Country Squire White Rose
Smoking some White Rose from the Country Squire in the Rhodesian Meerschaum. Its okay... that's about all the praise I can give it. The website claims that this blend "will be one of the most unique aromatics in your cellar." I beg to disagree. About mid-bowl, the words that come to mind most...- brownbilliard

Hearth & Home Vermont Meat Candy: Breakfast is Served
While browsing around and assembling my most recent TAD order, I stumbled across this blend and it immediately captured my attention. The last sentence in the product description is what made me push the "add to cart" button: "Just think about those Sunday mornings when you'd dip your bacon...- brownbilliard

Solani Aged Burley Flake vs C&D Pegasus
And here I was thinking that ABF was the undisputed heavyweight champion of the luxury burly blends. I've never tried Pegasus before and I love a good burly. Guess its going on my next TAD order.- brownbilliard

Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia - Turning Over a New Leaf
Early on in my pipe smoking days I vividly remember disliking Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia. This struck me as odd because I really liked all of the other pure Virginia flakes I had smoked up to that point. Regardless - I put it away in a mason jar and proceeded to forget about it for about five...- brownbilliard

Calling All Hobbyists
I've had a fascination with tobacco and pipe smoking since I was a young child. I'm sure exposure to pop culture references (Popeye, Sherlock Holmes, Albert Einstein, etc) had a lot to do with it. I feel lucky to say I have never been addicted to nicotine. Around age 13 I had a horrible first...- brownbilliard

Five Blend Macro Review
From my experience, the majority of aromatics are light bodied. Most people favor the Boswell blends - berry cobbler, Christmas cookie, etc. The room notes are exquisite - some people literally ask me to smoke them inside their house once they witness how good they smell. However, I find them...- brownbilliard

Let's Have Some Fun! Tobaccos You HATE!
1792 flake. My god that stuff is wretched. Smells and tastes like manure. The only tin I have ever thrown away after smoking a few bowls. Any/all cherry flavored drug store tobaccos are equally vile. I love every Peretti blend I've tried except for their cuban mixture. The aroma reminds me of...- brownbilliard

Pearlized (Acrylic) Mouthpieces
Which pipe craftsmen (aside from the Boswell's) sell pipes that come with pearlized, acrylic mouthpieces? I would like to find one for $50-100 but I don't know where to look.- brownbilliard

No More Pease, Please
Wow, thank you all very much for the input. It sounds like it's got to be the red virginias, the liquor topping or a combination of the two. I thoroughly enjoy a good burley (Solani 656 for example) and I doubt it's the perique since I'm a huge fan of Escudo Navy Deluxe. The offer still stands...- brownbilliard

No More Pease, Please
I recently acquired 2 ounce tins of Haddo's Delight and Barbary Coast in my newest TAD order. These are the first G.L Pease blends I have ever smoked. I had high hopes for these blends when I first heard about them. From the reviews I read, I was sure I was going to like them. It turns out that...- brownbilliard

Smoke and Drinks Analogy
Ah, smokes and drinks. They go together like magic. For me its Penzance and black coffee in the morning or cognac and a cavendish blend in the evening :puffy:- brownbilliard

Rolling Pipe Tobacco Help/Suggestions
When I was younger, I used to roll cigs out of aromatic cavendish blends (oblivious to the fact that it was pipe tobacco). Due to the topping or the natural oiliness of the tobacco, I noticed that the cig began to get too moist and resonated to smoke about halfway through. If you're gonna roll...- brownbilliard

G&H Scented, Unscented AND Aromatic Brown Flake?
So about a month ago, I was talking to one of the tobacconists at Peretti's about Lakeland blends which led me to buying my first ounce of Ennerdale. After showing me the Ennerdale, he pulled out another jar of a G&H blend I can't remember the name of and said that it was dressed with tonquin...- brownbilliard
