    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...

    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...

    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...

    Five Blend Macro Review

    Greetings fellow pipe smokers. It has been a very long time since I have posted on this site. Considering that I've been breaking in new several new blends, I thought I would come on and do a brief write up about my experiences. Lets begin: 1) Sutliff Private Stock - Molto Dolce Here is my...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    Grouse-Moor

    GROUSE-MOOR. Apparently its not written Grousemoor as it appears everywhere else on the web. For a while, I thought it was named after some city in the UK. After getting my first tin today (which looks like it was manufactured in the 80's)I realized Gawith is actually refering to a moor on which...

    Northwoods

    I am just now starting to understand why people like Northwoods so much. I got an ounce of it about a month ago when I put in a Boswell TAD order. When I first started smoking it, I was disappointed by how incredibly mild it was. I had been smoking English blends from Peretti like Omega so I was...

    Nifty Trick to Fix a Gargling Pipe

    When your pipe starts to gargle halfway through a bowl, turn it vertically so that the stem is facing the ground. Place an absorbent material against the stem and hold it there for several seconds. Pull the pipe away and then press it against the absorbent material again. do this several times...

    My First Bowl of Penzance

    So I finally got my first tin of Penzance today. I have been really excited about smoking it for obvious reasons. As a preface, I would like to say that I like all types of tobaccos. Everything from the sweetest aromatics to the most off-putting cigar blends. I've smoked a number of high quality...

    Aromatic Hybrids

    Do any of you like to mix different aromatic blends together? If so, have you discovered any combinations that you would recommend? Right now I am experimenting with several Boswell blends I recently acquired. Christmas Cookie + Piper's Pleasure was pretty good but Piper's Pleasure + Raspberry...

    The 656

    Solani's Aged Burley Flake. I've only been smoking a pipe seriously for a few months, but I can tell that this burley flake is in a league all of its own. I was immediately attracted to burleys as soon as I tried Peretti's BPC and 333. I loved the nutty taste, which for me is reminiscent of...

    Carbon Cake

    Carbon cake is starting to become a serious issue for me now. I've read that you should always maintain an 1/8 inch carbon cake. Do you guys agree? I'm currently battling a thick carbon cake in my very first, trusty $20 POS briar. When I first bought it, I could stick my index finder down to the...

    Boswell Epiphany

    Just put in my first order for some Boswell blends: Piper's Pleasure, Berry Cobbler, Rasberry Cream, Northwoods and Christmas Cookie. Yum yum, can't wait. Afterwards, I starting thinking about how interesting it is that such a serious pipe making company primarily blends and sells aromatics. I...

    Nuclear Fallout 2012: pipe smoker’s edition

    So you end up in the midst of a nuclear fallout and you have to lock yourself away in an underground bunker for a year. If you could only bring 3 pipe tobaccos with you, what would they be?

    Books about Pipe Smoking and Tobacco?

    Forgive me if this has been discussed in previous forums. I'm new to the site and haven't had much time to look around yet. Can anyone recommend some books on pipe smoking and tobacco? Primarily i'm interested in the historical aspect - the history of pipes and pipemakers, information on famous...
