I am reviewing a can that is over four years old and it just as lovely as any other McClelland blend. If you are a McClelland fan do not hesitate to try their cigar blends for it taste much like any of their other Mature Virginia blends. I detect little to no cigar leaf flavoring for it marries perfectly with the Virginia's. This blend also burns rather quickly due to its fine stringy cut. Not an every day blend for me but a treat nonetheless.</td></tr></tbody></table></span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></span></div>Zazoiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931950686661567293noreply@blogger.com29tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833059330930098968.post-78142006239426845892009-01-13T18:49:00.001-08:002009-01-13T18:50:35.671-08:00McClelland: Drama Reserve<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb3JH-DyFf9-zAs6lTbFTsYxu1XS9YO0oct0dwP7SoHDyTUvpCM42rnBhaNdjLdh0917BDmpKAh0MOQjoGM8t3SqM1ZdhbVkMFebiEhQegGellTaEm9Ekeyyq8xnHUtTsVaK6TN5UWnn4/s1600-h/mcclellanddramareserve.jpg"><img style="display:block;

">C&D Junkyard Dawg is a wonderful blend and something off the beaten path as far as blends go for me for I am not a Burly guy. However, with the Dawg you get Burley/Virginia/Latakia mixture that is a decent smoke. My only issue is the bulling the Burley seems to do here for it surely smacks down the Vir/Lat every time their flavors attempt to come through. From the tin this stuff is beautiful and dry out to perfection. Just not my cup of tea but I can see why this is a popular blend. A nice offering and worth a try.</span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></span></div>Zazoiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931950686661567293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833059330930098968.post-23971081201640652502009-01-13T13:46:00.001-08:002009-01-13T13:47:14.835-08:00G.L.

With the new year just getting off to a start I now can say, "bring it on!" The red virginias will have your mouth watering and will proceed to be soaked up nicely by the rich Cyprus mountain Latakia. This smoke leaves you in the tranquil and peaceful zone. This stuff is consistently yummy down to the bare bottom of the bowl leaving white ash. For those of you who do not smoke a bowl back to back...that will all change here!<p>With a market full of just okay blends we thank you Mr. Pease for standing out with Westminster. Brilliant!

Well take comfort that there is help, that its nothing unusual, and you are not alone. Here are some basic tips to help if you are new to pipe smoking.</div><div><br /></div><div>#1: Make sure you are packing your pipe correctly. See articles on this blog about methods of packing a pipe. After learning a proper packing method then you just need practice. You do not want the tobacco packed too tight or too loose both are bad. Make sure the tobacco after being packed is still spongy to the touch.</div><div><br /></div><div>#2: Char the packed tobacco before lighting also called the False Start. I think you will find you will have to do less relights if you scorch before lighting. To do this light the bowl and take a couple nice even draws. Let it go out and very gently tamper it down. Make sure you do not apply force just ever so slightly. Then repeat by lighting and taking another couple of nice even draws. Let it go out and tamper again. If the top of the tobacco is blackened evenly you are now ready to do the final light or True Start. </div><div><br /></div><div>#3: DO NOT puff so hard. If you are a cigar smoker or former then this especially applies to you. Cigar smoking, for me, was about big volume and tasting big billows of smoke roll off the tongue. However, if you come to the pipe and do that you are gonna tarnish the taste of the tobacco, the opposite of cigar smoking. And by puffing so hard the tobacco is gonna burn too hot and scorch your tongue with steaming hot smoke, "tongue bite." Drawing out the flavors in pipe smoking is more about "sipping" the smoke out of the bowl. Just flip flop your methods of cigar and pipe. It takes practice and time to learn. Do I always have to "sip"? No. You will learn eventually nuances and certain puffing techniques will draw out certain characteristics of the various tobaccos in a blend, etc. The key is to start slow and rhythmically but do not start off puffing like a cigar or a train you will not last long and will have missed all the glorious <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">subtleties</span> of pipe smoking, and we don't want that.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">I'm</span> getting gurgles of sour spit coming up the stem of my pipe...help! It is most likely not spit but "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">dottle</span></span>" caused by either puffing too hard or the tobacco is considerably moist in the bottom of the bowl. It maybe saliva if you are a "wet" smoker or you are blowing <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">excessively</span> into the stem. You can either stick a pipe cleaner down the stem to clear some of the excess <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">dottle</span></span> out. DO NOT remove the stem to clean while pipe is hot. You risk breaking the pipe at worst and at best the stem will no longer fit snug as it should. If it is becoming too much for ya put it down and fill a different pipe and start over. No need to keep going cause <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">dottle</span></span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">ain't</span> no fun! </div><div><br /></div><div>*** Stir <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">occasionally</span> with the stir stick portion of a pipe tool this will move the ashes around and loosen them up so that they collapse nicely on the unlit tobacco.