    50% OFF tobacco up to $100+ $17 Cash Back + 5% off! Updated!

    Thanks, Thomas. Just joined in on this Groupon. Was a bit bummed to miss out on such a great deal after I saw it last week but glad it came around again. Now to pick out some tobacco tonight. :lol: The 5% off doesn't stack, but saving an extra 2.50$ or so isn't a big deal when you're already...

    Gimme' some Burley

    Storm Front is really good. I tried a burley flake from one of the members of the pipe club I go to but I can't remember it's name but it came in a tin, really made me rethink and appreciate straight burley (as a Virginia lover who favors straight Va or VaPer blends). I'd give Sutliff's...

    Topping a Pipe With a Cigar Cap

    Fatman, it was and enjoyable smoke all the way through! Arturo Fuentes were one of the first thing I started smoking. Think the 5100 was the one for this, great blend that's not complex so naturally it went well with what was a mellow cigar. Dover, do you mix in the clippings with pipe tobacco...

    Topping a Pipe With a Cigar Cap

    Just wanted to share an experience I'm in the midst of having. About a month ago I picked up a cigar from a friend who had come into an excess of cigars and was looking at getting rid of some. He had an Arturo Fuente Churchill that caught my eye, said the cigars had around 10 years age and this...

    Mold? Thoughts?

    I can't really tell, but I had a problem with a tin of tobacco I was given. Noticed white patches at the bottom and over several weeks it ended up spreading and giving the tobacco a really fruity scent. From what I could tell it wasn't a mold that produced any toxic secondary metabolites so I...

    Pipe Tobacco For Walking

    Richard and Fr Tom - I can see the old drugstore blends working for a walking smoke, will have to try that with the two I have on hand. I'll have to put Old Companion on my list, too, if it's like the drugstore blends sans topping. Complexity definitely isn't something I'm looking for, just...

    Pipe Tobacco For Walking

    Ha! It's a good sentiment, but where does it leave Middleton's Apple?  :P

    Pipe Tobacco For Walking

    I've noticed that when I take a pipe out for a walk that my smokes tend to be less than fantastic and some get downright harsh quickly, even on brief walks (such as going to get the mail). This is less the case with aromatics and even less with cigars (which I tend to default to if I want to...

    Enjoying some graciously gifted PS Luxury Navy Flake in a Jim Seaman nosewarmer. Third bowl of this tobacco (in the same pipe) and I'm really liking it. Going to have to include some next time TAD strike.  :D
