    Any Suggestions on a Straight Virginia?

    Get yourself a nice poker or freehand with deep bowl and narrow chamber; build a thick cake... chamber will become narrower. I've noticed virginias smoke cooler this way.

    Any Suggestions on a Straight Virginia?

    I love macbaren virginia #1; sweet, savoury, bready, easy, buttery, bright. Sweetens any pipe. Pack it tall and narrow, puff slowly and half way down you will be rewarded by virginia bliss. Since 1955. Good stuff.

    Half and Half Tobacco

    After a ten yr hiatus I made it back to smoking a pipe. I like the GH flakes and some MacBaren blends. I picked up an old pouch of the pinkerton H&H that was forgotten at a nearby tobacconist. Now I am hard pressed to smoke anything else. My custombilt style poker by Dave McLary and Half and...

    Hay & Molasses...

    Something like MB dark twist sounds about right. Newminster 403 is a virginia, kentucky roll cake too.

    Do You Pack To The Brim, Below, Or A Little Above?

    I pack a touch below on the smooth pipe I have; depends on appetite. Way above on the mini cob I have. Usually ends up being just below.

    How Do You Feel About Lanes Blends

    There is no anise to my taste, or per the packaging. "Cardamom, coriander, and maze" maybe a little cherry. For anise you have mix 79, SWRA, warhorse, condor.

    Am I a ‘Codger’ for Wanting to Smoke Only Half and Half?

    I picked up a pouch of Pinkerton Half and Half the other week and haven’t been wanting to put anything else in the pipe. It’s sweet, nutty, spicy, burns well. It’s somehow light and robust at the same time, has a je ne sais quoi spice note (what is maze anyways, mace?, corn?) It just makes me...
