    Rougaroux - What's So Special?

    Not dissing this superb blend at all. What did Ernie do to make this such a unique and amazingly tasty blend? I have enjoyed a good number of blends with similar constituent tobaccos, but none are close at all. This is a home run in the bottom of the ninth!

    Where are all the Displaced Master Blenders going?

    With the demise / reduction of Sutliff and Mac Baren, where are the master blenders off to? First, there was Per George Jensen of Mac B. and then there is Russ Ouellette of Hearth & Home. I am sure that I missed others. Where are these giants of the Pipe tobacco industry going? Seems that...

    More about Latakia...

    Syrian is extinct. Cyprian is pretty much what has been used for quite some years. Within the last year or so, Turkish Latakia has come upon the scene in a few blends. That said, I have read some statements here that C&D is now using Turkish Latakia in it's blends, including GLP and other...

    The Run On Mac Baren Pipe Tobacco Seems To Have Eased

    It seems that the panic buying may have paused a bit. Shortly after the infamous announcement that Mac B and Sutliff were on thin ice, we saw the usual panic buying set in and everything with those names vanished in short order. It took some searching among favorite sources, but I managed to...

    Are we Really Losing That Much With the Closures of Mac Baren and Sutliff?

    With the soon to be ceasing of operations of Mac Baren and Sutliff, I wonder if we are really losing that much. I mean, there are still many other options for essentially similar blends from many other sources. Does anyone find any of the soon to be gone blends that are truly unique? Anyone...

    What's The Difference...?

    What is the difference between these stout twists - Brown Bogie, Brown Irish X, Black Bogie, Black Irish XXX? I'm a fan of Brown Bogie - very smooth smoke, very good taste and somewhat strong in both taste & strength. I find it is a very easy tobacco to deal with and requires not too many...

    Recommendations Needed On English-Aro Crossovers

    I'm looking to have a go with some crossover blends that lean towards the English side. My usual preferences are for English, Scottish and Burley blends. Like to find a few crossovers to try that are a bit stronger with good toppings / casings. Suggestions appreciated!
