    Pipe Tobacco Review: Serenity

    Lads, I was smoking this in a small break after lunch (delicious salmon & onions cooked by the wife), and got so astonished by the experience that I just had to come write this up before returning to work. Meet the humble tin of "Tranquilidade" (I'd translate to Serenity) made from the best...

    Difference Between VA & Burley Nicotine Effects

    That's a bunch of knowledge Cosmic! Makes me rethink a lot of what I thought I knew about tobacco. Would you care to explain a bit more about this stuff? Varieties, processes, the agricultural side of naming and sorting tobacco, etc. I'm very curious to hear your thoughts.

    Chacom n.3 - Masterful!

    Just found this on a Brazilian online store, of all places! Will order one and post my thoughts too after

    Jaguar Balls

    Hello all. I had a bit of free time and some bulk tobacco I've purchased from local growers; thinking of ways to blend the rough (but flavorful) Tietê rope and make it more palatable, this came up: I had no flake or ribbon Virginia on hand, so I mixed the ribbon-cut rope with a - great...

    Three Nuns

    Answering honestly, I believe it has to do with the aromas of the blend. They masterfully emulate the smell of an old house in Europe: made of wood, well cleaned, full of stories and old people. Maybe what a convent should smell like, definitely reminds me of my grandmother's home.

    Hi from Walden. Born and Raised in Newburgh, NY.

    Welcome friend! Peace and quiet, yes, it's what it's all about. Would you mind telling me a bit more about your army years?

    Do You Smoke a Pipe For:

    I smoke everyday: when I wake up in the morning with coffee before leaving home, during all afternoon while I work, and sometimes at night to relax after everything is done. It must average 1 to 2 bowls per day. And I'm not addicted at all; had to go a week without it when I got a cold, it was...

    Hello from North Carolina

    Welcome my friend!

    Greetings from Germany

    Welcome friend! If you don't have anyone at home that would be bothered by it, I recommend you try to smoke inside once; in a cozy couch and with a glass of something to pair. The smell tobacco leaves behind really is nothing to be bothered at with good blends. I smoke all sorts of leaves and...

    New Zealand Ban Overturned

    Tells you a lot about modern "democracies"

    Greetings from the Highland Plateau of Brazil

    Unbelievable. I can only imagine how scary it must be to raise children among such a fanatic government. It never stops at just tobacco. New Zealand from what I know must be very nice. The shots from The Lord of The Rings there are gorgeous, looks like a place with a great chilly whether

    Damn! That's crazy. All sorts of drugs on a rampage everywhere and a man can't grow the innocent tasty leaf. Here it's a pretty common thing among pipe smokers, it's not that hard to own a small plot of land and frequent sunlight makes the plant thrive easily. Let me know if you want to try...

    These are from Spanish speaking Countries, in Brazil what we have is called "cordas", they're different. And you probably smoked a very strong one raw, it's not the best way to appreciate them. Blended in lighter bases is how you really feel what they can offer

    Oz doesn't seem to have very magical laws! Haha. Can you tell me why you're calling Down Under that? Made me curious. You could say they're hard to find at first, but since it's a small niche once you know a few people they can tell you about the others, and soon you'll know where to buy a lot...

    Great quote by the way. Oscar Wilde is by far my favorite writer, I believe there has never been a better one in all of History.

    Greetings from the Highland Plateau of Brazil

    Yes, they do have that image. But I believe this has a lot to do with the reputation ropes got from the likes of Arapiraca and Piracanjuba. Those I believe have to blended in Jaguari or Virginia to be properly appreciated. A really good mixture is "Sertão das Alagoas" from Graciano at...

    Greetings from the Highland Plateau of Brazil

    Unfortunately they're not smoked very much anymore; but the ones that do still have a bit of popularity are Amarelinho and Arapiraca (Piracanjuba also, I forgot about that one); rolled into straw cigarettes always. Among poor old men, that's all they know about tobacco. With wealthier old men...

    Yes, ropes were the preferred method of curing tobacco in all os South America. I hope you have the patience for that book I just wrote haha

    Greetings from the Highland Plateau of Brazil

    Well I'm a hopeless nationalist, so this will be a bit long: To summarize the situation, pipe smoking was a staple for every man here from before the Discovery Age (our main Amerind Peoples loved tabacco and consumed it frequently) to some 80 years ago. When the cigarette industry took...
