    New (to me) The Country Squire Tobaccos

    Just finished a couple ounces of 2 new-to-me The Country Squire tobaccos & wanted to post my impressions since I'm no good at any formal review. Bill's Blend The Country Squire website lists Bill's Blend as "a sweet aromatic featuring confectionary notes of vanilla and marshmallow. The room...

    Latest version of Half & Half

    Really enjoyed a pouch of Half & Half that I bought in 2015 & recently finished. I'm seeking opinions as to the how the most current version compares. I see that now it comes in 7 oz. cans instead of the old larger tubs. I've been reading as to how other old codger blends have changed in...

    Pipe Tobacco Heartbreak

    As I reached for the jar I noticed this: With magnification it's fluffy, not crystal-like. I've used the contents as a blender for a long time, opening it infrequently. It's never even been obviously damp. It's been many years since I had mold in jarred tobacco & I remember it well - I...

    Recommend a Fix for Varnish Wearing Off Bowl Rim

    While I'm usually pretty careful to not burn the rim as I light my pipes, over time the varnish/finish wore off this Hilson Vintage Walnut Paneled Billiard. Anyone have an easy DIY fix? Top it? Strip the entire pipe? Any help appreciated!

    Sutliff Tobacco Co. Dulce de Leche D58

    Sutliff Dulce de Leche is an aromatic I'd never previously tried. After thoroughly enjoying a couple ounces of it I thought I'd put in a good word since I see it seldom mentioned. It's a bulk Burley/Virginia blend with a caramel/vanilla topping/casing. It arrived quite dry as a chopped ribbon...

    Chocolate Aromatic Blends

    Lately I've been craving a chocolate aromatic pipe tobacco. I'm looking for hard-core seriously chocolate aromatics - not just blends with a chocolate note like Mac Baren Burley London Blend, Golden Extra, G&H Bob's Chocolate Flake, & many others. The best one I tried lately was Sutliff...

    Best Lighter for Pipes with Very Deep Bowls

    During the sales for IPSD I picked up a couple Missouri Meerschaum Generals just for fun. I've never smoked a pipe with a bowl that deep & wondered about the best lighter to use for such a deep bowl.. I generally use butane soft flame lighters or Zippos. I have this longstanding dislike for...

    Another Christmas Blend Aromatic Bender

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) A couple years ago around the holidays I went on a sort of pipe tobacco "bender", smoking only aromatic blends for a couple months. While I enjoy a variety of all types of blends (although for me Latakia is best appreciated as a condiment), I...

    The Country Squire Tres Leches

    After enjoying my first experience with a blend - Figgy Pudding - from The Country Squire tobacconist this past winter I picked up some of their other tobaccos to try. I just finished a couple ounces of their brand new offering - Tres Leches - & thought I'd jot down my impressions. The pouch...

    Pipesandcigars.com Russ' Coco-Nut

    Finished a couple oz. of pipesandcigars.com Russ' Coco-Nut & thought I'd post my humble impressions since my taste buds aren't talented enough to really come up with a review . A while back I tried some Sutliff No. 19 Coconut Almond & really enjoyed it. When I came across Russ' blend I thought...

    Sutliff Panna Cotta

    Earlier this month pipesandcigars.com had a sale on tins of many Sutliff Private Stock blends, so as a fan of some of Sutliff's other aromatics I picked up a couple tins of Panna Cotta to try. Like the creamy light Panna Cotta desert custard, this tobacco version is a sweet, mild, creamy...

    Prince Albert Soft Vanilla

    Since in the past I've enjoyed regular Prince Albert pipe tobacco, the last time I ordered some to add to my humble cellar I also ordered a pouch of Prince Albert Soft Vanilla. A neighbor of mine, one of the very few pipe smokers I know, smokes it as his main blend. Since I'd also seen it...

    The Country Squire Old Toby

    After reading many reviews praising The Country Squire's blends I picked up a few to sample. After recently finishing a couple ounces of Old Toby my review is quite simple - this stuff is outstanding! It's a burley/virginia/perique concoction with a very sweet vanilla/caramel/sugar topping...

    MacBaren 7 Seas vs. Lane Aromatics

    How do the MacBaren 7 Seas line of tobaccos compare with some of the more popular Lane aromatics like 1Q, RLP-6, BCA etc (other than just price)?

    Peretti Yuletide

    Received the following by E-mail today: "The Holiday season at Peretti is Official. Yuletide is a newer seasonal mixture that changes from year to year. This year, we have created a blend of Virginia tobaccos with whispers of plum pudding and vanilla in the background. This blend is neatly...

    Pipe shops in Cincinnati

    Can anyone recommend a good pipe shop/tobacconist in downtown Cincinnati? Do they blend their own tobaccos? Thanks!
