Never cared much for it, guess I am in the minority. Always thought it was a bit flat.

Tried it back when it was plentiful, never cared much for it. The much sought after Penzance either, for that matter.

Marlin Flake in a Sasieni Two Dot Dublin.

I think that brand matters as far as taste. Some have a very distinctive characteristic. I am making the assumption that it is the way the briar is aged/cured. Hard to beat a Castello for immediate smoothness, and taste, whatever it is they do. My favorites, and what I have the most of, are the...

I was following this one, just out of curiosity, it went for a bit over 3K. As far as the Dunhill, I would think the Iwan Reis detracts from it a bit. Some people can spend 6K on a pipe like I spend $50, doesn't matter.

FVF in an Astley Bulldog.

If you are looking for a Scottish, experiment with more of the Rattrays. It is what most of them are, ie, they have a significant amount of cavendish, making them a Scottish. For a true Va,Oriental, Lat, I would check the Dunhills. Lat is also an Oriental, but custom has it, it is listed...

Per GH, Unscented is floral cased, scented is cased and topped.

I think a handcut stem is well worth the money. As mentioned above, better airway and thinner, more comfortable mouthfeel. The $25 advice may be sound for a reseller, but if I am to keep the pipe I would spend what it takes to get it right. Likewise, just like a new car, I am not interested in...

Two of my favorites. In fact, London Mixture is my benchmark English. They are a bit higher nic content and strength than most their counterparts though.

SG BBF in an Astley Bulldog.

Old Gowrie in a Larrysson Poker.

Big N Burley in an Astley Oom Paul.

Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake in an Astley Bulldog.

Did they say why they cannot ship to Michigan. Is it some sort of law, or just an inconvenience to them to do so? I recently shipped some tobacco to a friend, the local UPS store told me they could not accept tobacco shipments from individuals. I know the owner and he said to take it, but I'll...

SG BBF in a Cavicchi 2C Canadian.

Dunhill London Mixture is my benchmark English. GLP Quiet Nights isn't bad either. I like Dunhill 965, but since it contains cavendish, it is not a true English to me. The cavendish makes it a Scottish blend. A true English is not a lat bomb. The Va provides the over riding flavor and strength...

Many makers use some combination/variation of white dots. No end to those makers trying to capitalize on the Dunhill logo.

GH Dark Flake Unscented in an Upshall.

I think it is a nice morning tobacco. I prefer it fresh. I once smoked some with five years on it. I just scraped it off, and it was fine, just milder.:D
