    Absolute Mildest Nicotine With Latakia and/or Orientals

    Hi, I can't take nicotine anymore -- it gives me anxiety. I haven't smoked the pipe or cigars for months because of it. But I miss the pipe so much, I am willing to try a last effort at finding a blend that doesn't give me a panic attack. What is the absolute mildest blend in terms of nicotine...

    Tips on Similar Blends but Without Drytime Required?

    Hi all! I haven't been pipe smoking lately, in fact it's been about a year since my last bowl. I've been smoking cigars instead because they're much lower maintenance. But the price and nostalgia of the pipe is calling to me! But I need your help: I will list my favorite blends and you could...

    Recommend Moisture-Ready Blends With Mild Nic?

    Hi! I don't enjoy drying my tobacco, and I don't like flakes. I would appreciate recommendations on a tobacco that is mild in nicotine and is ready to smoke from the tin or pouch. Some of my favorite blends in terms of flavor: Skiff Mixture Commonwealth Sir Walter Raleigh I don't mind a...

    Frequent Changes in Taste?

    Hi! Do any of you find that your tastes can change drastically over time -- and that mild blends can seem tasteless and airy at times, and at other times flavorful and tasty? I think this happens to me when I take breaks for over a week or I try strong new blends. It can be a bit frustrating as...

    Most Delicious Smoke With A Nasty Tin Smell?

    Hi! I recently received my first pouch of Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic. The moment I put my nose in the pouch, I was convinced it was going to be disgusting. Smelled of cough syrup or some medicine from my childhood. I considered not even trying it! Well when I lit it up, it became an instant...

    DIY: Adding Floral Essences?

    Hi, As a Canadian who would love to try more Lakeland floral essence blends but cannot get most, is there any way to make our own? I've seen a few threads of people infusing whiskey or other spirits, but what about floral essences? Where would one go about acquiring that? Thanks

    G&H Kentucky Nougat Tastes Like Apricots?

    Hey! Just received some G&H Kentucky Nougat. I love it! But it smells and tastes like apricots, nothing at all like coco / toffee / cream / nougat. I checked tobaccoreviews, and no one mentions this. Did they perhaps give me another blend accidentally? xD

    Hi! I am very interested in getting this: https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/savinelli/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=405500 But I have never had a pipe with a filter except a cob. Can this be smoked without one? And without the adapter? Thanks

    Does Grousemoor Age Well or Does It Lose Essence?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Hi! I received my Grousemoor and LOVE IT! First experience with Lakelands. I was expecting a strong essence as people seem to think its very strong. I did not find this to be the case at all! Anyway, I want to start cellaring my favorite blends...

    Where to Find G&H?

    Hi! I've never tried any blends with Lakeland essence. I have a tin of Grousemoor and Kendal Cream from SG in the mail, but the real deal seems to be with G&H, like Ennerdale or BB#2 but I cannot find any in stock online. I live in Canada, if that makes any difference. Anyone know where I can...

    Suggestions for Bulk Crossovers?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Hi! I haven't smoked my pipe in over 6 months. I tried to have a bowl this evening but it was a bit strong for me. Also one of the reasons I stopped was because I was tired of drying my tin tobacco. Any suggestions for quality bulk-available...

    Most Bready or Hay-Like Full Virginias?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Hey! I love full virginias -- particularly ones that have a very hay/grass flavor, or those that taste like bread. I am not fond of ones that are citrus/tangy though. So far, the closest I've gotten to hay is Golden Sliced, and closest to bread...

    Recommendations for Light English Flakes?

    EDIT: FIxed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob Hi! I am very fond of Samuel Gawith's Squad Leader and Skiff Mixture. What would you recommend in a flake that has a similar light English quality like those? They have fantastic rich flavors compared to stronger English, to my tastes...

    Oriental Flake (and Favorite Flakes Per Other Blend Type)

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob Hi! I have come to really enjoy the form of flake tobacco (not krumble kake though, can't get that to work at all). Do you have recommendations on an oriental flake? Perhaps a perique flake too (Golden Sliced or is that too virignia...

    Finding the Right Moisture Balance?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob Hi! I have been pipesmoking for about 2 years but the main problem I run into is moisture content of my tobacco. Some tins, like say Royal Yacht, comes in perfect moisture content for me. I can pack my bowl, light and I am fine. Other (in...
