    I Found an Aromatic I Like - Romanza

    OK I am primarily a straight up Virginia smoker. My exposure to aromatics is limited to what the hell I'll try a bowl of trout stream and then buy a tin of firedance because I thought it might be somewhat like university flake (it definitely was not). I have had the tin of Romanza for years...

    What is the Most Complex Blend You Smoke

    So inspired by the "standards" thread, where we pick the archetypical virgina, vaper, etc, let's go to the other extreme: What is the most complex blend you smoke? I have two, the first being GL Pease sextant. It is just a beautifully blended tobacco with the kentucky mingling with the latakia...

    Bought a Teipen in St Louis

    So I was at the St. Louis pipe show and bought this Teipen. At 5 1/4 inches it is a bit longer than the rest of my pipes but it was very attractive and the price was right so I could not resist. This is the lodge where the show was. My wife and I stayed at the union station hotel. It was...

    To Stem or not to Stem

    So I bought this estate, a Stanwell horn Sixtus shape 213. One of the reasons I bought it is because it is a small pipe, at about 4.5 inches, and I like small pipes. I also like Stanwells. I got it for a steal, in my opinion. I was excited because I had never seen this particular shape come...

    Gawith Hoggarth Brown Flake Liquorice

    Has anyone tried this? Is it anise flavored? does the tobacco come through or is it a heavy aromatic?

    While in New York I went to Nat Sherman! I smoked a bowl of the 510 Virginia and bought a cool cigar ashtray.

    Pipeworks and Wilke Rum

    So I am a fan of rum flavored blends, like G&H rum flake. You can still taste the tobacco underneath the topping. I am also fond of McConnell Glen Piper. You can taste the Virginia underneath the cavendish. My question is, for the Wilke blends, in particular the 515 and the rumcake, how heavy...

    My Willmer Lightweight

    I have had this pipe a while. I don't smoke it much (the bowl is very very small) but always enjoy it when I do. It has a huge fill. What I really like is the fishtail stem construction. It is almost rectangular at the button but gracefully circles out towards the shank. A marvelous design...
