    Where have all the good tobaccos gone?

    Yes, but you have that wonderful OTC Blend Fox which I tried last week for the first time and I enjoyed it very much! Wish we could get it here!

    Orlik Golden Sliced Question

    I smoke it all the time and have never detected any perique in mine. I love perique too but I don't want this blend to change, it's too good!

    Escudo

    You are right about the size, but it still tastes great! Especially with a little age on it.

    Where have all the good tobaccos gone?

    SG and Esoterica have been sporatic for while now. Dan tobaccos are still available from places like Pipesandcigars, smokingpipes and MarsCigars. There are a lot of good tobaccos left to buy though. Go to tobaccoreviews.com and research them.

    I may be done with pipes

    I smoke a pipe and both my cars are a stick! i guess it matches up. I can't imagine my sports car with an automatic, I mean whats the point? Any way it's a good analogy.

    I may be done with pipes

    Pipes are not for everybody. I love the ritual of piping, I have smoked for 40 years and i still have to relight, no big deal. You must learn to love pipe smoking. If you don't, you may not ever get it. But try Prince albert first, it almost smokes itself.

    Softees - Who uses 'em?

    Latex rubber is a yellowish amber color naturally so that is the most common color it will come in. I have seen other colors but not often as hospitals and labs don't want the dies used to color it. You get used to it after awhile. Good luck!

    Softees - Who uses 'em?

    Man! I hate to bethe bearer of bad news but that tubing is going to taste like a garden hose. It is vinyl and will be stiff and won't conform to the bit. The tubing I use and it works quite well is latex surgical tubing. Latex has no taste, is pliant like rubber and will conform to the bit...

    Softees - Who uses 'em?

    Add me to the list of users. I have used them for 30 of my 40 years of piping. i don't like the feel of the hard stem on my crowns. On the rare occation i don't use one, I don't like the way it feels in my teeth. I buy them by the hundreds nowadays. I also use latex rubber tubing but my...

    Sugar Barrel

    This one is not my cup of tea but it really does taste like burnt sugar and is very mild. I took some to apipe shop today and guys were begging me for some. I can see why some would really like this one, just not strong enough for me.

    Vauen Black Pepper

    This is the darnest stuff, it really does taste like black pepprer and the pouch note and room note both do too. I could not smoke this often, but it really is not bad for a change of pace. i took some to a pipe shop today and it got a lot of attention.

    Ah...now you have my mouth watering and I was going to bed! Five year old VA sounds like the ticket!

    Stonehaven

    It's a decent smoke but I really don't understand the cult following it has. To me, it's too mild and nothing special really. It looks better than it smokes.

    experience with cube-cut burley?

    I have a few suggestions that work for me to help get cube cuts going. I add a little 5 Bros to the mix which is a fine shag cut. It stays in the background but helps the cube cut light and stay lit. Another aid is to save the tobacco dust from other tobaccos and put on top of the cube cut...

    New Sherlok Holmes Movie

    Thanks for the apology Danish. I was just rather surpised at your post as that is not normally like you. I thought the purpose of postin on threads was opinions and I was being honest in my assessment. I did think and state it was a good movie in in own right. If I had not read the books, I...
