    “The Rake” On YouTube: Recent Tour Of The Dunhill White Spot Factory in London

    Lots of fun. Enjoyed seeing Saint Claude on one of the machines. So, there remain but two questions: 1) how does one get a tour of the factory and 2) who also thought the Eiffel tower pipe entirely gauche?

    What’s Your Favorite Esoterica/Germain’s Blend?

    Kingsbridge. No one else a fan? That is the one for me, the one I could smoke forever and be content. I think the last bag I got was in 2017. Alas!

    One Tobacco to Rule Them All...

    Here is what the other Brazilian fellow answered to my questions: CPF is the Brazilian Social Security Number (we use it a lot here), and CEP is the Zip Code. I can give you a random CPF to use, that shouldn't cause any issues. But you need the CEP for correct delivery. Unfortunately, I...

    Easy to Find Esoterica During this last Drop?

    I was in NYC this past weekend and, as always, stopped in at Barclay Rex. The kindly woman there directed me to the tobacco and then sort of whispered, "a box from Germains arrived today." Cool! She showed me a variety of Germains tins including one Esoterica (Dunbar, I think it was). Great...

    UK: Labour Smoking Ban

    Grim thread, this. Surely at base for this decision is the issue of centralized, government run (or not run, as the case may be) healthcare. The government controls it in Blighty so the government gets to call the shots. That is always the problem when government controls things. What drives...

    Most Sought After Unicorns...

    For me it was Esoterica Kingsbridge. Wow, got hooked on that one years ago and now... But have been thinking that perhaps we ought to thank our asian friends who pay outrageous prices for various tobaccos (and pipes): are they helping to keep production alive? Is that flourishing market...
