Folks speak very highly of this tobacco and I've been tempted many times to order some but I know there is Latakia in it and try as I might, I don't like it much. I hear that this blend has very little and it just rounds out the flavor but I'm afraid it might ruin it for me. On the other hand...

Saw this quote. Liked it and thought somebody else might too. Bob “Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat...

Well once again today I burned a nice little hole in a dress shirt. Over the years I think I have dedicated two suits five shirts, a few shirts and sweaters and pants too numerous to count to the pipe gods. My question is has anyone come up with a good excuse that gets them out of trouble with...

I have been a pipe smoker for 31 years and have tried many tobaccos over the years. I ended up smoking aeromatics almost all the time with a little burley in the rotation. While I still love the Boswell aeros, I have recently smoked Escudo and a local virginia blend and really enjoyed them...