</div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div>#4 Final thoughts - Your pipe is new. A new pipe can cause your tobacco to not stay lit. You got to break it in first, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">develope</span> some cake in the bowl before she will start staying lit for you. Also you may want to try putting a portion of your tobacco you want to smoke out on plate to dry for 1-2hrs or up 24. </div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Other helpful thoughts:</span></div><div><br /></div><div>#1: Take advantage of the wide community of knowledge You need to find what works for you within the arena of shared knowledge among the pipe smoking community. Find online forums. Talk with your local tobacconist. Get involved and experiment to find what works for you. </div><div><br /></div><div>#2: Pipe smoking is organic in that you, your instruments, and your ingredients are always in flux and you will learn to adapt and work the little subtleties of each. So relax. You will not always have a bowl that you never have to relight and that's okay if you got the basics down. (see 1-3)</div><div><br /></div><div>#3: Remember to always love it. That is really important! You have entered a very special hobby and lifestyle that will continue to surprise you with depth each day you learn more about it. Your goal is not to become a pipe snob but to fall more in love with the peaceful nuances of your new found hobby. Goal isn't to have zero relights but to enjoy yourself.</div><div><br /></div><div>I hope this helps and until next time may your pipes be lit and your cellars full!</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">*The entire contents of this article are written by Chris <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Rehers</span> </span></div>Zazoiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931950686661567293noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833059330930098968.post-34493136568225652862009-01-10T14:02:00.001-08:002009-01-10T22:18:19.605-08:00How many pipes do you need?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWcuoBvwtrHX4Wau_v3JYjYaLwDGWTAJFB5FeBT3TanfwFZIxF0ANSSexZKwP-ggRyWYPFmUWTE8-9mxsS6SfBhRqzs5_dZOg__txr2Q_AHsAu24FuEgoIZpFknQMKQRk2VfTW-BDr_sc/s1600-h/pipe+tobacco+cellar+01.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWcuoBvwtrHX4Wau_v3JYjYaLwDGWTAJFB5FeBT3TanfwFZIxF0ANSSexZKwP-ggRyWYPFmUWTE8-9mxsS6SfBhRqzs5_dZOg__txr2Q_AHsAu24FuEgoIZpFknQMKQRk2VfTW-BDr_sc/s400/pipe+tobacco+cellar+01.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289789652363497154" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">How many pipes do you need to have a decent rotation? </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">The answer has to be based on several variables such as the following:</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 51); -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:'Times New Roman';"><ol><li><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">How often do you smoke?</span></span></span></span></li><li><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">What type of tobacco do you smoke?</span></span></span></span></li><li><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Does your smoking style lend itself more towards ending up with a somewhat dry or wet pipe?</span></span></span></span></li><li><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Do you smoke the same tobacco all day?</span></span></span></span></li></ol><p><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">As a general rule you should allow at least 1 to 2 hours for your pipe to rest after you finish smoking. This allows enough time for your pipe to properly cool down and dry out ... for the most part. The time of tobacco you smoke plays a role too. Aromatic tobacco burns slightly wetter and tends to cause a pipe to retain moisture longer. Virginias tend to burn cleaner and drier and sometimes the pipe can be put back in action in as little as 30 - 45 minutes. If you are accustomed to smoking your pipe enough to conflict with these suggested times then you should be using 2 or more pipes in your daily rotation. If you are a "wet" smoker or have a few cherished pipes that matter to smoker a tad on the wet side than you should also be using 2 or more pipes in your daily rotation. It is best to dedicate a pipe for each type of tobacco that you smoke. So, if you smoke more than one type of tobacco during the coarse of the day than you'll need to add more pipes into your daily rotation. Each pipe in your rotation should have the minimum of 2 days off after being used for the day and cleaned every 5 - 10 bowls depending on the tobacco smoked and your smoking habits.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Hmmmm ... So let's do the math ... well let's not and say we did and sum up with the following general rules of thumb; If you smoke on a daily basis and have a good pipe cleaning and care schedule established the bare minimum amount of pipes in your rotation should be no less than 3. 7 would be the ideal minimum and would ensure well rested, fresh pipes and spread out your time spent cleaning. What's right for you? Simply take these suggested minimum rotations and factor in the four questions above. </span></span></span></span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Chris Rehers writes: I use a minimum of 10 pipes but I also clean mine after complete cooling. So I am able to smoke the same pipe 2-3 times in a 24hr period. I also like to have a couple pipes dedicated to particular blends that are always in my pipe tobacco rotation. For instance I have one pipe I smoke nothing but Frog Morton out of. Then I have a pipe dedicated to random english blends and another for aromatics. Your pipe dedication is completely up to you and how much you want to devote to your hobby. Also the more discerning your palate becomes the more you will probably move toward a consistent pipe dedication.</span></span></span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Hope this helps and until next time, may your pipes be lit and your cellars full!</span></span></span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">partial source: vegassmoke</span></span></p></span></div>Zazoiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931950686661567293noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833059330930098968.post-29635360593703321462009-01-10T13:50:00.001-08:002009-01-10T22:04:04.994-08:00Pipe Shapes and Types<div>Here is chart of the basic shapes you will encounter in Pipe shape selecting; minus the churchwarden and semi-churchwarden.