    McArris OMG

    My search for Deep Hollow resulted in not only a tin of Deep Hollow but a free sample of McCranies McArris. Wasn't impressed by reviews or the bag note, but wow does it smoke well, and is delicious to boot. A supremely high quality vabur that stays lit and burns even. I'm not one for burley, but...

    KBV Haunted Virginia

    A forum member was kind enough to send a bag of this as I missed the drop. I am now indebted to him as this is one fine tobacco. It comes at the perfect moisture, burns well down to ash. I don't get a strong smell out of the bag, nonetheless, it is absolutely delicious. The only way I can...

    Enjoying Aros

    I've read a few times here over the years that aros are more difficult for newbies to enjoy. I do smoke aros now daily, also non aros, and enjoy both quite a bit. I'm not sure why the non aros are harder to enjoy however. My smoking skill has no doubt improved over the years, but i feel like i...

    Ken Byron Haunted VA

    For those of you that were able to grab this, if it doesnt agree with you please let me know. I missed it and would like the chance to take it off your hands.

    Scare-o-matic

    Anybody had this yet? What did you think? I'm thinking about grabbing some. Mr. Christian’s Scare O’Matic – KBV - https://kbven.com/shop/mr-christians-scare-omatic/?v=7516fd43adaa

    Presbyterian Ordained

    Came across this blend randomly and fell in love with it. No dry time, no bite, packs easy and delicious even if returned to 2 days later to finish the bowl (thats a requirment of mine). What I primarily taste is a varying orange and lemon citrus and extremely light graham cracker + a honey...

    GL Pease Virginia Cream

    I've found myself returning often to this blend. It's ready to smoke, no rub out, packs easy, lights easy, and stays lit. The vanilla is less vanilla and more cream, as the name doesn't suggest exactly but it's a delightful truth. What draws me to it is the sourness of something...the VAs, the...

    Really Old Peterson Tins?

    I think. Or maybe not. Hoping for some help. Please check out the pics. Old label, no date or code, but the original price was 3.95. Anybody have an idea of what year these may have been produced?

    C&D Crooner

    Usually smoke VA based but recently looking for an after dinner smoke with a little kick. Looked to burley and came across Crooner. I hated it but kept coming back and now I smoke it daily. The tobacco itself feels so good and silky in hand. It smells fantastic. A slow cadence brings out the...

    Burley Recommendation

    Looking for a sweeter, after dinner, burley based tobacco. I grabbed Haunted Bookshop, Crooner, and Easy Times, and I think I'm not one for Latakia and want something that shows the sweeter side of burley if it has one. Additionally a strong nic hit would be great. Those 3 I mentioned I probably...

    Plastic in Capstan

    Anybody found plastic strings in the Capstan Blue before? Every flake I'm finding 4 or 5 of these plastic strings when I rub it out. This can't be normal, right?

    Something Like St. Patrick's Day

    I am really fond of 2018 Peterson St Patrick's Day as a morning smoke. Having a limited number of tins, I'm looking for something similar. For those of you that have smoked it, you know it's quite fruity, tart, and bright, developing to slightly creamy near the end. Any help would be appreciated!

    Focusing On Straight VAs

    Crown pipe from pipes and cigars. Smokes very well. Dedicated to straight VAs.

    Sutliff Whimsical

    I don't buy much new but I was intrigued by this. The tin note is simply exceptional. I can only describe it as a cracker with cheese (I say blue) and jam. It's rich and complex. That note carries decently well to the taste, along a nice interpleay between pepper and tang. The Virginia's to...

    Ken Byron Types

    Is there a method to the madness? Like, does Mr Christian's tobacco have something in common? Just trying to understand his lines.

    Anybody order from them? How is the experience?

    Skiff Mixture

    I'm breaking my rule of if I don't like a tobacco straight away just moving on. For some reason I want to like this blend. But it really seems underwhelming for the majority of the smoke. Is it known to need extra drying or a wide bowl to get the most out of it? Just not getting it quite yet -...

    Memories of Tuscany

    Wondering if anybody has tried this blend. Sounds intriguing. Thoughts?

    Dedicated Lakeland Pipe(s)

    I have a pipe dedicated to Ennerdale. Now I'm realizing I may like a number of Lakelands. Wondering if it would be smart to dedicated more than 1 pipe, or do the ghosts not mingle much? Any advice would be great.

    What Do You Do?

    Just wondering about the diversity here. I'll go first. I'm a former math teacher and now work in Educational Technology marketing. What about you?
