I've been importing Cuban cigars for years because I found them to be superior in flavor and construction. But then the construction got iffy, so I started to look for alternatives (which is basically the same drill as what Davidoff did on the manufacture side some years ago from what I...

Yup. a wonderful thing. Essentially the same as Johnny Walker Green but at half the price.

Earlier, HOTW in a Pete Standard System 305 Dublin that I'd put away a few years ago and forgot I even owned. It was just one of 40 pipes that I retired to get down to a more manageable 100. :) At the moment, I am enjoying a Partagas Serie D robusto accompanied by a drop of Martell VSOP. Nice...

Rattray's Hal O' The Wynd in a very nice Rattray Lobster bent billiard that I just bought. Limited edition, I have no. 94 out of 100 made, but not absurdly expensive. No fills that I can see, beautiful sterling band. The only catch is that it is a 9mm filter pipe, but I've gotten to like those...

Sorry that you are still having a struggle with this. I asked my wife who recently retired after a zillion years as a hospital pharmacist and she had no idea except that you apparently had an allergic reaction and that it might be complicated/extended if you are on some meds that somehow...

Mac Baren Navy Mixture in Castello Sea Rock XXXX Hawkbill.

I am unburdened by actual knowledge, training, or expertise in the area, but it sounds to me like your body's reaction to the stings included a change in your oral pH level. I have no idea about the "why" part of that, but it should settle down pretty quickly if I am correct. Best of luck to you.

Mac Baren HH Rustica Flake in Becker Morta Pick Axe.

Dobie's Four Square English in Pete Kinsale XL22 bent Dublin.

Dunhill Standard Mixture in Pete Sherlock Holmes Strand bent egg.

Mick McQuaid Plug in Dunhill Shell Briar 4103 billiard.

Yes, congratulations, you reminded me that the OL and I are headed to 46 years in August. I have a wall in the basement where I have recorded every year with a stroke. :) Anyway, I have several pre-2000 Petes that were not high end but excellent smokers anyway. Then when I got back into pipes...

Dobie's Four Square English in Sasieni Danzy XS bent bulldog. Never tried and of the Dobie blends before, this one is really good.

Dunhill Standard Mixture in Dunhill Shell Briar 4109 Canadian.

Mac Baren Navy Mixture in MM cob. Their Navy Flake is good, but I always preferred Mixture. Too bad they quit production around 2014, but at least I bought up a ton of it. :)

Interesting responses guys. It sounds like most here will smoke an aro now and then on a selective basis. That's where I'm at and have been for a while. But as was mentioned, it is (or at least was) very common for somebody to start out with an aro mainly because they always sound like a good...

2013 Samuel Gawith Navy Flake in Ashton Brindle XXX bent bulldog.

When I recently went through my tobacco collection, I came across a couple of McClelland aromatics that I had forgotten all about, Town Topic and Holiday Spirit. Both were from 2014 and each had been opened and just sealed with the plastic lid for the 50g tin. Against all odds, each was at a...

Peterson Royal Yacht in Castello Sea Rock Great Line Dublin. This is the largest pipe that I own, one of these days I'll get around to posting pictures of my pipes... just lazy.

I did smoke some Royal Yacht back in the 80's, but I was just dabbling with pipes then and don't recall enjoying it that much. I do have a pretty good stash going back to 2012 and think that the older tins mature nicely. But one thing that I would say about Dunhill blends over the past several...
