Finished that page except for filling in black areas, broken down a bunch of boxes for recycle, and am nearing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2013 Rotary Navy Cut in a post-1938 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 bulldog with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Nigel Bruce smoked this model in two Sherlock Holmes movies. Please consider asking Smoking Pipes to bring back this model.

What prompted this big move?

Yeah no kidding, I was like Holy Cow. Hi everybody, I moved from Virginia to Korea, talk about not a move just around the corner. LOL 😆

Let’s see...

1. One, he married a Korean Mail Order Bride.
2. The mail order bride’s family said they’d send the Korean mafia after him if he didn’t move their daughter back to Korea.
3. He got a job making Kimchee in Korea.
4. He’s on the lamb from US authorities.
5. He joined the South Korean Freedom Fighters to help liberate North Korea.

As a cigar smoker I'm not used to "floral" tastes of pipe tobacco, but this definitely has a sweet floral taste to it

Not all pipe tobacco actually tastes like stereotypical pipe tobacco many consider pipe tobacco to be like.

If you want more cigar like, check out these blends by Vincent Manil. He’s a small Belgian artisan grower.


Some Warped blends use cigar leaf.


Then, if you just want natural tobacco flavors, look for straight Virginia, VaPer, Burley or English blends, besides finding blenders who occasionally use cigar leaf.

There’s a massive world of natural pipe tobacco out there. :)

Natural Virginia has floral, citrus, bread, hay, grass like notes, among some others, just depends on the variety, how grown and processed.

Enjoy! :)
