So the thought police seem to march ever onwards in every country. I find it a crying shame that we can't buy our favourite baccy without seeing a picture of a diseased lung or a sub-par sperm. Yes, authorities, we get the Draconian message you are propagating - you don't have the money to...
Having taken a respite from pipe smoking in favour of the positively awful "vaping" experience I am back with a vengeance. Nothing tastes nicer than some Dunhill My Mixture in a Kiko Tanzanian Meershaum - I have also tried in in a Missouri Corncob and a Falcon, and it's always a winner even...
Hi guys. Since ordering my first succesful international shipment from 4 Noggins (Becks Ol Limey b*std - fantastic stuff) I'm wondering what blends available in The States you would rate as being similar (or better?) than either Rattrays Black Mallory or Red Rapparee (both current faves). With...

You can't go wrong with Squadron Leader IMHO. Well worth trying Commonwealth too, its less tangy than its brother but is bursting out with cool latakia. Lovely stuff. :D
