    strong full bodied VA

    Mac Baren's HH Old Dark Fired, quite simply one of the best tobacco's out there, though it does also have Kentucky. But the Va's are 40 yr old and the Kentucky is around 30 yr old. Dunhill Flake Orlik Golden Sliced

    Mouth-bites/'Softee-bits'

    hmmmm....I'm not hugely against them, they're just not for me. The one's I purchased were from a B&M and are by a firm called Oppenheimer. And maybe the taste is an almost placebo effect, as in I think I can taste the latex, they certainly smell, maybe that will wear off. Maybe I should persevere.

    Mouth-bites/'Softee-bits'

    After seeing so many pipesters using these, and kinda liking the idea, I finally picked a couple up to try out. My word, they are not for me. Foul, horrid little things that feel like my pipe is wearing not one condom, but about ten. Each to his own, and all that, but really? I understand the...

    Dunhill nightcap Vs My mixture 965

    Just coming off the back of a big 965 trip. It certainly is not as full on as Nightcap. Much nuttier and creamier. We have these chocolate sweets in the UK called 'Walnut Whips'. And that is what 965 is exactly like, smoking a Walnut Whip. Nutty, creamy and slightly sweet from the Va's. Easy to...

    Dunhill Brings Back Elizabethan Mixture

    OK, got some!! I'll keep it brief, if you like VaPers, get some. Now. This IS Perique. I thought I'd need to get at least a quarter down the bowl before 'detection' , but no, I tasted it immediately. And kept on tasting it. Yes, it's not the most complex of 'baccy's, but is sheer class. We pay...

    Dunhill Brings Back Elizabethan Mixture

    I'm sure 'they' wouldn't be mad enough to ban internet sales altogether, surely that would be classed as some kind of trade embargo. The only thing they could do is to ban tobacco completely and make the stuff illegal. But we all know, that will never, ever happen. I've long said that if we all...

    I Know It May Be 'Dirty', But....

    G&H's Coffee Caramel. Really too thick and sickly on it's own, but I always have a stash of the stuff knocking around. Why? Because I absolutely love adding a few threads to my favourite 'baccy's. Just like adding a drop of water to a good single malt, the CC can do wonders to stuff like Royal...

    Golden Sliced or Dunhill Flake

    I love 'em both, but which would I choose over the other? Cor blimey, that's a hard one.... Dunhill Flake gets my vote, based on nothing but consistency... No twigs or stem-bits, just pure cleanliness, the longest I've managed to age some of this stuff is a mere 6 months... Fantastic stuff...

    Dunhill Nightcap

    I've just gotten into Nightcap these last couple of months. I love it. Valium in a pipe. The bigger the bowl the better for me. Have a bowl at about 10am. Goodnight. HA HA HA!!!!

    Some re-impressions of an old fave.

    And on the flip side.... ...I started out loving (and still do) Va's and Vapers. Dunhill Flake, Royal Yacht and Bull's Eye were my constant bowl-fillers, my love of the V was well renowned in my local B&M. I have of late however discovered the absolute joy of the smokable-Valium that is...

    Lost A Smoking Spot

    As I'm sure many of you know, smoking in public was banned a long old time ago here in the UK. Around 2007 I think... Most rental accommodation is also no smoking as are many outside places now, bus stations and such. Because many people enjoy a smoke with their alcohol of choice, the...

    Nice Brigham Lovat

    You simply must visit the B&M shop in PZ. He stocks a large range of pipe tobaccos (Dunhill, Petersons, Orlik, G&H, etc.) and has a pretty decent collection of pipes, including Dunhill, though they're a little out of my price range. I'll stick to the Pete's, Butz and Dr Plumbs... You can smoke...
