I have often read this, but it always makes me wonder about the lakeland tobaccos and flakes. How do SG and GH get away with things like 1792, Rum Flake and other flavored tobaccos? As far as I know they have produced their tobacco's in Kendal England for two centuries. I am not being...

I got my package with the 1792 on Saturday and when I opened it, it seems a bit different than I remember. It seems that while there is still the very apparent presence of tonquin, it seems less pronounced. Don't get me wrong it was a slap in the face of tonquin rather than the punch in the gut...

I just got my sampler today. Three days in transit. not bad at all. I got Yorktown Ridin' the Raid Haunted Bookshop (I have no idea why, I normally don't care for burley very much, I'll give it a try though) Merlin's Choice Winchester

I was cleaning out my tobacco cabinet today and found a mason jar full of Bayou Morning (not the flake, the loose) that has been hiding in there for about four years or so since I was making my initial foray into Va/Per blends. I just had to pop the top and man, does it smell good! I am going...

If I remember correctly it has that super strong scent/flavor and also a sledgehammer nicotine content.

Welcome to the forum, Bob.

A few years ago I tried 1792 for the first time and really liked it. It was so completely different than anything I had ever tried. I bought an entire 1000 gram box of the dreaded stuff and soon got sick of seeing and smelling it (how can that smell possibly travel through the glass and steel of...

There is a certain e-tailer that I used quite frequently a few years ago, but went to another instead because this first place was very unreliable. If something was out of stock, they would hold the entire order until it came in, no email to let me know, no communication at all that my order...

Welcome to the brotherhood!

When I am driving my own car, I seldom smoke simply because it is almost always a short hop to the grocery store or pub or something like that. However, I repair heating systems and our service area is quite large, I sometimes have as much as a one hour ride between jobs, so I almost always...

Thanks for posting this. As a perique lover myself, I have read about the methods of making it, but seeing it was very interesting.

Hey Hoosier (I am from Indiana originally, too) also remember that pipe smoking is an art of patience and subtlety. There are as many techniques for smoking a pipe as there are pipe smokers, so use the information and advice that you get from the wonderful guys here and build on it. The only way...

Welcome to The Brothers of Briar!

I usually order all of my tobacco from various online retailers, but today I order a sampler directly from C&D. Has anyone ordered tobacco directly from them? And how long does it usually take to ship?

With a new pipe, I usually smoke only half bowls in it for the first several smokes and it seems to promote more even cake building all the way down the bowl. Then I gradually increase the level from half each time until I am smoking a full bowl. Some people just fill the whole thing up from the...

Welcome from a fellow Noob. Good to see you here.

Try Stonehaven flake by Esoterica. This isn't a perique blend, but it does have sort of a tangy and sour red wine like flavor (to me anyway). It is a flake I like to keep on hand for when I want a change up from my Haddo's. Also the flakes are silky smooth and are a tactile treat to me, but I am...

Yes, but the divorce was less than a year ago, so I guess I'll just keep it in storage until time has healed a few wounds.

I have two pipes in mind for this post. The first is a battered old kaywoodie billiard that belonged to my grandfather. I remember all of the times I would see him sitting in his easy chair, filling it with Prince Albert and lighting up with a box of blue diamond matches. In the process of...

Welcome to BoB. I am a noob here too. I am from Indiana too, but I live near Philadelphia now.
