    War Horse Bar Alternatives?

    I haven't bought tobacco in over a year, just been steadily working through my stash. One of my regulars was War Horse red, I like green as well but red was my favorite. I cracked open my last tin of red earlier this week and now it's almost gone, I thought "I better go online and buy a few...

    Estate With "Burnt Wood Ghost"

It came with a thick cake, I reamed it down to tolerable levels and did my usual clean of new pipes(pipe cleaner dipped in alcohol and clean the stem).

    Question about Tobacco Dryness among Varieties

    Greetings all. New to the forum, but have been an account-less lurker for some time. I have an odd question that will no doubt sound rather silly so please forgive my inexperience. I could not find another post about specifically this, so I created one. As the title states, this is a complex...
