    Going to try Grousemoor today

    I just tried Grousemoor and for me it was neither love nor hate. The strong aroma to lemon was all the time while and I keep puffing and puffing until the bowl was finished. It is an interesting and curious smoke every smoker should try at least one! I am not sure I will buy it again but I am...

    Going to try Grousemoor today

    I am planning to try SG Grousemoor today. I opened the tin yesterday and my first impression was of some cheap cologne with heavy lemon fragance. I have read some reviews at tobaccorevies.com on it and the concensus is that you either hate it or you love this blend. I wonder if you care to give...

    Gee, man. It would be great if I could do the same. Some things are not just allowed to a family man.

    Theory: hydrating tobacco with whiskey

    What I have done is to steam the tobacco with water with some 12 year old Rum. The fragance is exquisite but you actually dont directly affect the tobacco with the rum.

    Vintage Balkan Sobranie Original Mixture

    Wow, 400 to 700!!. That is like $10 to $20 for a bowl. Is it worth it? I suppose is not because of your recommendation of GLP Blackpoint as a valid alternative. Gee, I hope Greg does not get any ideas for price revisions.

    Aging Irish Flake

    I dont see much point in buying more stock than you consume in a year. The risk of negatively affecting your tobacco by keeping it in not proper conditions at home is much higher that the little improvement, if any, you will get by "ageing" the tobacco.

    The trouble with all this good tobacco...

    I like your system. I would have to choose six ones and just worry about getting some bulk suppliers that can acommodate my choices.

    Rattary's Marlin Flake

    Same here. I couldnt detect the perique either. Anyway, the quality of the Virginia tobacco make it one of my favorite smokes.

    Pease Pilgrimage

    I was checking the reviewer Quantumboy, and I was looking for coincidences with my rankings. Just yesterday I had Haddos Delight and I didnt like either. I would have given it one star but Quantumboy gave it two stars. So, I read the detail of the review and I found that it in reality we didnt...

    Substitute

    Reading the description in Tobacco Reviews: "This mixture is based on the cool, smoky aroma of Cyprian Latakia with Golden Virginia, aromatic Black Cavendish & sweet Greek Oriental Basma grades." Reminded me of GLP Renaissance without the Basma. But without having tried Old Dublin I can not say...

    Doing a budget for my pipe tobacco inventory

    Yes, I dont why I missed such a big point!!! Pipes are actually more expensive than the tobacco you are going to smoke at least in the first year.I guess if you are going to be really serious about this hobby, you will have to allocate at least a 1000 bucks more as an initial investment for pipes.
