Has Anyone Tried Japanese Pipe Tobacco?

Is Momoyama still in production? My understanding is it was produced by Mac Baren.

It is made by MacBaren and it's still available. My son brought me 12 100gram tins of it earlier this year. I think Macbaren is still running for a little longer before it gets dismantled and absorbed into STG.

While stationed in Japan, I smoked Momoyama fairly regularly when my regular stateside shipments were delayed. Bought a tin of it at a show a couple of years ago and am still working my way through it.

Fantastic!

Just got some 2 weeks ago. Waiting for the wind to die down and a calm day to try it.

Momoyama Smoking Mixture 1934 and Asuka both list Denmark as their country of origin. Havent found any English reviews.

Here is a link to a review of the "new" Asuka Smoking Mixture (manufactured by Mac Baren) on the tobaccoreviews.com Website. I hope that this helps.

Just smoked some Koiki Kizami for the first time. Amazing stuff. It looks just like coco coir. I don't have a kiseru, so I used a Rattray's Mary which has a very small bowl. Loaded it about half full and gently lit. Wow, what an intense little flavor bomb and such a unique smoke. It's so great that I will be hunting for a nice kiseru next. You all definitely owe it to yourself to try this tobacco once.

I want some for my tsuge which is basically a weird briar Kiseru. I imagine it would be great like that.