</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc38anqA5RY7hyphenhypheny2NAPzUwd9mcI4IyB3ksorlnnRQS7Z2QgiDhaUmKLCVnffmdhMvbc7mp1FtNRStudFSPQvGhaTH8F4pfsgDmcBJVGHCg78hG9c13BMGSRJHdVmtLJo2PmF9gXDP1LPs/s1600-h/pipe-shapes2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 334px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc38anqA5RY7hyphenhypheny2NAPzUwd9mcI4IyB3ksorlnnRQS7Z2QgiDhaUmKLCVnffmdhMvbc7mp1FtNRStudFSPQvGhaTH8F4pfsgDmcBJVGHCg78hG9c13BMGSRJHdVmtLJo2PmF9gXDP1LPs/s400/pipe-shapes2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289786138733771586" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpbBoyuNEE127NlE88lVMKfn_ZVe21ha1YH9ts7gyj2sT2m-pP6x30ml-fGzf_nHHiHag3uI2eSMUbZhh5pSGq8dXHoKYgSa4V2uQK-6sMnj1d0TtmIJvg5Fsu1H37cVelnN_up4C1K8w/s1600-h/Pipeshapes.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 325px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpbBoyuNEE127NlE88lVMKfn_ZVe21ha1YH9ts7gyj2sT2m-pP6x30ml-fGzf_nHHiHag3uI2eSMUbZhh5pSGq8dXHoKYgSa4V2uQK-6sMnj1d0TtmIJvg5Fsu1H37cVelnN_up4C1K8w/s400/Pipeshapes.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289785937193509122" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;"><p align="justify" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="13px" style=" text-align: justify; ">There are basically three types of tobacco pipes commonly used:</p><p align="justify" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="13px" style=" text-align: justify; "><strong>COBCORN</strong> - A great beginner pipe; if you decide pipe smoking is not for you, you haven’t spent a lot of money. Actually made from corncob, it is easily cared for, very durable, and disposable. Eventually they wear out but you can always buy another one for about $5.</p><p align="justify" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="13px" style=" text-align: justify; "><strong>BRIAR</strong> - This is the closely grained burl joint between the stem and roots of the Heath tree, which grows in rocky slopes on the hillsides of Mediterranean countries. This burl is very tough, close-grained, and porous. It will not crack when exposed to heat. Good briar is hard to find, as the larger shrubs take a very long time to mature. The most suitable root may be 80 to 100 years old, and the finest pipe briar may be from a shrub that is over 200 years old.</p><p class="justified" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; ">he easiest way to tell if you have a well-aged briar is by the weight. A pipe that is made with well-aged briar will be very light in weight. If you hold two similar pipes together by the stem, the lighter, more balanced pipe will inevitably be made with older briar. Many of the very inexpensive drugstore pipes, like Dr. Grabow, are made with very young or flawed briar. Many of these cheaper pipes rely on filters to keep the smoke cool. A properly aged briar does not need a filter because the briar is extremely porous. Briar pipes are rated by the purity of the grain. A perfectly straight grain or Birdseye grain (little tight grained swirls), will command a very steep price. These pipes are purely for aesthetics and prized by collectors. They do not smoke any differently than a less-than-perfect grain. You can also save a considerable amount of money if you are not concerned with grain quality.</p><p class="justified" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; ">f you really want to find a good pipe for a bargain, you might want to opt for a sandblast briar. The briar used for these pipes have flaws in them such as very ugly grain or little holes in the wood. These pipes are then sandblasted into a rough grain. Sandblasted pipes are extremely porous and smoke very cool. Briar pipes are also sold as seconds. The tiny holes or imperfections in these pipes are filled with putty and then stained. Many of these pipes can be purchased for $5 to $20. If perfect, these pipes would sell for considerably more money.</p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; "><strong>MEERSCHAUM</strong> - Composed of the fossilized shells of tiny sea creatures that fell to the ocean floor millions of years ago, the highest quality meerschaum is found in only one place in the world: Eskisehir, in central Turkey. Many meerschaum pipes are hand carved into works of art. The meerschaum pipe gives the tobacco a very unique, cool smoking flavor. It absorbs far more moisture than a briar pipe. The pipe starts out pearl-white and eventually becomes a beautiful deep-brown color as it breaks in. This is one of the most appealing features of this type of pipe. Meerschaum pipes are a prized addition to many smokers’ collections.</p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 51); font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:16px;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Q</span><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#666633;">: I'm a relatively new pipe smoker. .... how much should I spend on a pipe? Rich S.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">A</span><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#666633;">: There are several factors to consider when purchasing a pipe as a new smoker. The first, and probably the most obvious, is a function of your individual financial situation. $100 for some is a lot of money and for others not. Secondly, what brought you to pipe smoking? Cigars? Quitting cigarettes? Curiosity? What I'm getting at is ... might this be a fad or is it something you are willing to put the time into? Lastly, do you plan on smoking mainly outdoors or in the comfort of any easy chair? Based on your thoughts about what I've posed to you, here are our recommendations;<br />Buy the most pipe you can afford at this time. Whatever you do, do not buy a cheap drug store type pipe. They simply do not smoke very well and will give you a bad first impression of pipe smoking in general. The smoking quality