Stands & Pouches - Smokingpipes Leather 2 Pipe Case with Pouch Tan
Fits two medium bent pipes
I was a bit nervous ordering this because of the "Not adequate" review and I smoke almost exclusively bent pipes. Upon arrival I immediately tested it by filling it with two of my most bent stemmed pipes and the usual accoutrements: czech tool, lighter, pipe cleaners, etc. Everything fit fine. I did not put any tobacco in it as I didn't want to go through the hassle and get ribbon everywhere but it seemed that there was plenty of room for anything I would need traveling. I can't imagine needing to put a full ounce of ribbon in here and being able to smoke it before it dried out, but I could certainly get whatever I would need for a short term trip. Perhaps the other reviewer has bigger pipes than mine, but I wasn't putting nosewarmers in there, they were medium sized. I wouldn't want to fit two house pipes in there, or an Oom Paul, but average-sized pipes should work fine. The leather finish had more of a mottled, oil-cloth, rustic look to it than what I see in the picture but I actually like it better that way. I'm very satisfied so far and excited to use this on future trips. A great value. Only taking off half a star because I felt the materials on the interior part where the pipes go seemed a bit cheap compared to the rest of the pouch. Also a slight rubbery smell from the tobacco pouch section, which is I'm sure from the liner...Hopefully it doesn't get into any tobacco I put in there. It's not strong but it's there, at least so far.

The Poor Man's Capstan
Smells straight up exactly like raisin bran before smoking. Once you get going it is not in-your-face but there is a sweetness with a good subtle graham cracker flavor that reminds me a lot of Capstan Blue. And that's fresh, not even aged yet. In fact after smoking one bowl of this I decided at this price I really have no need of paying 17 bucks for a tin of Capstan ever again.

Try a bit fresh if you like but don’t judge it until it has been in a Mason jar for a year. This isn’t better than escudo but with the age is satisfies that craving pretty well and for the price I will buy more of this over escudo most of the time. Be patient with the aging and you will be well rewarded for it

New favorite bulk
Just a few months in a jar does wonders. I have much fancier tinned tobaccos but I keep craving this instead. Wish it burned slower so it lasted longer. Vinegar taste comes in strong in the beginning but it burns away after a while to just sweet tangy red va . Something this cheap has no business being this good
