    Hello From Brazil and Asking For Suggestions!

    Oh.., none of those can compare with our local ropes...! Strength wise... I noticed that they need to be blended with Virginias or a toasted Burley.

    Hello From Brazil and Asking For Suggestions!

    Thanks everybody for your suggestions...Some blends already arrived!!! and enjoying all of them! Errm..., actually many of those are quite heavy, but there are more acoming, on the light side. Comoy's cask n.4, n.7, Sutliff Va slices, Red Va ribbon and PS Natural Dutch Cavendish...that will last...

    Hello From Brazil and Asking For Suggestions!

    Our law allows you to bring 250gr of pipe tobacco. I just got 4 tins (to be on the safe side) of HU tobaccos (absolutely wonderful blends made in Germany, I strongly recommend). No problems. I had some bizarre stories about tobacco gifts some American friends insist in sending me. All passed...

    Hello From Brazil and Asking For Suggestions!

    Hello!!! I was born in São Paulo and there were good tobacconists there. Nothing left, unfortunately. We make it do with some grey importers, but it works! There's a shop in Ipiranga where you can find good Brazilian blends. They are made here in Brazil with really decent tobacco. The quality is...

    Hello From Brazil and Asking For Suggestions!

    Thanks for the suggestion!! Just recently I came to know these Newmister blends.., I~m curious about them...The Danish know how to make their pipe tobacco!

    Hello From Brazil and Asking For Suggestions!

    LOL. I meant- tobacco that does not need preparation, like plugs or flakes and that you can load a vest pipe...I have some small narrow chambered pipes and flakes would not do for them.

    Hello From Brazil and Asking For Suggestions!

    Oh Yes!!!! I know! That's why I'm trying to build a minimum basic selection which I can rely on a daily basis. Then I can make forays into different blenders and styles. I love my latakias, but now I prefer them to be more for real long pondering moments... For everyday smoke, quick smokes...

    Hello From Brazil and Asking For Suggestions!

    Oh you are so right!!! LOL...But I like to see how things naturally My friend! Thanks a lot! I tell you- I made a list, that is exactly the same you just sent! Only difference is that I excluded the Sutliff, and Boswells blends. Quite a coincidence!

    Hello From Brazil and Asking For Suggestions!

    I do Ok, there are quite a number of Balkan Supreme: from Arango ( Tobaco pipes has it), Mc Cranie's and Peter Stokkebye..., are you referring to Peter Stokkebye, right? Well, I have quite a number of English Mixtures ( Alottalatakia indeed) and if I get new blends with latakia I would like...

    Hello From Brazil and Asking For Suggestions!

    Hi Elric. I may rely mostly on 4Noggins and Cup O'Joes. Eventually Tobaccopipes. I like your idea of a Burley blend....nowadays I have been veering towards Burley forward mixtures...I wonder about John Patton...and 4Noggins house blends... Thanks!!!
  13. alottalatakia

    Hello From Brazil and Asking For Suggestions!

    Thanks a million! Peter Stokkebye is definitely up there in my listings...But I only know the Luxury flakes- the Navy Flake and the Bullseye. Good tip about the Natural Dutch Cavendish. Golden extra is another interesting idea.

    Hello friends! Some here may know me already.., I'm member of a few Facebook pipe smokers groups. I have been smoking pipes for over 30 years now and just recently discovered the whole world of online tobacciana! Beautiful! Since I learned to smoke pipes almost alone, there's some gaps to cover...