of pipes does increase as the cost of the pipe increases until you get to the $100 - $150 range. After that you start to pay for the aesthetic qualities of the pipe. There are some great smoking $40 pipes on our web site such as the <a href="http://vegassmokes.com/pipes/italian/savinelli/savinelli7.htm">Savinelli Budget Pipes</a> and the <a href="http://vegassmokes.com/budget_tobacco_pipes.htm">Brindisi</a> line. A step up from there would be the main line <a href="http://vegassmokes.com/pipes/italian/savinelli/savinelli_pipes.htm">Savinelli</a>, <a href="http://vegassmokes.com/pipes/italian/brebbia/Gallery/brebbia_pipes.htm">Brebbia</a> and <a href="http://vegassmokes.com/pipes/denmark/stanwellpipes/Gallery/stanwell_pipes.htm">Stanwell</a>. When selecting a pipe I believe pride of ownership plays a role as well. Also remember to leave a little room in your budget for a decent tamper and tobacco pouch. These two items will greatly enhance your smoking pleasure. As to why I asked where you'll be smoking your pipe for the most part ... the answer is simple. If you plan on doing a lot of smoking outdoors, while working in the yard and such, you might what to consider a rusticated pipe. The wear and tear of being outdoors will be far less noticeable on a pipe with a rough finish. Rusticated pipes generally cost less than smooth pipes. If you'll be smoking mostly indoors treat yourself to a smooth, polished pipe with as nice a grain pattern as you can find in your price range. As you sit and enjoy your pipe indoors you'll find that your senses will come alive. Smell, taste and touch all play a role. With a handsome pipe even sight becomes a pleasure. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Q</span><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#666633;">: I'm interested in buying my first pipe. Should I get a bent style pipe or straight? Malcom T.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">A</span><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#666633;">: Pipes are like shoes in many respects. What is attractive and comfortable to one person might be all wrong for another. From a technical stand point, here are a few considerations. Straight pipes tend to burn a little more evenly, cleanly and perhaps even a little cooler. The trade off is that holding it firmly in your teeth requires much more effort than a bent pipe due to basic leverage. If you tire of holding it in your teeth you'll need a free hand to hold it. Also, those of us who, over the course of time, have traded in our natural teeth for the man made kind might not have an easy time with larger straight pipes. I find straight pipes with saddle stems to be the most comfortable ... but that's me. Bent pipes are much easier to hold in your mouth and do not exert nearly as much leverage as a straight pipe. They also allow the smoker to catch an occasional whiff of their own tobacco directly from the bowl. Most people find them much easier to light and keep lit because you can see more of what your doing. The downside? When holding a bent pipe in your mouth over an extended period of time saliva tends to run down the stem causing moisture in the bowl which leads to a hot, gurgling pipe. Some less expensive bent pipes will not pass a pipe cleaner through without taking the stem off. That's OK when the bowl is cool but a major no-no when the bowl is hot.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 51);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 17px; font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">partial source: vegassmoke</span></span><br /></span></p><p></p></span>Zazoiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931950686661567293noreply@blogger.com80tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833059330930098968.post-86597766982914160392009-01-10T11:56:00.001-08:002009-01-10T22:18:42.910-08:00Tobacco Cellar?

Actually, I think it ages even better! A lot of tobacco smokers will not even smoke recently purchased tins of tobacco but rather store them for aging, the storage place is called a tobacco cellar. So now you know what people mean by, "hey you should cellar some of this stuff."

Most major changes occur after the six month mark then the changes are more subtle and take longer to occur.

The best way to age tobacco is to buy it in a sealed tin and keep it sealed. Bulk tobacco simply doesn't offer the same results. Once you expose them to air the aging process is cut but not all is lost. If you find a tobacco you like you may buy in bulk and if its still fresh you can break up the tobacco and transfer it to air-tight jars like Mason or Ball jars. Make sure your tins are stored in a cool and dry place...you don't want rusting...nothing worse than aging a tin for 10 years only to pop it open to see it ruined by a hole due to rust. No need to refrigerate the tobacco either which may cause damage to the cell structure of the tobacco anyway. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">DO NOT vacuum seal!</span></span> Bad idea all around. You need some oxygen to maintain the aging process so stick with any air-tight jar and you will be good to go. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Also I prefer to store bulk tobacco in smaller jars of 8oz mainly because you are gonna want to test them over time and if you put all your tobacco in one large jar once you open it you are stuck smoking the entire bulk you stored for aging even if you think its not quite ready yet. Whereas if you spread it over several 8oz jars you can smoke up on 8oz jar and leave the other jars for another date should you need to.</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">#4</span></span> Ok you have finally aged a tin of tobacco for six months and you are ready to sit down to smoke it. Before you do though you should go out and purchase a fresh can of the same tobacco so you can notice the changes, especially if this is your first time or you are not yet familiar with the subtleties of the tobacco you are smoking.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">#5</span></span> Need a way of tracking what tobacco is in your cellar?

