    Are all Cyprian Latakia equal?

    I have not had a positive preference for anything Latikia for years but recently I have started liking it again. And with that comes a usual OCD to find out as much as I can about it. I understand that it’s a process and that the actual leaf might be Smyrna. My question is; is Cyprian Latikia...

    McClelland Bulk = What in tinned?

    Just curious as to what if any of McClelland bulk blends are the same blend as what is in the tin. Example, is there a bulk equivalent of Matured Va #22? Or other blends?

    Thinking my 1st briar will be a Stanwell Silkebrun 83

    I like the way it looks and that is all I have to go on as I can't find any reviews other than good things said about the brand. Right now I'm smoking mostly Vapers (I think) Nightcap, S.L, and 1792. The bowl shape is a billiard. Here is a link...

    It feels like 1 million RH but my weather sensor says it's only 91%. Anyways I smoke out of a cob and have noticed sour/unflavorfull bowls today. I'm thinking it's the RH. I'm using a pipe cleaner to soak up the stem moisture and all but I'm thinking it's time to lay the pipe up until the...

    Hey from Norfolk, Va

    Jake here. I've been a long time cigar smoker (9 years) and just recently started smoking a cob pipe. Right now I like English full bodied blends like Squadron Leader, Nightcap, and Commonwealth.
