    FVF change?

    It’s possible, but it was in my top three most smoked tobacco’s so I went through a lot of tins and their larger offering’s. The past four to five years with decreased availability has been a bummer.

    FVF change?

    Yeah, it doesn’t smell or taste like the FVF I had before which is really disappointing as FVF and especially St. James flake were my two favorite Virginia’s. It used to have serious depth to its flavor profile, and a strong grassy natural hay like aroma, and I just don’t get that anymore.

    Any Suggestions on a Straight Virginia?

    Solani 633, Rattray’s Hal O’ the Wynd, Royal Yacht, and Orlik Golden Sliced. Orlik has a bit of Perique in it but it’s not noticeable.

    Gettin on the Yacht

    So I was wondering if someone more knowledgeable than I about the pipe tobacco business can tell me anything they know about why Dunhill changed their subtle yet delicious casing on one of my favorite tins of tobacco. What dI’d fellow smokers think about the change? I stopped smoking it for a...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2023?***

    That is a cool pipe, I’m looking to buy my first English Pipe and see how it smokes compared to my Italian Savinelli’s and Luciano’s. Do you notice any differences in taste or smoking characteristics between them?

    Sam Gawith

    Can anyone please let me know why there is no FVF or St.James Flake available lately? Is it Covid related or are there lots of new pipe smokers whom have discovered how wonderful and unique Gawith’s tobacco’s are?