I never had to dry out, however, and needed no relights after two scorches and initial light.</p><p>Smoke: What we have here is a consistent smoke that is mildly sweet, which comes off as either a mild vanilla or a cream. The sweetness does not force itself nor taste artificial probably because of the Cavendish and Black Cavendish tag team. The sweetness comes through on initial puff and trails off into a mild smokiness. It is kind of like having desert before the meal, sweet and salty.</p><p>Final: However, the description may sound inviting but ROI is just ok when you consider how many other blends are on the market. Nothing special to see here. Just a change of pace without overdoing casing or artificial sweeteners.</p><p>Notes about Cavendish: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Cavendish is more a method to treat tobacco than a type. English Cavendish uses a dark flue or fire cured Virginia which is steamed and then stored under pressure to permit it to cure and ferment for several days to several weeks. When done well, this tobacco is really fine stuff. Cavendish can be produced out of any tobacco type (mainly Virginia's and Burley's are used). The original English Cavendish is produced out of Virginia tobacco, which is slightly flavoured and heated by high pressure. This will give you a very dark, black tobacco. The modern version of Cavendish is generally much more flavoured. The natural taste of tobacco is almost gone. The flavouring is also called "Casing". This is the term used when you add a considerable amount of additives to the tobacco. This is usually done by producing a fluid mixture of sugar, liquorice or any kind of aromas in which the tobacco is soaked. The goal is to produce a sweet and smooth aroma. Modern Cavendish tobacco comes in numerous flavours, cherry, vanilla, rum, chocolate, strawberry, coconut .......and many other flavors.</span></span></span></p></span></td></tr></tbody></table></span></div>Zazoiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931950686661567293noreply@blogger.com32tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833059330930098968.post-89482378633497244142009-01-09T22:28:00.000-08:002009-01-10T22:04:57.899-08:00Pipe Packing: Frank Method<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggqFECcIdGUZ0Eij1WwlL00g0HR5xJjx3-hGHxrvbSv8MFdtip3oKvV4qZHcsSpTZKLQgen2f1a0b8l2HNEhHIbpcsDe7IzDBT98tyrf5CuU8c6Ku1UJtd8rh-kYI5wE2Oafv8j3dlzRE/s1600-h/Crosby5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 274px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggqFECcIdGUZ0Eij1WwlL00g0HR5xJjx3-hGHxrvbSv8MFdtip3oKvV4qZHcsSpTZKLQgen2f1a0b8l2HNEhHIbpcsDe7IzDBT98tyrf5CuU8c6Ku1UJtd8rh-kYI5wE2Oafv8j3dlzRE/s320/Crosby5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289549723333136962" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>There are two main ways to pack your pipe properly and one of those ways is often called the Frank Method.

I was a bit apprehensive, Sherlock is quite a name to live up to, but Sherlock's Reserve does this quite well. This is quite good for a mild English tobacco and I didn't have to dry out my bag at all. Fairly nice smell, but not a "wife pleaser" I'd say. Latakia and Virginia very apparent in the flavor, the casing is slight, perhaps an alcohol which is fine by me and nothing to detract from the essential "tobacconess" of the taste.</p><p>For English smokers this might be a good all day smoke, for aromatic smokers this could be a Lat to get your "feet wet" on without being blown away. I think I'll be buying it again when I use mine up, and that won't be too long in coming. </p></span><table class="basic_2col_table" style="outline-style: none; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid;

A delicious break and treat from my norm.<p>Due to copyright law this blend is now being called King Arthur but same delicious weed!</p></span></td></tr></tbody></table></span></div>Zazoiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931950686661567293noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833059330930098968.post-25848853953448329832009-01-09T10:31:00.001-08:002009-01-10T21:59:00.836-08:00Just For Him: Shortcut To Mushroom<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF3mAncztMeI4vvl8SsIXZNaXY5KEIbyVmj1GliomXvV-VRyXYwfA2es_UJUCYJXQjXUfGhn2fVUqlSv3TVhanEzWyz8plyQPdU8RHHMJ_UuF4e4guBrMC_Bn6asD9JDcgjLxHMFYdli0/s1600-h/pipeweed.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 202px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF3mAncztMeI4vvl8SsIXZNaXY5KEIbyVmj1GliomXvV-VRyXYwfA2es_UJUCYJXQjXUfGhn2fVUqlSv3TVhanEzWyz8plyQPdU8RHHMJ_UuF4e4guBrMC_Bn6asD9JDcgjLxHMFYdli0/s400/pipeweed.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289363420577057634" /></a><br /><div>The following is a review of Just For Him's Shortcut To Mushroom in the Middle Earth Pipeweed Series.

