I've been in love with Uhle's Blend 44 the past couple months. A superb smoke, and I'm sure you'll find it satisfying as well.

I've said it here before, but I'll say it again; NOBODY does Virginias like McClellands. Every bit of variety in their flakes, ribbons and other cuts, all superlative. The very best. I've got a pretty good stash, but in the long run, is it really enough? The answer is, of course, not nearly...

You are 100% correct, sir!

$305 with 1 1/2 hours to go......the final countdown.....I can't wait to slap down my bid for a cool grand at the last second!

It was late (for me) last night and I didn't get the name quite right. the name I should have typed is as you have stated: HH Vintage Syrian. When you go to the tobaccoreviews.com place and look it up there is a message that states that this is a re-introduction WITHOUT the Syrian Latakia that...

by which I mean, of course, the reintroduced one without the Syrian Latakia. Has anyone tried this yet? Any comments for or against? I know the former "HH Syrian Latakia" generally shot people over the moon, but now that the Syrian Latakia is gone, I'm wondering just what this new "HH Syrian"...

I, too, love this delicious blend. I had a mild heart attack last week because I just KNEW I had bought 4 or 5 tins of this along with the same amount of Bombay Court when McClelland's days were numbered. Well, I found the BC easily enough, but lo and behold, the British Woods were in a...

Late reply to this post, as is fitting because I have been enjoying this tobacco as of late(!) Originally bought to round out an order to get the free postage amount I've since bought 5 pouches - this stuff is just a plain nice smoke. Nothing out of the ordinary, I suppose, but as mentioned...

Good points, Zeno

Well, I don't think I'll need it. The pipe just came in the mail about 20 minutes ago and it looks brand new. The inside of the bowl is only charred halfway down. I think the prior owner maybe only smoked it once or twice, never got through a whole bowl or something of the like. At any...

Bonanzadriver, that's an absolutely fantastic transformation you pulled off! Wonderful! You are indeed a talented and dedicated piper. As an aside, where would one get some "everclear"?

HA! Eloquently put, my friend, and my mind is now at ease. Many Thanks! - S13

Tomorrow the USPS is scheduled to deliver my very first estate pipe, a Manx Meerschaum prince, the Meerschaum being from Laxey Pipe Ltd from the Isle of Man, which is what really snagged the deal for me. I've long held the Isle of Man in mythical esteem due to the motorcycle races and all...

Late night/Late Date cruising around the site, and I have to mention that I seem to follow your lead, AJ. Just as I fell in love with Tudor Castle,  I've presently got a 1 pound bag of PS306 English Oriental Supreme sitting in one of my boxes taking over my library this very moment.  As you...

I love my pipes just as they come, don't need no rubber (All you Freudians out there must be having a field day right about now!). Teeth marks on the stems of my expensive pipes? who cares? I'm going to be 64 in July, how many more years before the worms get their teeth marks on me? In all...

Let me start by saying I hate this topic because I hate this process. That's more than likely due to my experience being narrowed down to those awful made in China round silver discs with holes in them that you're supposed to throw in a glass of cold water for an indeterminate amount of time...

smokingpipes.com had acquired a small lot of old "new" Stanwells a couple years ago and I bought an Eltang designed 2003 pipe of the year - a sandblasted billiard with a nice little silver plate with "Stanwell 2003" on the top of the shank.  It looks great (has "Eltang" all over it from a mile...

I may sound moronic, but to me a big part of the appeal of these pipes is the stamping.  Something very authoritative in the boldness of the letters' (and numbers') markings. A very "Old World" feel as well. Grampa, your pipe looks like an artifact from a sunken ship!

NICE acquisition!

Blackhorse, your wisdom and generosity of sharing thereof shines through once again. Many Thanks - Smoker13
