    Robert Mcconnell Heritage/Dunhill blends

    The Robert Mcconnell series has been redesigned (titles and tin art) but the stuff seems to be the same: https://kohlhase-kopp.com/ceemes/zigarren/robert-mcconnell/heritage/black-flake-1369.html?markenansicht=1[list=1] These are no exact match blends - but close to the dunhill originals...

    I'm feeling irresistable with ANY tobacco - ask the girls!

    Dunhill Ranking - Which One's the Most Iconic?

    Sad enough - Dunhill blends passed away. But looking back, which of these blends had the most iconic 'value' for you - and why? My rating: 1. Navy Rolls (best Vaper) 2. MM 965 (hits Nightcap and EMP in the middle) 2. Nightcap (simply unique) 3. EMP (best tin design) 4. Durbar (best Oriental)

    Using Filters - or Not?

    @ seldom You're right - that's why I'm going to try balsa filters in future!

    Using Filters - or Not?

    @ trouttimes, carolinachurchwarden Good idea, I should try Balsa filters too - instead of the common activated carbon ones. I think filter reduce a certain amount of tar, which isn't a component I really like to taste ...

    Using Filters - or Not?

    I just come back from smoking a pipe outside in the sun - to enjoy the first warming moments of the year. But - it wasn't a pleasure smoke at all. I forgot to put a filter inside the pipe so it became a very harsh and bitter break for me. In Europe, especially German, smoking with filter is...

    How BIG is your cellar?

    @ foggymountain Gosh! What's your reason to do so ?!

    Bowl to the bottom

    For me, the question is: Are there certain tobaccos that can naturally be smoked easliy up to the bottom - or is it generally a matter of HOW you smoke a pipe ?

    Bowl to the bottom

    Hi everybody, I always try to smoke a bowl right to the bottom - even it gets a little bit harsh at the end. What are your criterias to finish smoking a pipe - except time aspects?

    How BIG is your cellar?

    @ 3rdguy I guess, just the small corner of the hall ;)

    How BIG is your cellar?

    I started smoking pipes a year ago and the main reason for cellaring was the dissapearence of Dunhill blends from the marked

    How BIG is your cellar?

    @Glut Gosh! That's probably more than you'll find in any average tobacco shop. Great!

    How BIG is your cellar?

    I just used thepipetool.com to quantify my tobacco collection and was surprised how much it is - at last 8,6 Ibs, mostly Dunhill blends. For me, as an occasional piper, i guess it maybe lasts out for the next 5 years. And still, there are some tins out there I really, really, really need to get...

    Tasting tobacco

    I know understand what 'retro hailing' means: That's exactly, what I'm already doing all the time ;)

    Tasting tobacco

    @Cosmic Thanks for your comment! I'm smoking for a year now, mainly English Blends. I can determine certain flavors - but only, if I use my nose by 'puffing' out. Without my nose, I would probably taste nothing ...

    Tasting tobacco

    What does "retro haling" mean (sorry, no native speaker) ? I agree, it takes time to develop a sense for certain flavors - but again: What do you really perceive by mouth?

    Tasting tobacco

    Hi everybody, I often wonder what people mean when they talk about how they taste tobacco. For me, it's first of all a matter of what I realize with my nose - not so much what can be perceived by mouth. According to my knowledge, there are only a few receptors for the main flavors in the mouth...