Special thanks to the blenders in dar Shire.</p><p>Others have compared it to Frog Morton On The Town, one of my favorites, and thats a good comparison. As far as it tasting like mushrooms...I can't tell and I hate mushrooms. This blend just has a smoky/earthy feel and taste to it and burns cool. Sometimes this blend can give me a nice nicotine fog, eyelids a little droopy - nice and not overdone.</p><p>So if you like thee ole Lata and want to smoke something with a gimiki name then fire some of this up!</p></span></td></tr></tbody></table></span></div>Zazoiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931950686661567293noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833059330930098968.post-68168029293732087532009-01-09T10:28:00.000-08:002009-01-10T21:57:15.863-08:00McCleland: No. 24 Virginia<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKG61LFcN3oQ6cmGt1KhZ7ucwCIoznlJmNQXIZ4JAljUs4SC6lhDkkp10xRodcaRNalM5GoFiPodfyl_9nlR9E4D1F0m_d8nbXdP5sPIUNXfQEcwQKKKoAZMFHcPF2z28Q7mlqg926D0o/s1600-h/mc_24.gif"><img style="display:block;

No.24 was really a pleasant surprise for me for I wasn't expecting to enjoy it very much...but did...a lot. I'm thinking what made this a good experience was that No.24 was richer and fuller than I expect this type of VA to be. This will easly replace my tin of Mac Barens Virginia Flake...hands down! McCelland sure creates some yummy stuff. I will be keeping this in supply.<p>Goes well after a bowl of Frog Morton or On The Town.</p></span></td></tr></tbody></table></span></div>Zazoiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931950686661567293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833059330930098968.post-21896026738348199642009-01-09T10:26:00.000-08:002009-01-10T21:57:15.864-08:00Mac Baren: Virginia Flake<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjMjREe6jmy6pPTUZHaqFRvWR8tPEqkucq6tH1GYZG-zVoZ5l7ExgP7nCJ82roRXSXnTMQIaqsw3cvIHo2IJjF7XiPTkWSACOjahOXIqVWug8y9hz9spA_y7SnrP9a2bzTZk8tq8tYQxg/s1600-h/Virginia_Flake.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Smells as it should...Virginia-y...provokes a mouth watery sensation...not sure because it smells good or you can smell insta-bite.</p><p>The joy in this type of cut is rubbing. Who doesn't like to touch their smoke a little bit? I love getting in there and sifting and rubbing. Good times.</p><p>Now light it up but be gentle. No huffing here.</p><p>Mid-Bowl: If smoked carefully the Virginia's come out nicely. A lemon, tart, honey splashes the pallet. This can go bad though if you puff harder to derive more of that goodness.</p><p>Finish: Decent smoke but a lot of care, at first, can take away from this blend. Finishes nicely.</p><p>Not bad but I will continue to my search for something more in VA.</p></span></td></tr></tbody></table></span></div>Zazoiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931950686661567293noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833059330930098968.post-56575509512384307572009-01-09T10:22:00.001-08:002009-01-10T21:57:15.864-08:00Just For Him: Treebeard<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5UOeFwf4N8GLF6wPmk-XzVlBki5J23qsROgTPWYAb_perMJDoxV_Kllm3NWntwfw0Mfjks970MfT9DbAffbnDwZbqRTJEhMzoX4y3XHpMSE5gSpNMf0FdHxmTpIGzniHIogm12AwkQvo/s1600-h/pipeweed.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Just For Him blend starts off creamy and rounds off into a delicious nutty euphoria. You can find these at justforhim.com. Call them they will sell by oz.</p><p>UPDATE: 1/09/2009 They now sell them by the oz on their website at <a href="http://www.justforhim.com">justforhim.com</a></p></span></td></tr></tbody></table></span></div>Zazoiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931950686661567293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833059330930098968.post-31942145330011876932009-01-09T10:18:00.000-08:002009-01-10T21:54:39.534-08:00Rattray: Terry Red<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyWf172yNLXmvRPK28R3W1DlBC-BKXSqbfoLV4g9Pm-pGp3mbrNahVryUvOZjSKVsKbluazZHFHLL6LfNCVAfp1uw8Zl0_pvbkNPyYLK9Ei-vElOaz8u9u24NxtzIfdID9nPpOXFJ8mI0/s1600-h/8217.jpg"><img style="display:block;

About 60% of the nations tobacco crop is Virginia. Virginia is mildest of all blending tobaccos and has the highest level of natural dextrose (sugar), which basically gives it a light sweet taste. Virginia is used in virtually all blends, is a good burner and aids in lighting.<br /><br />Pure Virginia tobacco is best known from flake types. Dunhill's Light Flake is a very example. Medium in strength and rather sweet in taste. Several blends by Rattray comes into mind also. Marlin Flake being a rather heavy member of the family, but still very sweet. The Danish manufacturer A&C Petersen has the Blue Caledonian. Mild to medium in strength, and a nice pure taste of Virginia tobacco.<br /><br /><b>Burley</b>: Burley tobacco is the next most popular tobacco for pipe tobacco blending. It contains almost no sugar, which gives a much dryer and full aroma than Virginia. Burley is used in many aromatic blends because it absorbs the flavorings. Burley tobacco burns slowly and is a cool smoke, which makes it a nice addition to blends that tend to burn fast and strong.<br /><br />The technical term for Burley is "air cured". This air curing is done in large open barns, by the natural air flow, for one or two months. The color is ranging from light brown to mahogany.<br /><br />Pure Burley blends are mainly produced by U.S. and Danish companies. Blends like Blue Edgeworth, Old English and Half-and-Half are classic examples. The latter being slightly flavoured. Burley is also the main ingredient in most of the Danish McBaren blends.<br /><br /><b>Spice tobacco</b>: Spice tobacco is actually not one type of tobacco, but rather a broad variety of more special types, used in small amounts to create an interesting blend. These would include Oriental, Latakia, Perique and Kentucky among others. Most of them are frequently used in English blends.<br /><br /><b>Oriental</b>: A variety of tobaccos, grown in Turkey, the Balkans, and Russia. The best known types are Izmir, Samsun, Yedidje, Cavella and Bursa. A common characteristic is a dusty, dry and sometimes slightly sourish aroma. Some of them are also used in "exotic" cigarettes from Egypt and other Arab countrys.