    Wilke Tobacco Amazingness

    That Rum Cake sounds phenomenal as do all the Burley blends, I will have to put in a Wilke order soon!

    Old Joe Krantz & Burley Flake #1

    I will also attest to OJK and Three Friars being stellar blends for any Va/Bur/Per fan. These and Haunted Bookshop showcase the best side of these tobaccos in my opinion. I will also suggest C&D Billy Budd Blonde. It is Bur/Va/Per and adds cigar and a little black cav but is not flavored. It's...

    How long to clay and corn cobs last?

    I predominantly smoke cobs and I have yet to throw one away; my first cob is now 10 years old and is a cheap Legend. I have even built cake in a few and cut it back. Like others have said, if you are careful while smoking not to overheat the pipe, clean it well by getting all ash and loose...

    Haunted Bookshop and Pirate Kake first timer

    I love Haunted Bookshop and Pirate Kake on their own or mixed 50/50 to make Haunted Pirate Ship as suggested by good old Matches 860, John Hardin.

    The Wisdom of Cellaring

    Stocking up is definitely a wise choice. I started narrowing down my efforts towards going deep on a few blends across the various categories that I like best and will continue to do so. I am also in the fortunate boat of being a C&D guy and I like a great many of their bulk offerings.

    Just in from STG/MacBaren/Sutliff

    At least LeonardW made my choice on what STG blends to buy in the future super easy....zero! According to that list they axed every blend I liked from MB and Sutliff except for MB Navy Flake and I'm all stocked up on that. STG doesn't make anything else that excites me, and they make little...

    Rattray’s Yule Pipe comments

    It's a real shame because they are very good looking pipes otherwise

    Same Class as Carolina Red Flake w/Perique

    Try C&D Kajun Kake. It isn't exactly like CRF w/perique but it might get you close enough to scratch the itch until the next release. Kajun Kake is more earthy and a tad more spicy from the perique content, but with age the sweetness goes up a little bit. I personally like Kajun Kake even more...

    Questions for Leonardw

    And anytime you shop with Pipes and Cigars you have to pray you don't end up in "backordered" purgatory even when it says the item is in stock when you checkout. I never understood why they couldn't send the other items on your order that aren't backordered. Instead they hold the order up...

    Corn Cob Experience

    I predominantly smoke cobs. I love their open draw, dry smoke, and easy maintenance. I also get better flavors from the blends (burleys and Vapers) I like from cobs. To me a cob can't be beat!

    Questions for Leonardw

    Thank You for all the information Leonardw. Hopefully this will help put some minds at ease for the time being. It's very good to know that as of right now no decision is completely final on what is going away and there is a strong discussion to continue as much as feasible in the future and...

    What Sutliff Products to Purchase?

    Some solid advice on here for the OP. If you haven't had a lot Sutliff and Mac Baren blends I wouldn't go spending a ton of money on any until we find out what's staying. You will just end up buying a bunch of stuff you may not even like when you're better off spending your money on blends you...

    What was your first blend and is it part of your current rotation?

    Captain Black Original and Lane HGL. Neither is in my regular rotation but I do have at least a pound of each on hand to enjoy every once in awhile.

    Thoughts On STG

    My thoughts on STG are 50/50. I don't like the fact that one company is buying up the tobacco world like a shop vac because that always portends a world of less variety. On the other hand they have already done a lot of good by going through the pain of buying the full rights to keep producing a...

    How Much of Your Favorite Blend is Cellared?

    I have just over three pounds of C&D Haunted Bookshop, which is my favorite blend. I will continue to buy it by the pound until I have at least ten pounds on hand. You never know what may happen in the future to cause your favorite blend to disappear; brands are bought like Mac Baren, or more...

    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    This is a shame considering the enormous amount of blends across so much of the pipe tobacco spectrum that will be affected. Just concerning Sutliff alone, all the tobacco they provide to places like WCC, and others. Then there are the one off limited blends they have produced over the years...

    Favorite Codger Blend

    1. Prince Albert 2. Captain Black White They aren't in my regular rotation right now but not for lack of love.

    Trying Out an English Blend.

    Well said! I think far too often we get the wrong idea that we have to like a blend just because it gets high marks on review sites or we hear others ranting and raving how "this" is the greatest tobacco ever and everything else is crap compared to it. Smoking a pipe is about what the individual...
