    Aromatic Pipe Tobacco... Educate Me?

    I second the MacBaren Vanilla Cream Flake, that has become one of my favorites. Another that I smoked recently, was the Nat Sherman no. 314, and it has become a favorite all day smoke. Both of these I will recommend to try out. For something that is aromatic, yet not heavily cased, I would...

    Irish Heritage

    Half Irish on my father’s side. Having a cup of Barry's tea right now, but after work I'll certainly have a pint or two of the dark stuff, room temp, or perhaps some Tullamore dew; and of course I'll be taking out the Peterson tonight.

    Smoking Willow Bark

    Not sure how Willow would be for smoking. I use it to make a tincture for headaches. You can boil and reduce it, it is basically the basis for aspirin. I wonder if smoking it will also give the same effects of a light blood thinner ( along the same lines as deer tongue).

    Rattray's Tobacco

    I smoked the Bagpiper's Dream, if you want a quality aromatic, that is the one. Room note and flavor are unsurpassed. Burns great as well, but does have a tendency to ghost a bit.

    What Do You Do?

    I work full time as resident tobacconist and Executive Account Manager for Cigar.com, plus I work on the side as a military historian when I have the time. The latter, unfortunately does not get the attention it once did, but I got to pay the bills somehow.

    Anyone Try Drew Estate Pipe Tobacco?

    I have smoked 3 thus far--7th Ave. Blond, Grand Central, and Harvest on the Hudson. I like the latter two, but the 7th Ave Blond was just too sweet. the other two were quite nice, although again the Grand Central is rather sweet but not sickening. I have to say so far my favorite is the...

    I have been doing some extensive research in to making Clay Pipes (your standard variety 18th Century tavern pipe). I am curious, are there any of you out there that have ever done this? Do you use a mold and Gin Press, or make it using some sort of free hand method. Any tips and or...