<br /><br /><b>Latakia</b>: Latakia is the result of a curing process involving fire curing the leaves over controlled fires of aromatic woods and fragrant herbs. Probably the most well known spice tobacco. Mainly grown in Cyprus and northern Syria. After the leaves are harvested and dried, they are hung in tightly closed barns and smoke-cured. Small smouldering fires of oak and pine fill the barn with smoke, and covering the leaves with smoke particles.<br /><br />Latakia produces a very rich, heavy taste, with an aroma that has a "smoky" characteristic . Latakia is an indispensable ingredient of traditional English mixtures. The content can vary from a few percent to about 40-50%, or even more. A few smokers like it at 100%. This would tend to be harsh, not because Latakia is a strong tobacco, but because it burns and tends to dry out your mouth and throat.<br /><br />Both Dunhill and Rattray have a number of blends that contain Latakia. Dunhill 965, Early Morning and London Mixture are from Dunhill, and Red Rapperee and Black Mallory from Rattray. Seven Reserve from Rattray has a moderate content of Latakia, and might be a good introduction to these kind of blends. Bengal Slices is unique - a flake tobacco with a moderate to high content of Latakia. A very lovely blend if you like Latakia.<br /><br /><b>Perique</b>: Perique is a Red Burley type of tobacco, grown and processed in St. James, Louisiana near New Orleans. Perique is a rare, slow burning, strong-tasting tobacco. Production is small, so its value is quite high.<br /><br />Perique is cured like Burley, but for a shorter time. There after the leaves are put in large oak barrels or in Cypress logs under heavy pressure, which will squeeze some juice out and make the whole thing ferment. Once in a while the leaves are taken out for a period and then repacked and re-fermented. This process takes at least one full year. Some times even longer.<br /><br />The aroma of a tobacco treated by this method is full bodied. The nicotine content is overwhelming, thus Perique can not be smoked by itself. Due to its full-bodied nature, Perique is used on a limited basis in blends. About 5 % in a blend is the maximum. It is usually blended with Virginia to give it more body. Escudo is a good representative of a Virginia blend with Perique. Dunhill's Elizabethan Mixture is a very nice example of Virginia mixed with a touch of Perique.<br /><br /><b>Kentucky</b>: This is actually a specially treated Burley tobacco, produced in Kentucky. Unlike Burley, Kentucky is fire-cured. Its aroma is not as heavy as with Latakia, but very aromatic and unique. The nicotine content tends to be rather high, and therefor is used in limited amounts.<br /><br /><b>Havana</b>: Cuban and other cigar tobaccos are used in a limited range of Virginia blends and mixtures.<br /><br /><b>Cavendish</b>: Cavendish is more a method to treat tobacco than a type. English Cavendish uses a dark flue or fire cured Virginia which is steamed and then stored under pressure to permit it to cure and ferment for several days to several weeks. When done well, this tobacco is really fine stuff. Cavendish can be produced out of any tobacco type (mainly Virginia's and Burley's are used). The original English Cavendish is produced out of Virginia tobacco, which is slightly flavoured and heated by high pressure. This will give you a very dark, black tobacco. A few English Cavendish blends exist on the market - Rattray's Dark Fragrant and Black Virginia plus McConnel's Maduro.<br /><br />The modern version of Cavendish is generally much more flavoured. The natural taste of tobacco is almost gone. The flavouring is also called "Casting". This is the term used when you add a considerable amount of additives to the tobacco. This is usually done by producing a fluid mixture of sugar, liquorice or any kind of aromas in which the tobacco is soaked. The goal is to produce a sweet and smooth aroma. Modern Cavendish tobacco comes in numerous flavours, cherry, vanilla, rum, chocolate, strawberry, coconut .......and many other flavors.</blockquote><blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; "><b>BLACK CAVENDISH.</b> Most black cavendishes that form the base of many American-style aromatics are sweetened, stoved versions of certain burley tobaccos from Kentucky and Tennessee, as well as some dark air-cured tobaccos from central Virginia. The best have a caramel flavor, reminiscent of syrupy pancakes-mild, sweet, full-flavored but with a slight aftertaste similar to the burnt taste on toasted marshmallows.</span><br /></blockquote><span style="font-size:100%;"><b>Tobacco Classifications</b></span><br /><blockquote><b>Air-Cured</b>: These tobaccos are dried naturally, sheltered from sunlight in large barns. The drying is carried out on the whole plant or as individual leaves. Sugar is the by-product of this three month drying process.<br /><br /><b>Dark Tobaccos</b>: These tobacco plants are very mature and developed at the time of picking. The leaf is subjected to a second fermentation process. These leaves are used to make cigars.<br /><br /><b>Fire-Cured</b>: Akin to Dark, its natural drying is completed by a wood-fired fumigation (oak is used by the traditionalists).<br /><br /><b>Sun-Cured</b>: Almost all of Oriental Tobaccos are cured by this method. Oriental Tobaccos are grown in Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria and adjoining countries.</blockquote><blockquote><br /></blockquote></span></p></a></span></div>Zazoiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931950686661567293noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833059330930098968.post-12996861365925689462009-01-09T09:16:00.000-08:002009-01-10T21:59:00.837-08:00G.L.Pease: Telegraph Hill<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8sC6Kl4jwpWivUWe1T04onNUT-ig3Cx9BBEjI-mQ9G6G3KSUvv7-OnQvYc6becyBg-MpWM2Hp0598yh08h5TKQIThwQldUsCGXe_LaGdIO-YX5CI2X2Po9n767L2qv6WnOx8CAmSIzug/s1600-h/telegraph_hill_tobacco.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 316px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8sC6Kl4jwpWivUWe1T04onNUT-ig3Cx9BBEjI-mQ9G6G3KSUvv7-OnQvYc6becyBg-MpWM2Hp0598yh08h5TKQIThwQldUsCGXe_LaGdIO-YX5CI2X2Po9n767L2qv6WnOx8CAmSIzug/s400/telegraph_hill_tobacco.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289344486416692258" /></a><br /><div>The following is a review of G.L.

