    Bored of the "Paper Flavour"

    Thanks for all the messages, advice and links.what an interesting start on this hobby journey. I plumped for a new Lorenzetti #23, because I loved the shape and rich russet colours. Plus it was half price...so that’s a win. In tobaccos, I have tried many...Amphora English was difficult to...

    Are All English Blends Like This?

    Hi again, So in my new, but continuing, journey (and as an Englishman abroad) I obtained some Amphora English blend. There is really only one time (late morning and early afternoon) in the day that I enjoy this. it reminds me (and tastes if) bonfires. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing but it...

    I would seriously consider that. As I mentioned, I am rather partial to a half bent apple.

    Bored of the "Paper Flavour"

    HI all, I'm new to this site (and relatively new to pipe smoking). After smoking cigarettes for years, I got bored of the taste of paper. I have been following conversations here and have a couple of preferred tobacco's and pipe shapes. I am currently a fan of 1Q, David's Executive Blend, 7 Seas...
