Actually, I think I got the Dunhill London Mixture somewhere else...it was a busy week.

Hello gents! I have not posted in a while. Previously I had asked a few questions about English blends. Well, I made a trip to Chicago (I am currently living in Tokyo right now) and visited Iwan Ries Co. It was heaven!!! I was able to purchase many of the English and other blends that a few...

Hello Gentelmen, It has been a while since I have posted, but I have finally made it back. I found a little tabacco shop in Tokyo. Nice hole in the wall place. They have some nice pipes and a little bit of tabacco. I was finally able to pick up some Frog Morton. I also picked up a tin of...

Hello Gentelmen! I have an odd question. Are there any tabaccos that you prefer to smoke in churchwardens? If so, why? What makes them better in a 'warden? Dean

Thank you gentelmen! I just browsed a few of the recomendations...thank you! I will let you know which one I go with...

Hello Gents, I want to get a second churchwarden. I have one woodstem one that I bought at a ren faire a few years back. It is nice, but I want to try something a little different. Does anyone have any advice for a good smoking churchwarden for around $100? I have looked at the Stanwell Has...

Hello all! I have been one of those guys who was a little afraid to let my tabacco dry. I guess this stems from bad expeiences with cigars that have dried out too much. I have been smoking Boswell's Best and have had the horrible gurgle and gunk at the bottom of my bowl. The taste was OK, but...

Hi Guys! Dean from Tokyo here. I have a question... I have put my Boswells tabacco in jars. The jars I have are the same style as the old mason jars. About a week ago I noticed that the jars have condensation on the inside. Very fine like a window on a foggy night. I have opened up the jars...

I have 2 Boswells. They both smoke great. Boswells make some great tabacco too!!!

Hello Gents! I was thinking about getting a MacQueen pipe. Possiblly a "Ranger" pipe. I have visited other forums a while back and I saw a lot of mixed reviews. It seems people either love or hate MacQueen pipes. I have heard they gurgle like crazy and that the stems crack bacuase of the metal...

Hey Gentlemen! Dean from Japan here... I just recieved my tabacco order from Boswells. Yummy Vanilla Cream, Chocolate Cream, Penn Dutch Treat, and Boswell's Best. An order of $30.00 American. I got a beautiful pipe too....a nice rusticated bent with the bottom of a shotgun shell as a band on...

Thank you Gentelmen. I believe I will be ordering some Frog Morton. I have made just two posts and in both posts I was recomended the Frog. By the way, I do have to say that this group is one of the friendliest I have found. Thank you again for the suggestions. I look forward to letting you...

Hey guys, If you have read my other thread (I am now and have only started one other...) you will know that I have been an aromatic smoker. I guess that is beacuse I have not heard of anything else really until researching more about pipe tabaccos on the internet. For years I only knew...

FTRPLT, Thanks for the suggestions. In my brief search I found Pipidia and some of the websites you mentioned. I also looked at tobaccoreviews.com. Lots of info there. Doc, Thanks for the suggestions! I will give Navy Flake and Frog Morton a try. Bent Stem, where can I find the GL PLease...

I recently ordered a couple of Boswell pipes and 5 different tabaccos. The pipes smoke great! The no. 1 tabacco I have tried so far in Boswell's Best! A close second is Penn. Dutch Treat. I have a bag of Northwoods, but have not tried it yet. Christmas Cookie is good, I also tried Boswell...
