10 Best Pipe Tobaccos... According to Me (YMMV)
Yeah, GL Pease is way too hard for me. It's like, "Hey, do you want a dash of flavor to go with your big bowl of nicotine?" Too much.- Professor B

10 Best Pipe Tobaccos... According to Me (YMMV)
I realize my tastes might considered weak by some. Nevertheless, I like or dislike a tobacco based mostly on it's flavor. The strength or weakness of the tobacco is nothing to me. If it tastes good to me, I like it. Isn't that the reason we all smoke a pipe? To derive our own special enjoyment...- Professor B

Bell's "Three Nuns"
You mean the stuff that Mac Baren based this on? As in, the old stuff from back in the day? Lucky.- Professor B

Bell's "Three Nuns"
I discovered this blend years ago in an obscure tobacco shop hidden away behind some trees on a dirt road leading into a heavy rural area. The shop is long gone now, but I went in there several times back in the day. The owner was a very large Scottish immigrant with a massive handlebar...- Professor B

EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) @Grangerous, @Captain Granger... I don't what you guys are talking about. This stuff sucks.- Professor B

Granger, Anyone?
Side note: I am quite perplexed by the reviews of Granger. Seems like half call it an aromatic, the other half says it is not. This is puzzling to me. In my experience, I know an aromatic when I smoke it. There is no ambivalence about it. A tobacco is either aromatic, or it isn't. So what's up...- Professor B

Granger, Anyone?
Based on Grangerous' previous recommendations, I ordered a tin of Granger. Hasn't arrived yet. And it wasn't easy to find. No vender in St. Louis sells it, as far as I can tell (not even Jon's Pipe Shop, which, for those who know St. Louis, is the absolute mecca for all things pipery). Found it...- Professor B

Ashton "Consummate Gentleman"
I would argue that the level of latakia in a blend, be it a lot or a little, depends on a pipe smoker's personal taste, regardless of how long he has been smoking. More latakia doesn't necessarily translate into greater experience. I've been smoking English blends for 16 years and I prefer this...- Professor B

Ashton "Consummate Gentleman"
I've been a fan of English blends for a long time but many of them are too strong, IMO. Finding a blend with jus the right amount of Latakia has been a challenge. Some blends overdo it. Others don't add enough. Then I heard about Ashton's "Consummate Gentleman." The only other Ashton I recall...- Professor B

Aromatic Discussion
My understanding, having worked briefly at the Tinderbox, was that the drug store tobaccos had added chemicals in them to insure longer shelf life, chemicals that are way more detrimental than tobacco could be. But perhaps I am wrong?- Professor B

Aromatic Discussion
I've had Carter Hall and SWR. But not Granger. I guess I was laboring under the erroneous belief that Granger wasn't aromatic for some reason. Just ordered a tin.- Professor B

Pipe Tobacco in the 1920s
My grandfather (who passed pipe smoking on to his son and grandson) was in his 20s in the 1920s. (I have one his Kaywoodies from the 1940s.) I asked him once what the old timers smoked back in the early 20th century. He told me most pipe tobacco back in the 1920s had a sarsaparilla flavor. Can...- Professor B
