Small House Blends That Are a Must Try...

[64alex]

If you like English mixture you should try Kramer "Father Dempsey"

Iwan Ries Gourmet English, though it's not a true small house blend, as I believe it is blended for Iwan Ries by McClellan.

LongBottom Leaf, Old TOby and Ruins of Isengard from JustForHim

4noggins' Weybridge

It's my cue to say, for those who love burley, Semois Tabac-Manil thick cut and medium cut and shag cut Le Petite Robin.

Anyone else have any recommendations to update an old thread.

How about Rich’s cigar store pipe tobacco?

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Peretti's, Uhles and Watch City all have a number of very, very good house blends. Depends on what genre you like the best. Gatlinburlier has some nice burley house blends.

Boswell's Northwoods and Countryside, great English blends.

And if you like your burley with Cavendish, Boswell's Premium Burley.

This is one for the Aromatic smokers. Hiland's Cigars Black Gold.

Guess reviving this old thread you have to remove Hobbits Weed since Tewksbury closed.

It's been a long time since I last smoked any of their blends. I remember liking Alder St, Bill's Blend, Maple Steamer, and Mozambique.

Before smokingpipes.com bought Cornell & Diehl, they had their own house blends under the Low Country brand, which are still available I believe. I've sampled Cooper and am aging a tin, and I also am aging a tin of Guendalose. Russ O.'s blends from PC constitute a sort of specialty brand of their own, in a wide variety of genres. Fire Storm, Chestnut, and Log Cabin are a few of my favorites, but his range with Va/Pers is quite a "keyboard" of blending expertise.

Benningtons in Fl. The connoisseurs choice is a aro that is really tasty stuff if you are after an aro....

 

[floridapipeman]

Is that the same Bennington's that was in Boca?

 

[pylorns]

I thought they closed down their Boca store ?

Has anyone ordered from them in the last few weeks or so?

I have - the order was placed on hold. I emailed them to ask why it was on hold. Like magic it went to completed. I waited a few more days and asked when they ship and if they send out tracking. It has now been over a week with multiple attempts to contact and zero responses and zero product. I foresee a credit card dispute in my very near future.

Just tried my first Daughters and Ryan blend, two-burley Two Timer. They offer quite an array, and you can sample blends in a tin in most cases. Check out their site. They're at a Smithfield zip, in the small N.C. town of Kenley, which used to (may still) have a clothing outlet store. D&R offers about 29 blends.

+1 on Watch City Crumb Cut.

Beck’s Ol’ Limey Bastard from B&B Tobacconists is a great Latakia blend:

Came here to say this. But I would also go to Boswell's at the drop of a hat for any reason and then sit and smoke all day.
