    What Was Your English Crossover?

    I am getting the itch to try some Latakia again. I tried it before and never really liked it. I think I just went for the gusto every time and didn't try to ease into it. What blend did you cut your teeth on? Thanks in advance! Jeff

    Burley Equivalent to McClelland 2000

    I am on the hunt for a Burley blend equivalent to McClelland's 2000 Fragrant Matured Cake. I love how the Va. is out front and the sweet taste plays the background. I am looking for the same thing in a burley blend. Where the burley (and maybe some Va.) stand out front with a nice sweetness...

    Are These The Same?

    OK, I remember a while back 4noggins carried Butternut Burley which was one of Scotty's Blends from Pipes & Cigars.  I don't see it listed on their site anymore.  I did see now they have their own house blend that is called Butternut Burley.  Are these the same?  Does anyone have any info on it?

    I thought I would turn to the experts after a few years of searching for info. I bought it as an estate pipe about 4 or 5 years ago. It is by far one of my best smokers. Obviously it is an Eric Nording pipe. It is stamped Nording Made In Denmark in a circle. Inside the circle it is stamped 124...

    Pipe Rack Rough Draft

    Here is my first attempt at a pipe rack. I have several notes written down for changes to the next revision. The first thing I will change is the dimensions on the stem holder part. It is to high. The part that the bowls of the pipes rest on is to far out towards the front too. I also have...

    A replacement for Hines Mixture?

    I was gifted a tin of House of Windsor's Hines Mixture T426 by a fellow BoB member. The story is I never knew what blend my grandfather smoked as he died early in my life. BUT, I could never forget the smell of his pipe. When I cracked open the Hines Mixture I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt...

    Frog Morton OTB

    Is it just me or does this blend of FM just not belong with the others? I was not expecting what I tasted in this blend. I thought to taste a nice smokey latakia blend. The latakia was week and not much body at all to this blend. I know they advertise it as a balkan blend but I thought it...
