    Good London Tobacconsists

    I only visited two J.j Fox and Dunhill. Davidoff was in the same area but they were closed when I went. Fox - 19 St James's Street Dunhill - 1a St James's Street

    Tell Me Your Thoughts on Boswell's Northwoods

    It is supposed to be close to FMC but I don't see it. I think the Latakia is more forward and there is no bourbon note to it. I liked it but to me it was closer to Balkan Sasieni then Frog.

    Crumble Cake or Double Pressed?

    It falls apart easily and comes on the dry side.

    Difficulty with SPC Plum Pudding?

    I live in AZ and just smoked a bowl of PP Reserve yesterday. No issues except it was extremely windy yesterday. Like Neal and Hoosier suggest try a different pipe. If you are still having problems I would say its a packing issue. Not sure if you are aware but the AZ Pipe Club is meeting...

    Surprise from P&C (Dunhill Nightcap)

    $7.00 a tin for the sampler. BlackHouse is good stuff. I'm in.

    Savinelli 320 ks

    I love the pipe. I have two. It has a big bowl that holds a lot of tobacco.

    Tobacco Review Scores On Average

    I look at both. If a review is getting a 2 on the rating I'm probably not going to try it. If it has a higher rating I will read reviews and make a decision then. Usually I'm looking up a blend because of a recommendation from someone or a special going on. I have a notebook on all the...

    Happy 4th of July!

    Thanks. I won’t take Friday off. It’s a real casual leave work early day. Don’t usually burn a vacation day for days like that.

    Going deep...

    For me in my world I think my cellar is wide, so I may not go as deep. I have about 300 blends opened and jarred. I have about 50 that I go deep on. Deep for me is 50 - 50gr tins or about 6 to 10 pounds of bulk. For my 300 blends some are one tin and others could be 20 or more. I have blends I...

    Help Me Choose An English/Balkan Bulk

    I have smoked all three of those. The only one I cellar from that group is Arango Balkan Supreme. They are all good blends but for me the Arango stands out.

    Cellar Ratio Comparison

    I'm curious how everyone's cellar is stocked. I did a quick count and I was surprised to find I had less aromatics than I thought. Using general classifications mine is: English/Balkan 50% VA/PER 40% Aromatics 10% I thought I smoked and cellared more aromatics than that.

    Sutliff Match Early Morning Pipe

    I think it's close but not the same. I didn't care for the Match. If you enjoy the Match that's great, stick with that. I was in London last month and Dunhill still had EMP, I picked up a few more tins. Paying extra for EMP from the scalpers doesn't work for me. I don't like it enough to chase...
