    What Should I be Looking for at My First Pipe Show?

    ...And 5 grand would be nice, but 400 bucks will have to do!

    What Should I be Looking for at My First Pipe Show?

    Thanks, Lord. Didn't know that about tobacco sales, but hoping to pick up my first American hand-carved. Headin' out!

    Your "Go-To" Blends

    Wow. Nice question, as evidenced by the 96 replies before mine... definitely must be an overwhelming list of answers, but as a relative newb myself, here's my take: Aromatics: Sutliff's Molto Dolce Tom Eltang's Sweet and Mellow Reserve 1928 (Tinder Box, Mclelland) Virginias: Orlik Golden...

    What Should I be Looking for at My First Pipe Show?

    Hi All, The Chicago Pipe Show is taking place this weekend about 30 minutes from where I live, and I'll be stopping by there tomorrow(Saturday). It's my first pipe show, so I was hoping for some advice, or maybe some answers to these questions: Should I bring pipes to swap or sell? Will there...

    From Aromatics to my First English... Suggestions Please!

    Wow! What a great list of suggestions. Thanks so much, all! So far, this is what is in my online cart: Orlik Golden Sliced (figured I'd start with a Virginia) Sutliff Sunrise (A few of my favorite Aros are Sutliff blends) Frog Morton Cellar (simply from the overwhelming number of suggestions)...

    From Aromatics to my First English... Suggestions Please!

    Greetings, all, Last spring, as a complete Newbie, I posted to the forum asking all of you for your most highly recommended dry-smoking, aromatic blends. I got plenty of great suggestions, and as a result, I’ve been wandering my way through several 2-ounce tins of various Virginia, Cavendish...

    New Smoker, Tobacco suggestions?

    Welcome to forum, ddavid. As a newb myself, I'm currently in the experimentation phase of finding good tobaccos. If you're liking the Captain Black you're already smoking, then my recommendations would be: Sutliff's Molto Dolce, South Seas, and Blue Danube Mac Baren Vanilla (I prefer the...

    Favorite Aromatic, Dry-Smoking Blends?

    Thanks, guys. I'm enjoying the 1Q, however, it does seem to be the same exact blend as Tinderbox's Wilshire. I'm also liking C & D's Gentleman caller, but not too keen on the free samples of Autumn Evening (burned a little hot, and was much too sharp on the palate). Stopped by Iwan Ries in...

    Sorry! Correction: Great show and interview BRIAN. Who's Jerry, anyway? :clap:

    Chuck Levi of Iwan Ries on Radio Show of 4/24/2014

    Just visited Iwan Ries; what an amazing shop! Like stepping back in time. A befuddling selection of great pipes, as well as a massive amount of tobaccos to choose from. Could easily spend hours in there just browsing and examining pipes. Picked up a brand new Brigham Voyageur 154 for an...

    Favorite Aromatic, Dry-Smoking Blends?

    Thanks for the great advice, all. Should I get these tinned tobaccos stored elsewhere once their opened? How long do I have with them before they start getting too dried out? Do I want to "cellar" all of my tobaccos?

    Favorite Aromatic, Dry-Smoking Blends?

    Makes sense, michiganlover. Thanks. I immediately noticed that the appearance and tin note were similar when the 1-Q arrived, and my brother-in-law made that exact comparison as he was loading up his pipe with it last night. I already had two ounces of Wilshire; now it seems I have four! Are...

    Favorite Aromatic, Dry-Smoking Blends?

    UPDATE! My haul of tobaccos just came in, and this is what I've found so far: I tried the Stanwell Melange in my Nording Free-Hand, and it was a pleasant smoke. The draw was a little thick, but that may due to how I packed it. Mild flavor, medium strength, medium taste. Complimented my glass...

    Favorite Aromatic, Dry-Smoking Blends?

    Ha! Thanks a lot, smokeyweb. Also threw in a tin of Stanwell's Melange at the last second, so it looks like I'll have lots of combos to try if I'm going to see how each blend smokes with each pipe. The next couple of weeks are looking to be quite tasty! :puffy: Happy smoking, all! "Education...

    New user pipe suggestions

    From one newb to another, follow puffdoggie's advice and definitely make it a priority to smoke more slowly. This key change I made to my smoking improved my opinion of my first briars. And if you're ever thinking about making the jump to something slightly pricier, I would recommend the...

    Favorite Aromatic, Dry-Smoking Blends?

    Thanks guys. The amount of tobaccos out there is dizzying! After listening to your advice, and reading some other reviews, I just put in an order for some Lane 1-Q, Mac Baren Vanilla Cream flake, Sutliff's Molto Dolce(found that one at tobaccoreviews.com, thanks Papipeguy), and C&D's Gentleman...

    Favorite Aromatic, Dry-Smoking Blends?

    Thanks for the suggestions, guys. This forum is great. I will certainly add these blends to my "to buy" list, and check back. And I'll definitely make a conscious effort to follow the "slower is better" rule. Thanks Dave! -Chuck "Education is what survives when what has been learned has...

    Hi all, I'm a relative newb to pipe smoking, and first time forum-poster. I've been breaking in a few new pipes,and I was wondering if anyone might want to chime in with some favorite dry-smoking aromatics? Thanks!
