No hedging, no "either this or that"...one blend by one brand.
Which one? Why?

This is a blog for those who enjoy good quality tobacco, in good quality pipes. A place for the community of pipe smokers in Victoria, BC to share knowledge, expertise, and stories. As someone new to pipe smoking, I will share my adventures, purchases, and blunders in the hope that this gentlemanly pastime never dies.
Nice site; good luck with it.
ReplyDeleteI have to go with McClelland 2015: An all day Vaper that is strong on Virgiania and ages very well. It really should age; buy it, throw it in a mason jar and wait a year.
Prince Albert, down to earth tobacco-ey goodness that doesn't grow tiresome -- a real "hip pocket" kind of smoke.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting! I appreciate it! I see Prince Albert mentioned a lot. I have to admit that in my race to try great tobaccos I kind of wrote it off as a "cheapie" blend, but I have seen the name enough that I think I had better try some!
ReplyDeleteI have to chime in on Rattrays Old Gowrie. Its just straight Virginia but its rich and mellow; no bite to boot.
ReplyDeleteI grabbed a 50g bag of Old Morris's new Travolo blend, a really nice aromatic (blended with kona, black forest and one other ingredient that I can't remember exactly), and fell in love with it instantly.
ReplyDeleteHi am new to this site and wondering if there is any hope of reviving this for pipe smokers

ReplyDeleteMy grandpa could fill his pipe right from his tobacco pouch without you even realizing what he was doing. Same goes for cleaning or whatever you do. He lived to 83 my grandparents came through Ellis island in 1909. I loved the smell of the cherry mix he smoked. read about how to clean a tobacco pipe
