    Ted Tobacco

    Does anyone have any experience with Ted Tobacco? I placed an order with them a week ago and my order is still "processing". Are they that busy of a business or just slow about getting things done? I ordered some Prelip and cigar leaf from Sutliff for blending.

    A Pretty Good Mixture

    Last week I was perusing my cellar and came across a couple of blends I wasn't crazy about, They are C&D Oriental Silk and C&D Star of The East, OS didn't have enough orientals and SOTE had too much latakia. I basically mixed them in equal amounts. Man, it was pretty dang tasty and smooth (both...

    Sutliff Tobacco Co. - CA-100

    Does anyone have experience with this blend? I recently ordered a lb of Match Crown Achievement, and the bag it came in from the factory has a label that says CA 100. The vendor placed a label on it as well saying Match Crown Achievement. On another vendor's site, who sells CA 100, as well as...

    Sutliff 523 Voodoo Queen

    Does Voo Doo Queen have any orientals in it? I thought that it was basically Mocha Slices with latakia and perique added, but every place Igo (P&C, SP,TR and Tobaccopipes) say it is only burley, virginia, latakia and perique.

    Stoved Virginia

    I recently discovered McC 5110 Dark Full English and love it. Now that McC is gone for good, does anyone know where to get some stoved virginias so I can blend my own 5110? I already have the lat and orientals and I don't know how it would be with black cavendish.

    MacB's burley london blend

    I just got back from a local cigarette store where I found (and purchased) a tin of Burley London Blend. I'm a balkan junkie who loves latakia and oriental tobaccos. I'm not sure if I want to open it and try it or pass it along to someone who would really enjoy it. The date on the tin is Oct...

    World Tobacco

    The other day I went to the b&m by my house, haven't been there in a while, the girl who works there said she had found something since the last time I was in. She goes into the walk-in humi and pulls out a big bag of bulk tobacco. She found some straight latakia. I said "I'll take 2 ozs". As...

    Esoterica @ P&C

    When did P&C raise the price on the 8oz bags? A few months back I purchased an 8oz bag of ASTB for $24.25, now it's selling for $49.95.

    Nice Suprise

    The other day I placed an order for some cigars and decided to throw in some pipe tobacco. I got some McC Oriental #14 and McC British Woods. The #14 is from '09. Its been too hot to smoke (I smoke in my man-cave, the garage). Can't wait to try both blends as they seem to be right in my...

    Smyrna

    Just finished smoking a bowl of straight smyrna. Man, it is some tasty stuff.While I don't have a sensitive palate to pick up on all the flavors present, I found it to be sweet, musty and minty. I think a lot of you VA guys will like this. It seemed to mirror the flavors of my beverage (Green...

    Newminster vs Stokkebye

    I recently did a comparison tasting with PS Proper English an Newminster Ultimate English. I found that the Newminster seemed to a bit more refined and had a bit more going on. The PS was good also, just a bit more straight forward. Anyone who likes PSPE should try NUE, I think you will like it...

    Newminster vs Stokkebye

    Is there really a difference between the two? They changed the names slightly but the descriptions are basically the same. Has anyone smoked similar blends (PS English Oriental Supreme-NM English Oriental or other corresponding blends) to see if there is a difference?

    Red Rapparre

    Does anyone have any experience with Rattray's Red Rapparee? Does it contain any latakia? I tried doing a search but kept getting some RedHat page instead. If there is latakia in it, how much is there, a lot, a little or what?

UPS doesn't pick up on the weekend and P&C was closed for new years on Mon and Tues, so th order didn't ship until Wed. Anyway I'll bet you guys...

    Stokkebye Blends

    The local b&m has a deal where if you bring in your pipe they'll give you a free bowl of any of their bulks as a sample. Last week I tried my first english blend (PS english oriental supreme) and I really liked it. While searching the net for prices I noticed that the eos has the same...
