    Cigarleaf.com doesn't exist anymore. Why?

    Hey guys, It's been a while since I've ordered from CigarLeaf.com. I used to order the Royal Cavendish. This is the best aromatic tobacco I have ever smoked (in my limited experience of 6 years). I was wondering if any of you knew anything about the now defunct website, know how I can get some...

    Tobacco in Tin Turning to Dust

    I bought some McClelland Chocolate Silk in a tin a few months back and only smoke it occasionally. Each time I open the tin it looks as if the tobacco is turning to small small chips instead of staying full ribbon. I don't understand why. I don't use a filter so it becomes very easy to suck up...

    New pipes for my birthday (few pics)

    I celebrated my 35th birthday Sunday. I went to Alabama to celebrate with some friends and decided I wanted to check out the local B&M to find a new pipe. I walked away with two estate pipes that needed cleaning. I paid $15 for both of them. I don't know what they are. They are not marked as far...

    Borkum Riff - Bourbon Whiskey

    I'm not really reviewing it but I am saying this stuff is trash. I read the reviews after I bought it and some of the reviews on Tobaccoreviews.com are freakin hilarious. I got jipped by great packaging. If you want a good laugh, I highly suggest going over and reading them on this particular...

    Acquired a couple of pipe racks

    For Father's Day, we didn't do too much. So I asked my wife if we could hit the antique stores today in a nearby town so I can see if there were any pipe goodies there. I picked up a couple of pipe racks. The lighter stained one with the wooden tobacco "jar" was $18 and the darker stained one...

    the Pipe

    I was in an antique store today and ran across a nice pipe that I wasn't sure if it was briar or not. It almost looked like the whole pipe was made of the same material the bit was. It had no grain and the color was black all over. It had the marking on the side "the pipe". Does anyone know what...

    Edwards Algerian Briar

    My inlaws bought me an Edwards Algerian Briar for Christmas. It says handmade on the bowl as well as a marking of the letter "R". I was wondering what that marking meant. Can anyone help.

    My Boss' Pipe

    I found this on my boss' desk. I was walking by his office and saw it sitting there. Had to take a picture. Doing a little searching it I found out it's a Silver Smith Sterling. Dated somewhere from the 30's to the 50's. If you know more about it, please do share.

    Learning to review a tobacco

    For those who write reviews, how did you learn to say and how to say it. Did you read other reviews and smoke the reviewed tobacco to see. I'm considering writing reviews about the ones I smoke on my new blog but I've never really reviewed one. I know how I would say it but are there proper...

    Tin tobacco aging

    I bought some Samuel Gawith Firedance flake Tobacco in a tin a few months ago. I didn't really like it so I put it up. I pulled it out today and tries it again. I still don't like it but I notice that the flakes looked like they were starting to get some white on it. Didn't look nothing serious...

    The Color of Smoke

    Every once in a while, I'll get brown smoke. Not the blue or sometimes gray color. Any reason why this happens. I'm smoking Meade Hall right now.

    Smellin the bowl

    I'm new to smoking a pipe. I have been looking for a great smelling tobacco like my paw-paw used to smoke. Just the other day a friend of mine gave me a pipe and I smelled the bowl and it smelled GREAT. I asked him what kind of tobacco he smoked in it and he said he didn't remember. Is it...
