    G&H Rumors to Confirm or Dispell

    Normally I would not bother but this whole Kendal Dark Kendal Kentucky and and Kendal Dark Bird'seye all being the same or being reduced to one blend thing came up again in another thread.

    Sutliff Macedonia Prelip Ted Tobacco

    So in my searching for Pure Orientals I broke down and got this it was only available by the pound from Ted Tobacco. I have been trying to figure out what the musty Oriental in Presbyterian is and as I saw a picture of this online it appeared to be the lighter leaf in Presby. When I received it...

    HU Soraya First Impressions

    Just cracked a 2019 tin today (thanks John) Though my palate is still way off from Covid ( I still can't taste even coffee properly) I must say that this is a beautiful blend the Orientals remind me of McClelland's Blending Oriental and then there is the sweet Va and a baritone Burley, a hint...

    Tobacco Globalism II

    So, as was discussed in part one which was locked due to "the great tinning debacle" We have here another K formerly K&K product Blended in Germany and Packaged in the USA. Again no way to tell the tinning date but we can assume it was tinned around Sep/Oct as the kinks get worked out hopefully...

    Dunhill Dark Flake and the Attack of the Clones

    Seems Dark Flake itself is under Attack as in hard to get. Opinions and comparisons welcome, Charatan/McConnell Black Flake, Wessex Brigade Campaign, and would any of you include Rattray's Marlin Flake in the running? Are there any others that I'm missing?

    Interest In a DIY Pipe Magizine?

    Title edited. Original: "Would Anybody Be Interested In Contributing to/Subscribing To A DIY Pipe Magizine?" Was thinking about a labor of Love for all things Pipes and Tobacco, a zine more than a magazine. Probably Black and White 8x11 photocopied and all maybe silkscreened with tri tone...

    Dunhill Clones With Least Latakia

    Wondering if any of those who enjoyed the original or most recent Dunhill Durbar and London Mixture for their Oriental forward smaller amounts of Latakia would recommend either the Charatan clones or Robert McConnell clones for the least amount of Latakia. Are there other Clones you might...

    Robert McConnell Scottish Cake ( Arango Cigar Version)

    So I just got a bunch of Robert McConnell K&K produced Heritage Blends , not quite sure if these or the Charatan clones were supposedly closer to the Murray's era Dunhills. So some insight into Dunhill clones would be nice but onto the subject at hand. The Tin description of the older Arango...

    THE WHALE (A/24 Film)

    I love A/24 movies though I think a lot of people who aren't really into their films might think A/24 just do Horror and Weird/Wacky they can really do Drama great too though there is always a bit of arthouse going on. The Whale is no exception, adapted from a play and starring Brendan Fraser (...

    Stogies Billings MT

    I really have to give it to this place for knowing their audience I'm leaving a Google link as it shows in the pics a line of Esoterica tins as it's only references to pipe tobacco. As the saying goes a picture says 1000 words I didn't have to bother calling and asking if they had "premium...
