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.
