    Blends Similar to Capstan Blue?

    So after 7 years of casual pipe smoking, I really got the hang of it this summer and smoked mainly my pipes instead of cigars. I really fell for some aged Capstan blue and Dunhill deluxe navy rolls. Now that I know I like Capstan as a pure Va blend, I’m now looking for similar as good blends to...

    Aging tobacco in the basement

    So the title says it all. We recently bought a 1950 bungalow and I now have a nice office in the basement. I have all my tins and jars in a wood cabinet. The only thing is that like any old basement, it's cold and humidity is kind of high. Is there any problems for long term storing? If so, is...

    Getting into straight Virginias

    I've been getting into straight lighter Va recently and liking it, but it seems to me that I can smoke a blend like 2-3 times and have great experience and smoke another bowl after and it sucks and taste like ash. I really like HU sunset and Brigham Klondike gold so I bought a couple of tins...

    Refbjerg and Royal Danish Pipe Value?

    I got 2 pipes that I may want to sell but I'm unsure of their price value. I did some research and I have no idea about the Refbjerg except that he got a nice reputation and that the pipe is handmade.It got a really big bowl and burns really cool. I think I have a better idea about the Royal...

    My New Blatter Select Pipe!

    Since my last Blatter pipe smoked so good and after checking the pipe on their website for weeks, I decided I had to go see it. When I saw it I had to buy it! The pictures does not show it enough but the thickness of the briar is insane! Since I'm not the best photographer and I urge everyone to...

    Favorite after dinner virginia blends

    So what are your favorite after dinner Va blends? It seems I don't know what to smoke tonight and it made me wonder. I usually like a stronger blend at night. I like ODF or stonehaven (more on the burley side) but want to try other things. Does Blackwoods flake a good night choice? I also got...

    Pipe smoking characteristics and dedication

    So the 2 pipes I smoked the most are a Tinsky christmas pipe 2012 (bent rhodesian) and a Blatter hand made I just bought ( bent eggish). Not sure both have been break in because I don't know what it feels like. I smoked the Blatter about 30 times and the Tinsky probably near 80 times but I...

    Pipe cake not dry

    So I've been using my Tinsky pipe for a while now and had to ream my bowl 2-3 times already. What's concerning me is that since the beginning the cake always looked oily/wet and it seems really fragile. Some pieces of cake always break at some point. I smoke the pipe like once a week and only...

    Opening, splitting and jarring 100gr tins

    So since I'm more of a once or twice a week smoker opening a whole 100gr tin is way too much. I have a couple of unopened tins waiting to be tried. Now I'm wondering if I should open, split in 2 jars any 100gr tins as soon as I'm receiving them or should I let it age in the original tin, until...

I tried a lot of stuff from ODF to Reiner LGF, and enjoyed a lot of those but can't find something that I like as much. What I like about Silver flake and that I would want...
