Southport, from McCranie's
Southport, from McCranie's: Oh, my, what a heavenly smoke!! I don't think I could rave about this blend enough to do it justice. From the rich aromas of Virginias when you open the bag, to the heady flavor of exquisitely blended Virginias, this is a truly superb smoke. I literally just kept...- tpicking

Pipe tobacco cigarettes - cool idea or just goofy?
I was just having an email discussion with my sister about how much I enjoy all of my pipe tobaccos, and how many wonderful flavors and aromas there are in the world of pipe tobacco. She's a cigarette smoker who enjoys gourmet foods and coffees, and I told her that I really think she'd really...- tpicking

Old Dominion from Milan Tobacconists
Update: When I described the flavor of the burley in this one, I really meant to emphasize the word "robust". When I get new tobacco orders in, I like to try two new ones per day - partly to keep my tastebuds fresh, and partly just to spread the enjoyment out longer. I was planning on...- tpicking

Old Dominion from Milan Tobacconists
From the Milan website: "Old Dominion (Aromatic) Pipe Tobacco - Rough cut maple-flavored Burley." Sometimes a simple description can hide a gem. Sometimes not so much. I'd probably put this tobacco in the latter category. The aroma of the leaf is pleasant, but the maple character is maybe a...- tpicking

Sunset Rum from Milan Tobacconists
From the Milan website: "Sunset Rum (Aromatic) Pipe Tobacco - A Virginia blend with Burleys and a modest amount of black Cavendish. Aged in rum for a rich, mild, sweet smoke and fantastic aroma. Fast becoming our best seller!" Hmm... (I'll explain in a minute.) First, the aroma from the bag...- tpicking

Lucky 7 from Milan Tobacconists
I'm always amazed at the incredible range and variety of flavors in pipe tobaccos, especially in the hands of a skilled blender. And Lucky 7 is definitely the work of a skilled blender. The flavor is delicious and complex, and it made me smile the whole time I was smoking my first bowl. The...- tpicking

New order from Milan just arrived!
I just got this order of 1oz samples from Milan - I have some fun ahead of me. :-) (When I get new orders, I usually like to keep myself to trying two per day, and I have some Lucky 7 and Sunset Rum drying as we speak.) ************** Black Forest (Aromatic) Pipe Tobacco This dark tobacco...- tpicking

Has anyone shopped at McCrainie's??
Jud writes: I did a thread on them yesterday. And hobie1dog adds: Funny you missed the thread that was only one day old on McCranies. Oops - sorry. It's my dial-up connection. The pages take a little while to load, and I clicked "Add New" before the subjects all loaded on the page. Just...- tpicking

Has anyone shopped at McCrainie's??
Here's my first order - I'm psyched! Colonial Purposely plain to encourage a real tobacco taste. The rich, robust flavor of Burley with a trace of Virginia cube cut, Turkish and Perique. Cool, dry and easy burning. Definitely for the seasoned smoker. Currituck It marries red cake matured...- tpicking

"Slummin' it" - and having fun :-)
Last year I went on a major tobacco buying binge (preparing for my retirement earlier this year), and at the same time that I was buying as many luxury aromatics and English blends and Virginias that I could afford, I was also buying different varieties of popular bargain tobacco brands to see...- tpicking

Has anyone shopped at McCrainie's??
I was just doing some web browsing to look for new tobacconists that I haven't tried before, and I found McCrainies.com. OH, my word - I'm in love at first sight!! Along with a modest tinned tobacco selection, they have 50 house blends, and I want about 40 of them. If their skill at blending...- tpicking

The Best place to order tobacco online
Pipes and Cigars is my favorite (absolutely marvelous customer service!), but I also like B&B, Tobacco General, and Milan Tobacco. Least favorite - Thompson Cigar. As I mentioned in an email to Russ O. at P&C last week, the slogan for Thompson's customer service group should be, "If you don't...- tpicking

What is Your Favorite Shape?
Bent billiard, bent apple, bent egg are all pretty much tied for first place with me. Once in a while, a straight billard. A few weeks ago, I saw an ad on this site for a Radice bone-colored Oom Paul, and I fell in love. I'm generally not that crazy about Oom Pauls, but this one was...- tpicking

Lee van Cleef pipe technical goof??
That would sure fit the rich bounty hunter role - I just didn't realize that pipe stems were made of amber. Cool tidbit to know. (But I'm guessing the pipes would be pretty costly. :-)- tpicking

Lee van Cleef pipe technical goof??
I watched "For a Few Dollars More" yesterday, and Lee van Cleef's pipe had a yellow stem that looked like bakelite, but bakelite wasn't invented until 1907. Were there other stem materials that would be yellow from that period?- tpicking

How much I need to last my lifetime
But if you buy a lifetime's tobacco ahead of time, you won't have the fun in the future of buying/trying all of the new blends that you see deliciously written ads for or read about about in these forums. :-)- tpicking

Try this!!!
I have Scotty's Butternut Burley, but not the Newminster (and I've already overshot my 'baccy budget limit for the month). I'm going to try the basic concept with some of my cherry and other fruit blends. Before I retired last winter, I went on an enormous tobacco buying spree while I still had...- tpicking
