    Which no longer produced tobacco blend do you or will you miss the most?

    With so many blends not being produced, which ones do you miss the most. For me it is Edgeworth Ready Rubbed and Hines Mixture. I still have a few ounces of Hines Mixture and probably 12 oz. of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match. Unfortunately, once they are smoked there is no more stocking up.

    Fischer pipes

    I just purchased two Fischer pipes on Ebay from the estate of the Buffalo, NY shop. My only source of information about them is from Pipedia. Do any forum members own any Fischer pipes and what do you think of them?

    Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people

    I am not one for conspiracy theories but let us consider this. Not too long ago nobody cared if you smoked. The government was happy collecting the taxes on it and the medical profession was content on the occasional lung cancer patient. The medical profession never told us that 80 to 90% of...

    New Royal Comfort observations

    I don't care much for tobacco reviews, because what one person likes, another hates and vice versa. Since I had enjoyed the original Royal Comfort and I smoke Milan's Royal Comfort on a regular basis, I thought I would give the Arango Cigar Co. version a try. I smoked many bowls in several pipes...

    Smokin-G tobacco

    The other day I went into a smoke shop to pick up some pipe cleaners and on the shelves were bags of Smokin-G pipe tobacco, 8 oz. bags for $9.50. I figured it was a RYO tobacco, but figured what the hell, it was cheap enough to risk it. It was a Virginia blend and ribbon cut. While I like...

    Grandpa's ash tray

    Last week I visited my brother and while there I picked up Grandpa's ash tray. My brother doesn't smoke and it didn't mean anything to him. I wanted it because it connected me to my Grandfather who died in 1967. I remember him sitting in his chair with that ash trash and a container of matches...

    I couldn't help myself

    The other day I was enjoying a bowl of Match Field and Stream. It is one of my favorite Codger and Match blends, which I have an abundant supply. I sat there and thought "Do I really have enough of this stuff." If I die at 135, I have enough of this stuff, but I went online to SP to see if there...

    Rivertown Tobacco Works

    For those that have not tried the Rivertown Tobacco Works bulk blends, they currently have a 20% sale at Smokingpipes.com. I have not tried any of the Cornell and Diehl bulk examples of their major blends, so I purchased some Crimson Shadow and Oak and Ember to sample. The prices are very...

    Your best packing tobacco

    I was enjoying a pipe full of possibly 1950's Brown and Williamson Sir Walter Raleigh made in Louisville, Kentucky that I managed to get about 5 years ago from some people who bought property and in one of the sheds, on a stud was a tub of unopened Sir Walter Raleigh. I offered them a reasonable...

    Let's Discuss this Forum

    I have noticed recently some complaints about people's reactions and comments concerning certain topics. A forum is made for exactly that purpose. Those individuals have the forum to discuss their concerns and opinions. Do you have to agree with them -No. You have that right in a forum. The...

    Thank you to Sutliff

    The main topic of conversation in the pipe community is the closing of the Sutliff factory. We have moaned and groaned, but now it is time to pull up our big boy pants and realize that all the bitching in the world will not cure the situation. There are those who complained about the "goopy"...

    Iwan Ries and Milan Tobacconists

    With the current uproar about STG buying of MacBaren/Sutliff and the demise of the Sutliff plant, it concerns me as to the future of two of the oldest tobacconists in the country; Iwan Ries and Milan Tobacconists of Roanoke, Va.. I'm not as concerned about Milan, who I buy most of my tobacco...

    Milan Prince Albert and Carter Hall

    As a man who believes that a good cup of coffee and a pipe of Prince Albert is the perfect match. For many years this was my beginning of the day routine. Unfortunately when they moved operations for Prince Albert and Carter Hall to the Dominican Republic I noticed a decline in taste and...

    Spring Pollen and Pipe Smoking

    Title edited for capitalization. See Rule 9! Spring is a wonderful time of year, but as we know it is "the season for the sneezing". Does the pollen and allergies effect your pipe smoking pleasure?

    My Pipe Smoking Buddy is Gone

    It is a rough day in our household because my pipe smoking buddy has passed away. He was my four footed, hairy Lab mix who always laid at my feet while I smoked my pipe. He was with me constantly, but he lost his battle with Cushings disease. He enjoyed life up until the last week when things...

    The Decline of Prince Albert and Carter Hall

    When John Middleton Co. decided to move operations to the Dominican Republic they did a massive injustice to their tobacco blends; Prince Albert and Carter Hall. For many years I have enjoyed my Dark Roast coffee with a pipe of Prince Albert. They just went together so well with the smokey...

    Iwan Ries to Discontinue Some Blends

    I would like to thank ELW Green for mentioning that Iwan Ries was going to discontinue their Ko Ko Blend. I hate it when a tobacco company discontinues a blend and doesn't give you the opportunity to stock up on a possible favorite. I had a bowl of KoKo this morning and hadn't planned to get...

    Same Tobacco with Different Name?

    Topic for discussion: I was wondering the other day if tobacco manufacturers produce the same tobacco under different names. Unless my burnt out taste buds are incorrect, Lane Limited LL-7, Captain Black Copper and Casey Jones Beyond Brave are very similar if not the same tobacco. This might...

    Burning Tobacco

    I am probably over obvious but I believe a lot of new pipe smokers don't understand the concept of smoking a pipe. Due to this fact many eventually stop trying to smoke comfortably. I believe that many beginners believe that you pack the pipe and then throw the fire to it and burn the tobacco to...

    Predicament Ordering Tobacco

    We live in an age when we have literally thousands of tobacco blends to choose from, many are quite similar. A while ago I decided to lessen my supply of tobaccos to just the top 10 usual blends with an occasional sampler to keep up with other chooses. I figured this would not be a major problem...
