    Uncased Blends (C&D Highlight)

    Hi all, I forgot what thread it was in, but a couple of us were discussing unadulterated tobacco blends and C&D. I emailed them about it and Mr. Reeves replied. I thought I'd share what he had to say about C&D tobacco. I've replied with some follow up questions, mainly about if GLP is also...

    Most Smoked Blends Vs Favorite Blends

    I am curious to hear if the blends people smoke the most are also their "favorites". Although, one could argue that if you smoke one blend the most, it could be your favorite. I'll list 4, because that's all I can reasonably come up with. 1. C&D Briar Fox - this one has taken over top spot...

    Appreciation For C&D Crumble Cakes

    Over the last couple of years, C&D has moved into my top spot for blending house. One of the reasons is their fantastic crumble cake. I love the confetti cut they have, it's so easy to break apart and stuff into the pipe, and burns easily and evenly. I caught myself on smokingpipes going...

    Briar Fox

    I've almost exclusively been smoking Briar Fox for the past couple of weeks, and I'm nearing the end of my tin. The Fox inspired me to share my thoughts with you all, so I shall. I really enjoy C&D crumble cakes, very easy to rub out and load. I tend to rub the entire cake out if I'm finishing...

    Something Unique About Cigars

    The taste of the wrapper. I've been ignoring my cigars for a while now, and I noticed how much flavor I got from the wrapper when I smoked one yesterday. That's why I love both cigars and pipes, and I don't think I could ever truly give one up willingly. The experiences are both too unique to...

    Sutliff: Crumble Kake Barrel Aged Series No.5 Rustica

    Has anyone heard anything about this? I just saw it on SP this morning while browsing. Description: "Sun-cured rustica leaf joins zesty Virginias and nutty Burleys before the mixture is aged in bourbon barrels and pressed into a crumble cake, allowing the tobaccos to mellow and their flavors to...

    Room Note Importance

    So, I usually smoke outside or in my car. Occasionally when it's really cold, I'll smoke inside by a window. Lucky for me, my wife thinks pretty much all pipe tobacco smells like incense when being smoked, and doesn't have an issue with it. Because of this, I never really put much thought into...

    GL Pease Embarcadero - A Blend I Enjoy

    GL Pease blends are tricky things sometimes. Pease himself suggests letting newly opened cans of tobacco sit for a week or two before smoking for best experiences. It's been discussed on this forum for a good while as well. So all that is to say that when I first tried Embarcadero, I really...

    Birds Of A Feather

    I found this today: Birds of a Feather - https://www.cigarmerchant.com/brands/birds-of-a-feather/ Looks like three new blends are coming out this year. I'm particularly interested in the Anomlous with that katerini perique, and the Paradoxical with that rustica and vabur. We'll see if those...

    Best Match Codger Blends

    Tubs like Carter Hall and Prince Albert are getting harder to find. What are some of your favorite match blends that are as good or maybe even better than the old otc blends? I've heard a lot of talk about Chatham Manor and Sutliff Estate. Do these satisfy long time codger blend enjoyers?

    USS Midway

    My wife and I are on vacation celebrating our anniversary and birthdays. We both share the same birthday (tomorrow), and got married on our birthday. I'm a huge history nerd, so of course we had to visit the USS Midway Museum. I'm not exaggerating when I say that it was one of the best...

    Best Store Bought Eggnog?

    I've read good things about Pennsylvania Dutch eggnog, but what are your favorites for a spiked eggnog? I'm too lazy to make my own.

    Aromatics: Captain Black vs Lane vs 7 Seas

    Hi all, I've been having a craving for more aromatics of late and want to branch out a bit from my trust Country Squire blends like Rivendell and Old Toby. I know Lane Limited makes the CB line, and has their cousins, 1Q, RLP, and BCA among others. I'm wondering how the 7 Seas line compares...

    Please Tell Me about Swedish Snus

    So I purchased a can of General Original this morning on a whim when I was paying for gas and this stuff is very interesting. I haven't done a lot of research into Swedish snus other than it's pasteurized instead of fire-cured which makes it much less carcinogenic. The flavor is a bit citrusy...

    Peter Heinrichs Dark Strong Flake & Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky Review

    Allow me to start off by saying I am just a hobbyist and you shouldn't pay my opinion too much attention beyond the ramblings of a tobacco obsessed man. I also haven't written any reviews before this, so please bear with me. Now that we got that out of the way, let's get into the meat of this...

    AVO Favorites

    I recently had my first AVO, which was an XO Intermezzo, and I loved it. Really just an amazing cigar. What's next? Do you have any favorites from AVO? I tend not to prefer the pepper bombs.

    In your experience, which candela wrapped cigars are worth trying? So far I've only liked the Illusione hl Candela.
