    Need a strong hit!!

    John Patton has something new called "Cool Hand Fluke" - great taste and a good hit - a good amount of perique as well. Night Train - C and D 5 Brothers is a good "addition" I would say to a blend that needs a bit of belting.

    Tobacco Prohibition Coming?

    I'm with History Major a fellow Canadian on the stance of pipe tobacco. In the US the baccy laws are turning toward Canadian laws. Canadians are taxed to the max and the US is headed that way. But the rub is this - billions of $ in Canada and the US are counted on thru the taxing of tobacco -...

    Stocking Up ?

    Man - I don't like bringing this up but a lot of news from the US is much like the laws we now have in Canada. I'm starting to stock up a bit. Favorites I might buy by the pound, or at least by the half pound and jar. I think you boys have the right idea in trading some baccy's that you may or...

    Tobacco suggestions

    I just got turned on to Petersons Luxury Blend - like that. Weybridge for 4noggins is very good. Va/per. Essence of Vermont is nice for a change and H and H Butternut Burley. Excellent room note and very mild for summer. I always keep a few ounces of Carter Hall around for blending some of my...

    Smokers Forum Closing Down

    I'm in both too - but I find myself checking with Brothers more. Brothers has a little more edge - a little more variety in thought. It's not that SF isn't good - the repair section is where I've learned everything - and good people are at SF no doubt about it. But it's a little light on humor...

    Five Brothers as mixer

    what a great idea. The stuff burns like cigarette baccy - but you put that with some aero's and maybe some BCA and perhaps you have something. I'm going to try that because I love nicotine. If it tames some aero's I'm in.

    How much do you have cellared?

    great thread and unbelievable stashes. I love it - my wife is horrified. So what are we saving for - war with Korea, prohibition, radical price increases. Those pics are amazing. I have 5 - 2 oz plastic bags - so I guess I'm on my way to a pound. :oops:

    Mason jars

    obviously Danish you're going to pass some of that along to your pipe smoking children. I think I'm going to have to start ordering by the pound. ww

    Mason jars

    Yup - Canadians - Wall Mart all sizes, and Home Hardware. I've got my dozen. Work like a charm - I don't have enough tobacco to actually dump into the jars as yet - but I'm gaining. Keep telling my wife prohibition is coming .. and she said .. "yeah - so is North Korea".

    Mac Baren Honey & Chocolate

    The key here is 'no bite' - not usually associated with MacBaren's. It's on my list. Previously I had stayed away from MacB's - thanks for the review.
