Best Selling Tinned Pipe Tobaccos

Escudo is well represented in my cellar and for good reason. This blend ages with the best of them. Although, I really enjoy this blend with just a year of age on it. At this time when you crack a tin it has an incredible tin note of muscadines. The smell takes me back to my childhood and stopping at fruit stands on the side of the road with my mom. The blend not only smells great but it also taste pretty darn good too. The blend supports a wonderful mix of fruit, spice and a touch of hay (particularly when it is young). Give this one a try if you have not done so already. Read Less

This tobacco is absolutely perfect. Orlik is like an old, dear friend or slipping into some comfy clothes. I prefer the smaller tin, which is probably mental - but it just tastes better to me this way. This tobacco has saved angry pipes who didn't like anything, and broken in some new pipes excellently. A standard; a classic. So terrific when your pipe aquires a taste for it after a few bowls. I cannot state enough how beloved Orlik Golden Sliced is. It is as perfect of a flake as one can hope for.

First of all, I want to apologize for my behavior because next I start cursing people. I am from China. I apologize for the stupid behavior of my compatriot "蓝一斗". I also advise "蓝一斗", please don't come out to embarrass the Chinese people again.别提别人就说你自己，你说的闻香师是个职业对吧？那么你是从事这个工作的吗？你有拿到相关执照或证书吗？如果不是那你不就是纯意淫吗？造一堆词出来显摆自己跟警犬似的你觉得很光荣是吧？Anyone with eyes can see you're ripping off Jim.Inks Read Less

You guys really need to stop review bombing stuff and actually contact Smoking Pipes (they have excellent customer service). If you can’t figure out how to Internet maybe just go support the closest brick and mortar and stop being such miserable people.

You ruin the ability to browse things by rating when you have these temper tantrums, good tobacco is wasted on you. Read Less

This is one of C&D's core blends for a reason. Throw a rock and chances are you'll hit 1 or 2 pipe smokers who've tried it. And at the end of the day, it seems to elicit a love it or hate it response. I love it for many reasons. Firstly, I'm a burley man through and through, and BF delivers. Secondly, it brings the nic and the strength without blowing out my palate for the day. And last but not least, this is a very simple blend that takes very little thought. It's best sipped, especially in a Missouri Meerschaum cob of absolutely any size. I can smoke bowl after bowl of this while drawing up spec sheets and doing paperwork. Awesome blend again C&D!

I understand the marketing of the small batch series, and I enjoy something that comes out yearly or every so often so that it's special, like a Christmas blend. But they all sell out within a few hours. Perhaps lower the maximum tins allowed, at first. I mean cmon guys, you WILL sell this blend. Give people a chance to get one. Especially if they are a person who has spent thousands of dollars on your tobacco. Just my 2 cents. Read Less

I wasn't blown away by this at first. However, the more I smoke the more I reach for it. This is a nice mild blend, burns well to a nice ash and takes to a flame easily. I will be buying more, this is really started to grow on me. As a follow up to this review, I just bought a larger tin, this has really grown on me and moving it to 5 stars. Read Less

I don't write reviews often, but this one seemed to be a given. As is my usual practice, I opened a tin of Peterson EMP, the day after I got it, and the day before I smoked it. The introduction of air to a vacuum sealed tin always tends to excite the poor tobacco that has been deprived, and it gets it pretty excited. Well I must say I was incredibly happy to have EMP back. From the moment I opened the tin I could remember the wonderful scent of Dunhill EMP. From the moment of the 1st burn, everything was right in the world again. Thank you Peterson for picking this back up, and keeping it exactly the same!! Read Less

This is a very good blend, but not for $25/tin - Capstan Blue has lost it's value for me... there are a number of Virginias I have found that are close enough for nearly half the price. STG is looking for the kind of margins they get with cigars with this product, and apparently are getting them! I've moved on... Read Less

Just kidding. Stop review bombing stuff. It's absurd you can even review something when you haven't purchased it. Cry in emails to Smoking Pipes about not being fast enough to get the limited release. Leave the reviews for actual reviews. Read Less

Please stop reviewing pipe tobacco if you are inexperienced or can't taste. Eight State Burley is not egregiously topped, it has the taste of quality burleys mixed with top notch orientals, Virginia, and black cavendish. The burleys add a nutty, woody, and cocoa like sweetness. The orientals translate to a delightful buttery mustiness. That absolutely is not coming from a "Sun Bear" topping like so many misinformed reviewers have said here. I just don't want you to mislead others with your inexperience. This is pure, powerful blending of tobacco and not flavored with crap. If you're at all familiar with burley blends you know there's almost always a little something added to round out the smoke and make a more pleasant experience. Same is true of nearly all "natural" tobaccos. These are not added flavors but complimentary flavors and when well done they are usually barely noticeable, sometimes not at all. Or the addition can be done as with Haddo's Delight which has an obvious spirit addition that works fantastically with the tobacco blend. With Eight State Burley, the topping is apparent in the tin note but light and disappears behind the tobaccos. I pick up cocoa and a similar but greatly reduced note of whatever is used in Savinelli 145 (even in that blend, the topping was readily apparent but not heavy in tin note but took a far back seat during the smoke). Oriental forward with a solid foundation of burleys first half of the bowl which come into balance as they're smoked down. Pleasant, repeatable smoke that has nuance but isn't complex. Really looking forward to what just a year or two does for this blend. Read Less

