Product: Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead 4oz
Guys as of 9:53AM EST I literally just bought a tin as it's now back in stock.
FYI: This was a midnight release and it seemed to be sold out as of 2AM EST, but hey, let's lose our minds and start the crybaby train early. Good lord.

Product: Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead 4oz
I can feel my fellow pipe smokers frustration because I went through the same frustration at 2:00 am this morning when I went to order some of this new tobacco. But I must speak up in defense of Smoking Pipes on this one. They are an amazing organi... Read More
zation! And I think they do an amazing job of providing pipe lovers like us with incredible opportunities to get our hands on and smoke some of the most delicious pipe tobacco ever being made in the history of pipe tobacco. And they sell their often sought products in a fair and judicious way so that everyone gets a chance to have some of that great tobacco. What happened last night was obviously a glitch in the "matrix"! It happens to everyone from time to time regardless of their best efforts. I just checked on the product again, ordered 6 tins (albeit pretty pricy), and learned there is plenty more available. So go place an order you lovers of Seattle Pipe Club tobacco! By the way, your stars are not working right now on the rating line up. I give Smoking Pipes a 5 star EVERY time. Please correct my rating someone in your tech department. Thanks! Read Less

It’s 5:30am on the East coast I’m on SP see this new offering, and it’s already sold out!! Really?? Midnight drop? Bots 🤖 in China? Or maybe it’s the insatiable hoarders!!

Reminds me of a VaPer more than anything, Not much sweetness, if any. It is decent, but I don't think it's worth the price when some bulk blends put it to shame. Maybe it'll be better with some age,

So...I really want to like this. I enjoy the format. I cant find any of the flavors Ive read about. Just peppery spice for me. Ill keep working on this plug..maybe the flavor is on the inside.

Not sure what silly drama the ladies are complaining about today. Most likely sore losers. Everything Joe comes out with is stellar. Glad he is finally putting out a pure virginia blend, and sounds like he found some fantastic leaf to work with.

g a 1961 Dunhill Group 4 craggy shell pot. This is the type of tobacco you can smoke daily, and not become bored. I feel sorry for all the people that were glitched. Once they get some more in--- try again, it's worth the trouble. If you open a tin, and put it in the humidor for a short time, then the taste is even better. It blends well with HH Dark Twist too. Very smooth. Read Less

I think what we have going on here, are resellers that buy up the stock to turn a profit. I think maybe setting a limit per day on all of these small batches or limited releases will allow others to enjoy getting their hands on some.
Limited, seasonal or just new to the line?

Product: Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead 4oz
I admit that I took the bait... a solid plug of old Virginia evokes fermentation and all the nuance that accompanies it; sweetness, bread, slightly earthy, grassiness and smoothness... a sweet feed like flavor... that's what we expect and desire and ... Read More
that's what drew me in. This, in my opinion, has these but not to a great degree than other - far less expensive flakes. I would expect, at this price, a top of the line VA, like no other, that far exceeds expectations and all other flakes/plugs on the market. It doesn't. A few that come to mind that are much, much better: HH Pure Va, Sam Gawith VA Flake, Gawith and Hoggarth Kendal Dark (not a plug/flake), GL Pease Union Square, Cornell and Diehl Opening Night... all of these exceed in nuance and value, that of Hogshead. This has more citrus than I would expect in an aged, pressed VA. That contributes to sweetness but also a spice that only exists in younger brighter leaf. It's not bad, but it's certainly not worth $9/oz when judging the flavor against other, less expensive VA that provide smoother, sweeter and greater depth. Nicotine is 3 outta 5. Read Less

You just have to try it to understand. It's impressive. Despite the hype, it's a solid Virginia. I wouldn't say the Seattle Pipe Club blends are worth the $34.00 a tin. But they are good.

"opinion" is more of a question. I was under the impression that this was meant for giving personal reviews on tobaccos. I have lost interest for the time being in Hogshead as this particular forum was largely mud slinging either on Smoking Pipes or our fellow human beings in the pipe smoking community. I think it more than gracious of Smokingpipes to even approve these griping and mud slinging entries. Thank you to the few that just reviewed the Tobacco. My 5 stars is for Smokingpipes for their long suffering with some customers. Read Less

my bar is set high. I'm not a big SPC fan they are uneventful to me. Sutliff is a MacBaren company, but the difference is night and day in consistency and quality. The UNO that just came out, the latest batch of Galloping Gertie I just bought , and the last year Cringle Flake we're pretty bad. The last tobacco I bought from Sutliff I bought that was memorable was 2019 Cringle Flake. I have 4 of those after ample trading. With that being said. Smoking Pipes is popular and so are SPC blends. If you know something is going to drop. Set an alarm. It'll either drop at midnight, or when Smoking Pipes opens Eastern Time. This tobacco could use alot of age. It'll probably be something nice when it grows up. Read Less
