  No, not yet. Just read the opinions at the review site. One of my current favorites is SG Navy Flake, a VaPer. So thanks for the recommendation. I've added it to my ever-growing wish list. 

By nature, I dig in my heels. But as I type, I'm smoking Escudo and find myself agreeing with Tom and Blue. I might like oranges better than apples but sometimes you run into an extraordinary apple.

  I haven't smoked an aromatic since my early twenties except for Davidoff Danish. Didn't know that the Davidof tin was an aromatic when I bought it - I was just recognized the Davidoff brand at a B&M that sold pipe tobacco as an incidental aside to cigars. It was ok, getting two stars on the...

Nice to hear from you again, BBS.   Of course, I agree with you, generally, but think your analogy too distinct. As I stated, "The smoking experience between a pipe and a cigar is very different..."   While I understand your steak vs ice cream, I'm wondering if it would be more useful to...

I've tried maybe a half dozen pipe tobaccos recently, smoked in as many different pipes. I'm enjoying the exploration, but honestly, the taste, even among the blend styles, sames narrow compared to cigars.   I had occasion to smoke a Padron 1964 (double toro or churchill) Annie over the weekend...

I lit up the Jack Knife read rub a couple of times over the weekend. Have to say it was a welcome change from the English styles I've been smoking. In fact, now that I was knowingly and consciously smoking a straight Virginian, I could identify the Virginia taste on which English tobaccos are...

Nice restore. Enjoy smoking it.

Greetings all:   After much time on the boards, here and online trade magazines and tobacco review sites, over the last month I've ordered 7 pipes to alleviate my PAD symptoms and have structured my TAD as follows, so as to dedicate a pipe to various blend styles. Now lets see if my starting...

I'm really sorry I didn't respond until now. Yew, it was 4noggins. Sold out at around 1pm today, 2400 tins total. I would have posted the source but I'm not sure about the etiquette of posting commercial sources. Going forward, if I hear of a good deal, should I just post? (Excepting eBay)   I...

Just getting back into pipes and tried Escudo, which is first in my rotation, at least for now. I just came across a deal where I can get up to 10 tins for 6.75 each. I've just started exploring the wide world of pipe tobacco and was planning on surveying more options but am wondering if I...

Thanks. I took the time to write to pipes and tobacco regarding the issue. They didn't take the time to respond. I've since purchased a half dozen quality pipes from smokingpipes.com and have been very happy with the products and service.

Good advice. I'm hoping to go to the SmokeShop in Annapolis Md tomorrow morning. Place has terrific rep, was reviewed favorably in pipesmoking magazine.   The Sebatien Beo mouthpiece was also loose after a day. I'm thinking maybe because I'm storing in my Florida room. May have to move them into...

    I'm sure it was caused by heat. It first darkened on the backside. When I noticed it, I made a point of lighting the bowel from the front. I've never had a pipe finish deteriorate this quickly - maybe four bowls?    I'm sure a skilled craftsman could refinish it. But (1) I'm not skilled and...

Well, the Mr. Brog oversized extra large model XOL is smoking well, dry and cool. However, the burgundy finish isn't holding up at all. The pearwood walls, thick as they are, have darkened to a deep glossy brown from top to bottom on both front and back of the pipe. I'm not if it will get in...

Drawing on Davidoff Danish in my Mr. Brogs. over-sized XOL. The stain is already darkening significantly on rear side next to the shank. But I'm getting to like this pipe a lot. It is a little heavy on the hang as might be expected but feels good in the hand.     I've been packing pipes since I...

Thanks. If you're a serious cigar smoker, your wallet will thank you too. You can get several very decent pipes and some good tin baccies for the price of a couple boxes of cigars. Or try some cob pipes aka Missouri Meerschaum  and maybe get a tin of GL Pease for the cost of two or three...

Got the Mr. Brog pearwood pipes.   I first smoked the oversized extra large model XOL.  (Image link) The walls were so thick, and the chamber looked so narrow that I thought it would be a short smoke. Wrong! I loaded up some flolded GLP Sextant and the bowl lasted most of an evening. It was...

G L Pease Night Harbor, Sextant, PIcadilly, Embarcardero,Lagonda, Jack Knife, Westminter. Davidoff Danish Mix, Balkan Luxury 957.   Davidoff is good - Didn't experience the bite that others have reported. Smoking it slow in a MM Cobb.    I haven't cracked any of the other tins except the...

I ordered a carved billiard merscheem estate pipe from smokingpipes.com, a new Nording freehand, and a couple Mr. Brogs. I also ordered several tins of GL.Pease and ten 5 oz bail lid jars from US Plastics for storage  They're food grade and can be boiled to sterilize. I'm not at $500 yet - still...

Sounds iike another example of big business buying out a successful small company and then ruining what made them successful in the first place.   So I called smokingpipes.com in South CaroIina a ordered several tins today and two new pipes - one a Merscheem estate, the other a new Nording...