Ugh, I hate saying it... It's easily in my top 5 favorite tobacco of all time. If I only had this to smoke for the rest of my life, I would die a happy man. Bit, don't buy any of it because YOU will probably hate it. I'll bear the burden of trying to buy and smoke it all so you guys dont have to. No need to thank me. Just move right along. I heard 10 Russians is a close match! Cheers!!! Read Less

Its one of the best Latakia blends if you enjoy that. But give me Galloping Gertie..You sold out of Hogshead too fast. I literally looked away from you for one day. Gone. Read Less

This is an OK Virginia plug, but nothing special. It smokes cool, but only mild natural flavor from the tobacco. Some aging might help. And for the 中国人 scalpers who want to buy it all and resell at a markup - stick to trading Pokemon cards. This industry is a bad business model for that behavior. Fake 5 Star reviews to create Artificial Scarcity only works on here. Most of us will find the same product elsewhere even if you buy it all here. We'll then shrug our shoulders at the FOMO and laugh at you. Get a real job. Read Less

Let me start off by saying when I first started smoking a pipe, I did what most do tried aromatics, I almost quit the same week until I discovered Virginia Virginia perique , English blends. I’ve smoked a pipe off and on for about 15 years only the last four years it’s been more of a lifestyle than a hobby so I started dabbling in aromatics again and I’ve had only a few that I like this is one of my favorites by far. You can still taste all of the Virginia’s when you sip it slowly you get the nutty and toffee caramel maple goodness. I often resort to this when I’m with some of my family and some of my friends that don’t particularly care for some of the blends that I smoke I smoked this at my son’s football games and occasionally when we’re some of his karate matches every time I spoke as I get at least five or six compliments and asking what I’m smoking. I really hate how people get on here and bash some of these blends mean if it’s not for you it’s not for you. Why did you even try it? If you know you’re not gonna like it did you do it just for something to talk about? I mean come on guys people that want real opinions come here to look and see what we think you can give you your review but don’t bash it grow up I’ve gotten blends that I really didn’t care for, but I give my review on it letting people know what I think of it what it taste like to me I don’t sit and cry about it. We’re all grown-ups on here. Act accordingly cheers. Read Less

A lot has been said comparing the latest version of (Bell's) Three Nuns and it's predecessors, but all I've ever had is the modern take. And that I can tell you, is pretty good. It's dominating character is some tasty dark-fired Kentucky. The Virginia and Burley fall in behind the DFK with Burley coming in second most but not all of the time. The cut is curly, a.k.a. coin, and they are not tightly spun. The coins are small and fragile, basically lending themselves to an easy rub-out and they have a good moisture level. You could try to stack these but they're too small to fold. If you've had Mac Baren Dark Twist, the cut is the same. In fact, the two tobaccos are very similar. In my experience the Bell's is fuller bodied and a bit stronger in the nicotine department, but the flavors are the same...smokey without the Latakia campfire. I enjoyed this one fresh off finishing a Dark Twist 100g tin to make a side-by-side comparison for myself and I think I prefer the Mac Baren, but because they are so similar this could just be the tins I had. The Mac Baren was 7 years old, and the Three Nuns only a few months and I know that can make a big difference. If either of these sound good to you, get a tin of each. Three nuns should be tried by all. Tobaccos with pedigrees as old as this one that are still around deserve a try. Enjoy. UPDATE: Since I posted this review, Three Nuns has expanded to a nine nuns lineup: Red, Green and Yellow. It's worth mentioning that the Green tin contains Perique like the original version by Bell's. If you're looking for something akin to older versions, you may want to start with Three Nuns Green.

The tin doesn't come with the cube of wood from the barrel in this new patch. I can hardly smell the bourbon. Huge disappointment, but it's still good because it's plum pudding. Cornell&Diehl dropped the ball. Sutliff did it better. Read Less

I blame the wonderful Malcolm Guite for his love of this tobacco. Having now gotten myself some, I can undoubtedly say I'm a huge fan. Lovely sugary sweetness with overtones of baked bread and smooth herbal notes. Read Less

actually said that aloud when started my first bowl of this. been smoking it all weekend and it is right up my alley, as i'm a big fan of red VA and DFK blends. starts off with that deep red VA brown sugar sweetness poking through a smooth, mellow earthy smoke. perique comes through in the retrohale and towards the bottom of the bowl with supporting spice. overall smooth and soft as cashmere; even the flake feels soft and fluffy. smoked out of a 1932 dunhill patent billiard, as it seemed appropriate for the blend inspiration. another one that i plan to cellar, but will have a hard time keeping my hands off.

Under the solemnity of Westminster Abbey,
Time accumulates, years like paintings.The magnificent building soars to the clouds,
The echoes of history resound at this moment.The fragrance of Westminster pipe tobacco,Rising gently, like dreams and veils.
That scent, rich and intense,Like aged wine, enchanting the soul.And like the forest after rain, fresh and bewitching.The bells of the church toll leisurely,Through past and present, witnessing vicissitudes.The smoke of the pipe tobacco drifts with the wind,Thoughts fluttering, minds reaching afar.In this sacred and serene place,The charm of Westminster unfolds infinitely.The majesty of the abbey, the aroma of the pipe tobacco,Intertwined into poetry, engraved in the heart forever.
