    Dark Fired Kentucky

    I've definitely picked up on that BBQ smell of the tobacco

    What would you say is the biggest difference in US compared to African DFK?

    Trying Out Gawith Blends and Sharing My Impressions

    I recently tried Kendal Black Cherry. It's definitely not a typical cherry aromatic. I haven't tasted anything like this yet. I do get a kind of floral soapy essence from it. Anyone try this G&H blend?

    I wasn't crazy about latakia when I first tried it but I'm liking the DFK. It's a different kind of smokey taste. Still trying to get all the nuances of it

    Thanks. I tried a DFK blend and I would also like to try my own with either blending tobacco or leaf

    Expanding pallet

    One thing about this hobby is there is no shortage of blends to try thanks to online purchasing. I was overwhelmed the first time I went to a site and tried to decide!! I try something different every time I place an order and buy what I know I already like. Happy sampling!

    I have been trying many different types of tobaccos and blends in my first few months of pipe smoking. I recently received some DFK. Smoked by itself it is definitely a stout tobacco. I have read where it can be also used as a condiment for blends. What types of tobaccos does DFK compliment?

    Sweetest Aro

    It's not bulk but East India trading company Officer's Club is a sweet chocolaty blend

    Removing Corn Cob Stem Protruding Into Bowl

    I know it's way overkill on such a cheap pipe as a cob, but when I have spare time at work I head to the machine shop and chuck the cob in the smallest lathe and with an end mill that fits the chamber I remove the extension. I then turn a hardwood disc and press it into the chamber to take up...

    The Most Disappointing Tobacco

    Thanks. I'll give it a try. I always like trying different tobaccos every time I place an order

    Finally Starting To Understand Flavor Basics

    B Being a new pipe smoker too, I noticed the difference once I got the hang of not smoking too fast and being able to actually taste the different tobaccos in a certain blend. Neat experience when it happens
