I have been away from pipe smoking since 2011. I was sad to hear that McClellans pipe tobacco company has closed their doors three years ago ;( All of the Frog Morton blends were my absolute favorites when I smoked back in the day. They were quite flavorful with a low nicotine content. I will be on the hunt to find a replacement or low Nic alternative for my Frog Morton’s blend! Being a new pipe smoker, I am very grateful to be a part of this pipe smoking community and will enjoy learning from my fellow Briar Brothers who can assist me on my pipe smoking journey!

Welcome from the SF Bay Area! I just recently finished a tin of GL Pease Oddysey, which I thought shared some of the darker stoved VA sweetness of some McC Latakia blends. Maybe not a replacement, but an excellent blend worth checking out on its own merits at the least. I think the Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel was an attempt to fill the void left by Frog's Cellar, but I have not tried it, so I can't compare it to the Cellar, which I liked.

Welcome! But the Frog series was so loved, the reason for which will probably make it more or less impossible to duplicate.

Hey, from central N.C. My wife moved down here from Long Island, Ridge near Riverhead and Brookhaven. She was a food writer and reporter for Newsday for decades. I spent some time commuting there 2007 to 2010. We had a great time tooling around Long Island and NYC.

Welcome from the Left Coast! I used to head out to the South Fork and miss some of the aspects of life out there.

Please put your location in your Profile as people are forgetful.
Why:
That will save questions in the future as to where you live when you later mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos, wildfires, air quality, etc. In many instances that saves time for those who read your posts.
How:
Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose "Account Details", which brings up "My Account". "My Location" is halfway down. Whatever you're comfortable with- town, city, county, state. Just country if you must.
