    Thuoc Lao Tien Lang Vietnamese Tobacco

    @jpberg do you have any idea where such exotic leaf can be obtained here in 'Murrica? @MisterBadger Terrific review--had me laughing and grimacing.

    Your Own "Worst" Tobacco

    You say that like it’s a bad thing. ;-)

    Trustworthy Tobacco Review Co: Cringle Flake 2024

    I have a new favorite reviewer.

    Cowboy Coffee

    I just tried this as part of a blind tasting challenge. Totally agree with everything you describe. Lately, I've been avoiding some of the smaller blenders because (not sure why) their offerings tend to bite me with some frequency (far less common with the larger blending houses, especially...

    Skippy's Blend of the Week

    I was hoping for a @Skippy B. Coyote review this morning and you delivered in a big way, since EMP is a favorite that has never left my rotation! I agree with just about everything in your review, especially the “comforting” and “forgiving” descriptions. The only aspects that are different...

    Skippy's Blend of the Week

    ^This. I look forward to your reviews but don’t feel entitled to have them meet my schedule. Hope your knee heals up—as the years accumulate I often think of what my father told me: “getting old sucks—but it beats the alternative.”

    Jim's Sutliff Cringle Flake (Holiday Edition 2024) Review.

    At the Richmond CORPS 40th show, Jeremy McKenna said this was something new and special for 2024. Very exciting.

    Morley's PC Tuesday Nov 19th 7:00pm Pen & Pencil Club

    Sorry I couldn’t make it up to PA this time. @ssjones was at my first Boswell Hooligans meet-up. Terrific guy!

    2024 Texas Pipe Show

    What a terrific “problem” to have! Congratulations on what looks like a very successful show—I’m sure a ton of work went into it. I hope to make it out there next year.

    Las Vegas Intl Pipe Show 2024!

    John, So sorry to hear this but grateful they caught it and will be taking action. Please let the community know if there’s anything you need. For example, I may be a Friendly Piper, but I’m really good at barking at bureaucrats until they take action (like scheduling radiation for someone who...

    Old Joe Krantz first impressions

    Krantz is my most frequent smoke. Very satisfying. Glad you enjoyed it, too!

    Pegasus: Love for One Blend

    First, that’s a hilarious image . . . and one I can relate to. I like Morley’s Best—it was surprisingly tangy for a Burley-based blend and the Latakia was an interesting, well-proportioned (minor) addition.

    Skippy's Blend of the Week

    Great review—you inspired me to smoke some IF after a long gap in time (no real reason other than that I didn’t crack open a new tin when I finished the last one). It’s just plain terrific.

    Jim's C&D Sun Bear Black Locust 2024 (Small Batch) Review.

    A few places still have Steamworks ‘24 (I agree with you that it’s really special)!

    WLT Dark Air Cured

    ^This. I was amazed after smoking a bunch of different blending Periques to find that none of them produced that amazing stewed fruit aroma . . . until I added Virginia of some sort, pressed it, and aged it a bit.

    Mac Baren HH blends

    I have a jar with some to spare. PM incoming.

    Your Own "Worst" Tobacco

    I’d, um, love to get my hands on your ass? No, really, LMK if you might be interested in a trade—the thought of unloved HB sitting in a jar makes me sad.

    Skippy's Blend of the Week

    This is a great idea and I’m really excited by your blend choices!
