You might want to add G.L. Pease’s Telegraph Hill to your list. For me, the Virginias and the Perique are in perfect balance in this easy-to-handle, ribbon-cut blend. It's a subtle, delicious all-day smoke! When you’re looking for a more "stout" VaPer, I also recommend C&D Bayou Morning (bulk...

My favorite aromatic blend is G&H Ennerdale Flake! :) But I know it is a blend you either love or hate. The only sweet aromatic I like now and then is DAN’s Da Vinci.

I had a tin of Telegraph Hill last fall and enjoyed it to the last crumb (that was my first tin of GLP’s tobaccos, btw). The tin aroma and the flavour are both delicious. This could be an ideal all-day smoke but unfortunately it’s hard to come by this side of the pond.

Same here.

In this blend I taste a slight flavor that reminds me of hot chocolate and a hint of cinnamon.

Yes, there is definitely a very slight aroma. I’d best describe it as "lavender". One of my favorites, btw.

If I had to choose one favorite: C&B Bayou Morning Other favorite VaPers are: DTM St. Bernard, GLP Telegraph Hill, G&H Louisiana Flake, Dunhill De Luxe Navy Rolls, Peter Heinrichs Curly Block, Motzeks Der 93er (a German local blend). I’m afraid so. Which is odd, as Escudo is produced by the...

Prince. It’s simply elegant.

These are really sad news. Just smoked a bowl of my favorite C&D blend Bayou Morning in honor of Craig Tarler. My condolences to his family and friends. Godspeed, Lars

Very nice pics! You can almost smell the tobacco scent from them. Check out some more pics from this traveling journal (in German). You can click on some pictures to enlarge them. The Cob Flake should be the same as the 1792 Flake. SG also sell it as a plug called Cob Plug. Check it out on...

I’ve smoked both of them, and I’d say they are definitely not the same blend. The Special Latakia Flake has the same Viriginia/Cigar foundation as Germains Brown Flake – plus the Latakia. When you open the tin, you will also notice bright (VA) and dark (LAT) sections of flake. The Penzance is...

Same here. :) It’s my favorite!

I checked out Jay’s "Z Method" on Youtube recently and find it very useful! After you’ve done the "Z", there is also some sort of rolling involved.

Thanks, George! Oldrich Jirsa is a Czech pipe maker who offers great pipes for a very reasonable price.

I’m using a Corona Old Boy for a year now and lighting my pipe has been twice the fun since then. It’s stylish, convenient to handle and very reliable. I’d been using matches before I got it, and I’d still say they are the next best thing.

I also got by a small amount of this legendary blend. When I stuck my nose to the ziplock bag, my first impression was "Latakia"! During my first smoke, I also found the Latakia being quite prominent. (When I compare it to Germain’s Special Latakia Flake from the same blender, I’d say there is...

So far, I like his documentaries best. Especially Wheel of Time (Rad der Zeit) about Tibetan Buddhism and My Best Fiend (Mein liebster Feind) about his films with Klaus Kinski.

A tin from the end of the Eighties, next to my Jirsa pipe.

Hi Boxerbuddy, this year I also got to know some really nice vapers: - Gawith & Hoggarth’s Louisiana Flake: very smooth, with no tongue bite at all. The perique is not too dominant in this one, but it contributes nicely to the overall taste. The same accounts for a slight hint of...
