    Big news for EU: Cornell & Diehl

    Good god.....$21 per tin.....doubt they will sell much at that rate! Gauntleys in Nottingham (UK) imported a few GL Pease a few years back and sold it for about £23 ($28).....needless to say they no longer sell it.................. If you can buy a good HU blend in Germany for $10 then the C&D...

    Cornell & Diehl Haunted Bookshop

    Loved it when I first tried it about 2013................from 2015ish it's been just mehhh for me. The cut changed at some point....around 2014? and it just lost a lot of the "special" flavour (don't think the cut had anything to do with that though). Only tried bulk....but have a few tins...

    UK or European equivalent of C&D Burley flake no 3

    I live in the U.K. .......I'm a C&D fan............ OJK, Burley Flake #1 and #3 and Redburn .....plus GL Pease Barbary Coast among others. There's nothing similar that I am aware of.............the nearest you will get in Europe with some of the HU blends like Night Owl. If you find...

    Will Cob Pipes Accept 9mm Filters?

    I make custom cobs ....(when I get a bit of machine down time)....and have made a couple of 9mm filter ones. The problem is they take the same amount of time to make a nice acrylic stem and then a shank....for a pipe that sells for a lot less than a briar. I really like Peterson Irish...
