Today was a pretty good day: WV Smoke Shop came through with:

* Bengal Slices White - 1.75oz Tin
* Missouri Meerschaum Lord Morgan Crumble Kake - 1.5oz tin

* Arango Balkan Supreme - 2oz bulk
* Sutliff Balkan II - 1oz bulk

tomorrow I expect a shipment from The Storyteller’s Pipe with another huge set of 2oz samples. Thanks be that I ordered a bunch of 8oz mason jars last week…
Very cool! I’ve ordered quite a bit from WV Smoke Shop in the past, always a good experience with them.
“Dear Google: Ken Byron Tobacco…” 🤔
My parents are here! 😁
Gawith and Hoggarth Bob’s Chocolate Flake
G&H Dark Flake (unscented)
G&H Brown Irish Twist
Samuel Gawith Cabbies Mixture
SG Sam’s Flake
Very cool! Tell them that your slightly weird American friend from online says “Hello”. 🙂
Very nice! I had a bowl after lunch. I’ll try it again before I give any kind of review. But, I enjoyed it and want to investigate further 😊
Pipe Force II just arrived! Couldn’t contain myself and popped one of them open ASAP, (the lightest one - it still had nearly a gram over the stated 50g net, so very happy they’re all overweight). And, 1 of the 4 is 35g over the others, so has a 🪙 coin. Tin note is amazing!
June Compare & Share looks and smells great, too!
In order of appearance left to right:
1 Brazilian tradicional Rope. A crioulo version of tobacco, like an old strain. The leaves are not that big so the rope is thin. Around the rope you all can see a black layer which is tobaco natural molasse that reminds me what happen with perique. Inside it has a yellow/brown tobacco medium in nicotine and full of flavor. I use to take the first layer out due to its dificult to keep lit.
2 One of the newest Brazilian pipe tobacco released in the market. Mainly old dark fired burley.
3 Few packs of the most tradicional Brazilian tobacco pipe brand. Candido Giovanela: "Autentico" that carry a fruity casing/topping. "Maturado" that is a aged VaBur with toppings of cocoa liqueur honey. "Tradicional" that is a light cocoa/chocolate VaBur that i believe is the best seller of the brand.
None of them are mine and next week they gonna take the flight to @Ted home.
Stocking up on classics.
I have my first tin of Peterson Flake on the way, but man I wish we could easily get our hands on Paddington here in the USA...
Sir, no complaints please 😉! You may set sail on the real Royal Yacht anytime it tickles your fancy 😎. Now that is glamouros!
Whilest I keep rowing in whatever boat zhe germans built with Paddington ✌️
I want a T-shirt that says "Rauchen ist todlich"
It is totally magic! Somewhere between my retina and my visual cortex by now these stickers simply get filtered!
A tin of Marlin Flake somewhere up here w/o the sticker irritated me. The tin felt too yellow 😂
Somewhere I have one displaying a picture of my favorite cigarette brand, with the admonition text that says "Las Autoridades Sanitarias son peligrosas para tu salud" Health Authorities are dangerous for your health.
Woohoo! It's Christmas at my place today. Been waiting weeks. 😀
...and I'm on holiday as of a couple hours ago....perfect.
At last I get to post in this thread. Although I shouldn't be because I'm now buying shit I can't afford. But anyway, it's all done now. This is the first post of a few that will come in the next week or so as packages arrive.
Anyway, went to the local B&M today to pick up some filters and couldn't help splashing out on a tobby I hadn't tried. I almost went for 1792 Flake, and kind of regret that I didn't because the reviews made it sound very mysterious and interesting. But I was put off by the purported strength so went for this instead... no idea about it but it's got good reviews ....
Yay - and lucky me, I got back from work and the first of two more packages has arrived already! It's come across Europe and I only ordered it a few days ago! Very fast!
They also included three samples of their house blends. They have done this in previous orders and I really liked their house blends on that occasion. I'm particularly looking forward to trying No.12 of this lot.
I've obfuscated the house blends names just because I'm actually not entirely sure how legit it is to do that, and I really really appreciate and respect this particular European online vendor and don't want to risk getting them in any trouble. If anyone wants to use them, send me a message and I'll link you. But they will ship all over Europe happily (again, not sure how legit that is, but they're awesome for doing so regardless).
So now with the Brown Flake from the post above, I've got not five, but eight different and entirely new-to-me tobaccos to try! This is one of the most fun things about the pipe hobby. Exciting times! 😊
Cool 😎 Maybe @BriarBerg can link us up via email(?) and we can discuss this further 😊
Ah sorry mate. I missed this reply.
Email me at captaineight elephant-trunk-a gmail.com (it's a junk email address, but I'll check it if you email it).
BTW, if you don't know what I'm talking about (not sure how Danish works), watch this: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5ihKadNtpx/
Might be a bit of a laugh there for the yanks too. 😘
P.S. I have to say, after opening them all and smelling the aromas, the ones that are the most interesting are actually the three house blends! None of them are aromatics, but each one has it's own different and unique smell. Very curious now.
This all just showed up.
When D&R says a pound, they mean a pound. Huge bag. Really nice toasted burley. I smoked this when it was fine cut cigarette tobacco before the tax change when everybody suddenly decided to be pipe tobacco. D&R stuff is good honest ribbon cut tobacco though. Smells nice and musty. I hope I like it as a mixing base. $21 a pound is hard to beat.
Another 8 ozs of Tuggle
Some revisits and gap filling of C&D stuff I never got to.
And hopefully a decent chocolate condiment blender between the two.
I'm anxious to try Crowleys and Odessa.
