    Lakeland(s)

    I am devoting 1 fresh pipe to Ennerdale I am wondering if there are any other blends similar enough to be smoked in the same pipe. I was thinking maybe St Bruno and Erinmore might be okay my in my Ennerdale pipe. Are they? Are there any others I could safely smoke (like Kendall? or 1792?)?

    Aromatics vs Flavoured Blends

    I am a little confused as to what is considered an aromatic. There are some blends not labeled as aromatics on Tobacco Reviews such as Bengal Slices (licorice flavouring) and Navy Flake (rum flavouring). I thought flavouring a blend automatically made it an aromatic? What is the difference...

    McClelland

    McClelland was run by a couple who retired and that was before I started smoking pipes. I always wondered why didn't the McClellands sell or pass on their recipes? Recipes do switch hands in pipe tobacco amongst different companies. In fact a whole company line like Dunhill can get moved onto...