This is a good quality smoke but not my bag of tricks...alone. Vapers find their way into my rotation as a supplement and Tele works well in this regard. As a donut is to coffee, orange slices to cigars etc so too is Tele excellent after two Latakia rich bowls back to back. I absolutely melt smoking this stuff after two bowls of Dunhill's Nightcap. Two Nighties and my eyes are a little heavy and my pallet is caked, this is where Telegraph Hill shines for me. After the nightcaps the Vapers penetrate my pallet with a refreshing flavor. My nightcaping smokes consist no longer of just a primarily rich dark Latakia blend but an added VA or Vapor to boot and Telegraph Hill rings my number in this regard...thank you Pease.</span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></span></div>Zazoiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931950686661567293noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833059330930098968.post-90479171481624092952009-01-09T09:12:00.000-08:002009-01-10T21:57:15.864-08:00McCleland: Super Balkan<div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Ev4XPTaLSxTqYjQjareMNfAI55cs3hro_dhrVFnPDqgppYfsJeZNizBGC23ORZkktJ4X0kBPaczkP2N3ho2tsIiEVQjydfzIaomMr_m2YdojCX3BRoAaE8riE6iCjz2dJMCuooJDOB4/s1600-h/pipes-cigars-tobacco_2032_112074431.jpg"><img style="display:block;

It was blended before the first World War especially for the Very Rev. Dr. John White, sometime minister of the Barony Kirk in Glasgow and Moderator of the General Assembly in Scotland in 1929. He introduced it to Stanley Baldwin, later Earl Baldwin, Prime Ministerin 1923, 1924 and 1935. He liked it so much that regular supplies were sent down to him and it was he who suggested that it be called "Presbyterian Mixture".<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; ">Presbyterian Mixture - Ah, good ole presby...as a Reformed/Presbyterian what else should I smoke? Well, unfortunately the good doctrine I hold to does not translate to this being a good smoke...all we have in common is the name =). Now its not that this is awful weed...its, like others have said, very one-dimensional which is fine but its also bland, pretty darn bland.<p>For some reason my experience with this six years ago was much better, could be my taste development though. Anyway, it’s a cool tin and neat history behind this blend but I can take it or leave it. Its just ok, sadly so. I will polish off my tin then most likely leave it behind. =(</p></span></td></tr></tbody></table></span></div>Zazoiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931950686661567293noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833059330930098968.post-42434803008710435132009-01-09T08:58:00.000-08:002009-01-10T22:03:26.033-08:00Esoterica: Penzance<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIfT8TftSd8ZAAR88n-G5lVyyp5n_GWaXdWUcCVmoSvJlc9ODsGC09J-D1T12YzJeAZFXHz4xhouVE9jQLAJkhHuzmyOco9KIZZ55yHfsF3JNu88z0QvYwiKMJPVJoNWMuFTGCwKlmXUs/s1600-h/pipes-cigars-tobacco_2032_228480755.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Boy am I glad I found this early on! This stuff is just beautifully yummy. Packed into this tin are small sheet cakes of English smoothness. This is a rich creamy smoke no matter how you puff it...simply put its divine! Penzance is like VISA...don't leave home without it nor be without it in your supply. This is truly a darn near perfect smoke. Simply yummy!<br /></span><br />Another Review from a Reformed Church member: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; ">This unique crumble cake is what I like to take to work with me. The small tin makes it very convenient and is also a good conversation piece. The tobacco itself is very delicious. It is not as spicy or sweet as McClelland's British Woods but is on the good-bitter end of the spectrum. I never found it a "hot" smoke which my tongue appreciates very much. The slices are at the perfect moisture and I usually stuff two and crumble the third before lighting. I rarely have to relight after the initial re-light. Highly recommended... Update: Since I have discovered so many other good blends lately, I have neglected this one for a while. Today I took my trusty tin to work and was reminded of the delicious flavor of this high quality blend. You must really try this one.It is also a good "deal" in spite of the cost per tin, because it smokes slow and usually lasts an hour and a half in my group 6 poker. (2-1/2 slices) Update 12-11-03 I have not been able to locate tins of this blend locally so I broke down and purchased a 8 oz. bulk package. The package is uniquely filled with overwhelming amounts of slices (but they won't last, heh, heh, heh...) About the only difference that I noticed is that in the bulk package the slices are a lot more moist and needed airing out before packing into your pipe. I air out a few slices at a time in order to keep the rest fresh. This is still one of my favorite tobacs. It is highly recommended. Rating 5 out of 5 points. A true Reformer Blend. Enjoy.</span></td></tr></tbody></table></span></div>Zazoiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931950686661567293noreply@blogger.com3
