    Hal o'the Wynd casing

    Are you referring to the 100g tins? Do Those seem to hold up with time?

    Ten Minute Tiny Pipes

    What do people consider approximate inner bowl dimensions for tiny (30min smoke) vs small(hour long ) vs medium bowl(1.5hour)? I’m thinking something like 0.75inch width to 1inch height is small, anything smaller than that is tiny, and medium is like 0.75/1.25? Thoughts ?

    From Cigars to Pipes or Pipes to Cigars?

    Sorry to hear about what happen to your sense of taste. I hope it will recover. I do enjoy cigars a lot. I like the idea of the pure tobacco leaves still in one piece. But as you said all cigars share that cigar flavor

    From Cigars to Pipes or Pipes to Cigars?

    I usually see people posting in various forums that they have gone from cigars to pipes and almost always say they love it and that pipes will replace or take a significant amount of their cigar smoking time. But I have not seen anyone say they started trying cigars after smoking pipes and have...

    This is the way

    With the win the premium cigar industry got in the courts it looks like they are safe for at least a few years before they are targeted again. I wonder if pipe tobacco has some buffer period or can anything happen at anytime ?

    This is the way

    can anyone speculate on what they think will happen to pipe tobacco in the USA in the next 5-10 years? Anyone think we are looking at brand unavailability or significant price increases in particular states?

    Ennerdale Ready Rubbed

    Any updates on this regarding the sauce ? I had some Ennerdale flake, which I picked up a few months ago in late 2022, for the first time. It was delicious but I did not really get the floral perfume notes everyone usually talks about when they talk about lakelands. Tasted like a good tobacco...

    Bright Virginias: Cigarette Like?

    I’ve casually smoked cigarettes maybe a decade ago. They ain’t bad, but with pipe smoking I was expecting a different experience , which I have definitely gotten but wasn’t sure if I was doing anything wrong. Especially when people describe certain blends with many flavors. To me it seemed like...

    Bright Virginias: Cigarette Like?

    Thanks for the thoughtful replies so far. I’ll try to slow down my smoking rate to help with the flavor of some of the Virginia’s I’ve tried. As I mentioned before some of the Virginia’s I’ve had have been great and I did not get that cigarette/ashy harsh flavor. I wonder if there are other...

    Bright Virginias: Cigarette Like?

    Thanks for your reply! I guess I’m making this post because as I mentioned there were a few I did enjoy, Sutliff crumble kake red Va, country squire green dragon, and Viprati. So I was wondering if there is a common element between the ones I do like and the ones I don’t. Or are the ones I...

    Bright Virginias: Cigarette Like?

    Title edited for caps and punctuation. See Rule 9. Also, pls consider adding your location to your profile. Hello, I’ve been looking for a solid Virginia to cut my teeth on. I enjoyed the tin note and the theoretical taste profile of something like Orlik GS (citrus, hay, bread). But when I...

    Kbv bags

    Hello I couldn’t find any email to directly ask KBV this question, so thought I’d ask here. He recently posted a blog post saying he just got Mylar bags in. Does anyone know if the tobacco we were getting from him the last month or two was in Mylar bags and if it could stay there for years or if...
