    P & C Best of the Rest Bulk Tobacco

    I said I only got it to make the limit on shipping and really didn't expect a lot. But I didn't expect it to make me sick either. Maybe next time I'll fill out the order with MM cobs.

    P & C Best of the Rest Bulk Tobacco

    I placed an order with P&C for some tobacco, and as a filler to make the free shipping price, I added a bag of their Best of the Rest tobacco. I wasn't expecting too much for a buck an ounce tobacco, but the reviews where very good. I received my order and cellered everything away except the...

    RIP Nanci Griffith

    Big fan of Nanci Griffith...and Jim Croce. Both left us too soon. I'm interested to see the comments, and actual number of comments on this tread. There's a ton of good people on the site with their own taste in everything that makes up life, as it should be. But every once in a while...

    Prince Albert / Carter Hall

    As you guys know, I'm a big fan of Carter Hall. In fact, sometimes when I have an especially hard day, I take the top off the tub and shove my face in so I can breath in the wonderful, peaceful aroma of the tobacco. Usually about three good whiffs will do it. Like taking a shower for my brain.

    I Guess it's My Turn for a Grow Thread

    I don't know burley but I do know Bright leaf Virginia. If you want a golden leaf without brown spot or mold, you'll have to cure the tobacco. This happens in four steps and takes about a week. First, you have to "color" the tobacco at a low temperature. Then you go up on the heat and...

    What Turned You on to Pipes?

    For me, pipes have always been a staple with the men in my family. In fact, when I was young everyone who farmed tobacco smoked or chewed. I think it was to keep from getting sick in the tobacco fields. When a young boy was old enough to go in the fields, usually around 9 or 10, he usually...

    Revisiting Tobaccos that You’ve Hated...

    I felt the same about tobacco with chocolate toppings. I found it was better when mixed with a straight unflavored tobacco. I suppose I didn't hate the chocolate so much as the overpowering strength.

    All Tobacco Tastes the Same

    All tobacco tastes pretty much the same to me too. I can recognize the difference between Burly and Virginia, but little else. In fact, I have smoked vanilla and cherry aromatics on the same day and didn't notice a large difference. I do choose aromatics sometimes when around people because...

    Carter Hall Tobacco

    Guy's, I don't know what's going on. I've heard that Carter Hall was discontinued for awhile now, and it's been sold out online. As I stated in another post, I was able to grab a tub of CH and a tub of PA last week on the way to N Myrtle Beach. They only had one of each in stock. On a whim...

    How do You Carry Your Pipe?

    Title changed- capitalization of major words. How do you carry your pipe when out and about or working? I shove mine in my belt, left side cross draw style. Putting it in my jeans pocket will lead to a broken stem and it falls out of my shirt pocket.

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2021?***

    Carter Hall in a MM cob. Was rolling on 17 headed to North Myrtle Beach and passed a Smoker Friendly. Figured I didn't have anything to lose so I did a U turn and pulled in. The first thing I saw when entering was a 14 oz container of Carter Hall sitting beside a 14 oz container of Prince...

    How to Re-Hydrate Pipe Tobacco

    Years ago, before bulk barns, we cured tobacco on sticks. After curing we had to open the barn doors during the night to let the leaves obtain some moisture and become pliable so they didn't crumble while unloading the barn and hauling to the pack house. That's how I handle dry pipe tobacco. I...

    Hello from Eastern North Carolina

    Thanks. Sounds like we've got something in common. I was raised on a tobacco farm also.

    Hello from Eastern North Carolina

    Just a guy that smokes drug store blends out of a Dr Grabow while plowing or pulling on crappie, but I'd like to hang around if It'll be ok.
