried to extort me for 160£ (nearly 200) with the threat of legal action and naming and...

    Watch City Glass Slipper in a 90s Nording. This stuff is very strange indeed.

    UK: ‘The Aim in the Long Run Is Prohibition.’

    In philosophy we call this new regime "biopolitics" or "biopower." Michel Foucault had a good grasp on what was coming when he was writing in the 1970s: "A power that exerts a positive influence on life, that endeavours to administer, optimize, and multiply it, subjecting it to precise controls...

    Dishonorable Mentions

    C&D Baileys Front Porch is the only blend I've ever thrown away, and I'm a big burley guy. Didn't pass it on, sell it, gift it etc, just straight in the trash.

    Watch City Cigar's Flake #558

    Absolutely love this stuff. Great review.

    Are Dunhill pipes today as good as they used to be?

    I'd agree with the comments that there are duds in every batch and that if an old dunhill has survived this long, its generally a good sign. 60s dunhills and earlier often had that wonderful craggy sandblasting, which would later feature in Bill Taylor's Ashton pipes. Very tactile, wonderful to...

    Burley Blends for Those Who Dislike Burley

    Have you tried Peterson's Perfect Plug? It's quite strong nicotine-wise but the burley leaf they use is absolutely fantastic. It's very rich and flavourful and is not at all like cigarette tobacco. The other burley I highly recommend is HU Makhuwa. To my mind It's the best burley blend around at...

    Cobblestone Outdoors: Hiking

    Have you tried Hiking? It is worlds apart from something like Mac Baren Burley blend, which is drenched in sweet chocolate flavouring. Hiking obviously will be cased with something, for humectant purposes at the very least, but I did not detect much of a sweetness in the smoke at all. Whatever...

    Cobblestone Outdoors: Hiking

    From what I've seen on video reviews the Cobblestone Plugs aren't really plugs, despite being called plugs. They're more like desely pressed crumble cakes.

    Cobblestone Outdoors: Hiking

    I am a burleyphile, meaning that, while I am fond of other blend types - such as VaPers - burley blends are my go-to smoke. If I would like a pipe, but do not have a clear idea of what I would like to smoke, I will smoke a burley blend. While some tobaccos are better suited to certain seasons or...

    Jim's SPC Give Me Liberty Review.

    Hi Jim. Thanks for the review. I love red virginias and I'm looking forward to this blend. Could you elaborate on what lost this blend that fourth star?
