    Cobblestone Burley?

    I haven't yet popped my tins of ABF or Wessex, so I cannot compare to what I have heard so many refer to as the "gold standard" of burley flakes. It does remind me of Mac B's HH Burley Flake, but it has a little something extra. My guess is a slight touch of K&K special sauce and a shade more...

    Cobblestone Burley?

    I was surprised how much I liked "Hiking" from the first smoke. I have smoked two tins and have 10 more. I am nearly positive it is made by K&K, and says "Made in Germany" on the back of the tin. I am going to order more and look forward to seeing what some age will do.

    Greetings from Slippery Rock, PA

    Aloha from Hawaii. I was in a wedding in Slippery Rock years ago. Beautiful area!

    Name Your Nilla

    MB Vanilla Roll Cake. The tin note is fantastic and the taste is mainly tobacco, but I can still taste the vanilla bean. Probably too strong for my money. Time will tell if it will calm down enough to be complimentary. I can't see myself ever buying more than the 1lb I already have. Actually, I...

    G.L. Pease Windjammer

    Nice review! I enjoy WJ and occasionally get a great smoke that at tastes like a Fig Newton dipped in rum. Takes me back about 20 years to a weirdly satisfying midnight snack... Anyway, I've got a dozen or so tins waiting on Father Time to do his magic!

    Hello from Paris!

    Aloha from Hawaii. Paris is a fantastic city. I'd go back for the bread alone.

    Hello from Just Outside NYC

    Aloha from Hawaii. I'm new to the forum myself. I've enjoyed my trips to NYC, but I've wanna to visit the rest of the state sometime, too. Any good B&M shops near you?

    What Tobaccos Hit You from Out of Left Field?

    I've had blissful bowls of 20 year old Haddo's and 15 year old Stonehaven and Marlin Flake that still make me salivate, but loading my bowl, I knew they were going to be great. My mind was blown the first bowl of fresh GH Dark Plug. It hadn't even turned one, so I wasn't prepared to be truly...

    Three Nuns

    I went camping with Brasky … I’m in the back of a pickup with Bill Brasky and a live deer. Well, Brasky, he grabs the deer by the antlers, looks at it and says, ‘I’m Bill Brasky! Say it!’ Then he squeezes the deer in such a way that a sound comes out of its mouth — “Billbrasky!” It wasn’t...

    Seattle Pipe Club - Plum Pudding Review

    Good review. I've only tried the Special Reserve, but based on your praises, I may just opt for regular if I ever run out.

    Three Nuns

    Good to know! It's def less expensive and always in stock. Win, win.

    Three Nuns

    I think you're on to something. Just thinking about my stash, I am a big fan of a lot of coins, too. Escudo, Three Nuns, Dark Roll Cake, Brown Twist Sliced, Black Twist Sliced, Vanilla Roll Cake, Davidoff coins, even LBE are all pretty great, IMO. Newminster 403 may be the exception with all the...

    Best Smelling Tobacco

    I'm no expert, but I use the term to refer to blends I think of my grandfather, father, and uncle used to smoke. Basically old OTC blends like Prince Albert, Carter Hall, Sir Walter R, Half & Half, Granger, and the like. Those are the ones I recognize now that I smoke, but I haven't figured out...

    Three Nuns

    I have been on a real DF kick lately, so I will keep my hopes high. Not much else to do without that time machine I keep waiting on... ⌚???

    Good to know! My tins are from 2019. Booo!

    Three Nuns

    I have a stash of Three Nuns Green that I really enjoy. I haven't found anything exactly like it, but there are a few that are similar (to me). Newminster 403 Superior Round Slices is a most always in stock and is sold in bulk. It definitely needs time in the cellar as I find it is pretty harsh...

    Aloha from Hawaii

    We Well, I was right. You do have plenty of interesting stories! Switching to journalist was probably a wise choice and it sounds like you had a good gig. Especially for the stories. Who the hell else can saw they lived on Midway?!? The JO rating changed to Mass Communications Specialist a...

    Aloha from Hawaii

    Thank you! There are not too many of us here, but I do my best to promote it. I have a few new MM cobs I keep in my pack incase someone wants to give piping a go. I have "hooked" a few cigar and cig smokers, but not too many. Most don't want to accept a new pipe, but it's always my pleasure, and...

    Aloha from Hawaii

    Awesome! Thanks. May or may not have consumed a fair amount of tasty Bavarian beverages in your neck of the woods... Amazing place!
