Thanks for all the suggestions! What I ended up getting was the Escudo Navy Flake, another tin of FVF so I can compare the aged with it once I finally open it, and then for my third I went with Hearth and Home Magnum Opus. From what I've read about it, the shifting flavours seem pretty...

As well as being the norm in just some countries. I looked it up and in Denmark they wear it over there, and they're a majority Catholic country I think?

I haven't tried any yet. The reason I was thinking the Beacon Extra was that it is supposed to contain fair amount of perique, so I'd be able to tell what it tasted like. I was thinking maybe C&D Bayou Morning also as an example of a VaPer.

Is it weird that the first thing I noticed about his picture was that he wears his wedding ring on the right hand like me? I love little cultural differences like that! I didn't have a chance to try his tobaccos before, but I did notice on pipesandcigars.com that they were announcing the navy...

I come to you this evening, Brothers, with a request. As a novice to this gentle art I find myself bewildered and lost in the myriad choices of tobacco presented to me. Therefore I submit myself to your suggestions, as ones more knowledgeable than I, on blends that I should try. Okay, enough...

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I will be able to. I think it goes well with my beard and B.A. in Philosophy. I'll be going for my M.A. in Divinity.

Thanks, I hope I got it right. I'm not Greek by blood, but I am Orthodox so I've picked up a little bit. I actually leave for seminary to be a priest in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America in two weeks, so I'll be learning a lot more soon!

Yia sas, Kyrie Anastasopoulos. Your pipes are poli omorfi! I'd love to have one of such high quality!

Don't leave us waiting! How'd it turn out?

They will do this? That's awesome! I'll have to drop them a line!

So, still being pretty new to pipe tobacco, the descriptions of blends mentioning such and such percentage of this tobacco, and such and such percentage of another don't mean a whole lot to me yet. I was wondering if I, (on behalf of us newer Brothers) could get a list of different blends that...

I was actually going to try the Beacon Extra this pay period, but saw FVF in stock and got it instead. Is the Beacon Extra pretty good then?

Not completely true, my wife works for a clothing store, Land's End, and they have a lifetime, no matter what, guarantee on their clothes!

Sounds like smokingpipes is going to be my best bet then! Thanks to all who replied. In the meantime, while I wait for the funds to be able to order one or two, I got a Dr. Grabow Grand Duke today. Hope it smokes well. Even if it's not the best, it'll be nice to have another pipe in the rotation.

Oh awesome, I didn't know that they could order one for you! Thanks for that bit of information.

Thanks for the reply. I've looked at 4noggin before, but just at the tobacco, not the pipes, and I haven't checked cupojoes yet, so I'll give it a try!

A quick question for the more knowledgeable out there, where, in your opinion is the best place to buy Savinelli pipes? I've decided that's going to be my maker of choice (randomly) and have my eye on pipe from the Alligator and Saturnia lines. So far the best prices I've found are on...

Right now I've got some SHPC Great Hiatus and VR blend. The VR is my first VaPer, but I'm liking it. Might try McClelland Beacon Extra next. Great Hiatus is okay, a pretty mild on the latakia which I like, since I haven't developed the taste for large amounts yet, but I don't know if it'd go in...

I don't even have to get to the room note for my wife to turn up her nose, she does so if I so much as open a pouch of anything containing latakia! I'm hoping it's just the ex-cigarette smoker in her though. It hasn't been too long since we both quit so just the smell of cigarettes is enough to...
