Sounds like a winner there Mark. I looked it up on tobacco reviews. How much a part does the Latika play in the mix?

Left some Trout Stream in my drying bowl last night so used it to fill my first pipe today - this stuff is really good by the way. The description is a mixture of Golden Cavendish Slices mixed with a sweet Black Cavendish.

Paired with Samul Adams Old Fezziwig- the best winter beer in my opinion

The Latakia is there, but its not a monster Jake. The Latakia marries well with the other tobacco's in this blend, and provides a wonderful complexity. Its a medium strength smoke with lots of smoky types of flavor, spiciness, and subtle sweetness. Its wonderful. Perfect for a cool day or evening. When I opened my tin, the tobacco had just the right amount of humidity for a good burn. In essence, it wasn't "wet" or "damp" out of the 2oz tin. It has remained so in the Mason jar as well. Its a great English blend!

Chappy, you're turning into a regular pipe tobacco connoisseur...

[jjmitchem]

Yes........ I am afraid I've got TAD and PAD bad but I wouldn't go as fad as calling my a connoisseur yet.

This is worse than the slippery slope of cigars - good thing it is much easier to control the cost.

You ought to see my list of must try tobaccos

And of course all the pipes I would love to have.

Merry Christmas Brothers!



I slipped outside during one of those "akward silences" and fired up my Wiley!

The only drawback for me is that they do not accept MasterCard as a form of payment. Not sure why, as a number of other online retailers I deal with (in regards to tobacco) have no problem in accepting MasterCard. I sent them a tactful email just to inquire about their B&M not accepting MasterCard, and am awaiting their response...

Marlin Flake, waiting for the folks to show up in the RV!

This was a drawback for me as well, but I got around this by using PP. PipesandCigars.com has also went this route. =(

On another forum, I read that Mastercard is requiring a yearly fee to use their service if you sell tobacco. Not sure on the fee but I heard it was around 5k.
