Cornell & Diehl - Folklore 16oz
Loving it more and more. Fills a missing spot for me.
When I first got this, the aromatic smell on the package seemed strong and I was worried. I opened it and it mellowed a lot. Moisture is perfect. Smokes super cool and doesn’t quite fall under any one genre which is great when you want something different. This has turned into a 2 x a day smoke for me and I’ve bought 2 more lbs or it. Ive never bought this much of one thing in a short time but it’s just so easy to smoke and balanced nicely.
Germain - B.K. Flake 50g
Great smoke. A few rough edges but so tasty!
Bought this one blind and I’m usually a straight Virginia or VaPer smoker with a bit of this and that on occasion. I’ve found packing this a bit tighter than normal improves burn time and over smoke. I won’t attempt to detail all the flavors. It’s a medium/full bodied tasty smoke. Def taste the Virginia and the Kentucky isn’t overpowering. Much less than say, ODF of course. I wish I had more than 2 tins.
Rattray's - Brown Clunee 50g
Never Dissappoints - Mild, Flavorful, Great Flake, Dependable
I prefer flake and ready rubbed to most other types and Brown Clunee is very easy to pack. Overall, a solid brown or dark flake is my favorite tobacco type. I smoke everything except full aromatics. I love Brown Clunée. It’s something you can smoke any time or the day or night and it will smoke great and taste great. Packs well, moisture is great out of the tin. I’ll leave the elaborate flavor experiences for others but it’s a “can’t lose to have” tobacco in my book. Same with Old Gowrie, Hal O’ the Wynd and Marlin Flake. Old Gowrie was the first I ever bought a pound of. I’d happily get a lb of each of those.
Cornell & Diehl - Haunted Bookshop Cake 2oz
An improvement over bulk.
I’ve liked Haunted Bookshop. To me, it’s what I think of when it comes to burley. It can be a bit harsh if smoked too fast but that can be said for most. My issue until now was that it was always dry. It came that way over many orders. The cake holds moisture better, keeps it packed a bit tighter and the overall smoking is much better. I’ll be buying more of this for sure. $11 isn’t too costly either.
Cornell & Diehl - Palmetto Balkan 8oz
Love it! Reminds me of the older stuff
I hadn’t finished my first large bowl all the way through before I bought another 8oz tin. Leave it at that….
Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - Pipemaster Clean and Cure 2oz
I just can’t see why
I have no idea why anyone would use this green staining stuff over just a bit of rum or any other alcohol. It’s sat in my cabinet a while now and I think I’ll dump or give away.
Drucquer & Sons - Blairgowrie 200g
A very happy surprise.
I went in on this one blind and the more I smoked it, the more I liked it until it became my go to English. Time to buy a few this next order.
Tampers & Tools - Low Country Reamer
Love it. I use it all the time now.
I have a lot of different reamers and knives. The multi piece reamer with a T handle and this one handles just about every bowl out there. Tempted to get two just in case. Lol.
Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - Falcon Pipe Cleaners (Pack of 50)
A Must Have for vintage pipes
I have and sell a lot of vintage pipes and often the draft hole was drilled smaller then. These make life a lot easier on me. Wish they were a bit more price competitive with others though. Still, glad I found em.
Balkan Sasieni - Balkan Sasieni 50g
One of the best Balkans under the radar
It’s as good as so many others out there. Yet so many haven’t tried it. I smoke it right next to Squadron Leader, Sobranie, My Mix 965 etc. worth a try for sure.
Lighters - Kiribi Kabuto Short Black Nickel
Awesome Lighter. Want another.
I actually didn’t warm up to it for 6 months or so. It was too heavy to carry as I like to so still use a Bic out and about but this one has stayed outside for months with no wear noticeable. It lights beautifully and love the fin to flip it open. No more burnt thumbs. Can’t go wrong with one. It took a while to decide between this and an IM Corona. Very happy with this.
Peterson - Early Morning Pipe 50g
What a great Balkan blend. A must have in your cellar.
I picked some of these up when I first started smoking pipes. I’ve got 15 open jars of Balkan blends and Latakia forward English. This along with MyMixture965, Balkan Sobranie, Margate, Squadron Leader...it stands up to all of them. Best of all, I waited about 6-8 months and revisited it. It was twice as good it seemed. This time I am buying a lot. Some for now, many to age.

Samuel Gawith - Cabbie's Mixture 50g
It’s not St. James. It’s different. I love it. A daily smoker when I have it.
I am about to put a review on the YTPC. I don’t like to be verbose in my descriptors. It’s got heavy dark fruit, that hay or grassiness and citrus even. The typical components of a VaPer. It has a very light floral note and something that sets it apart from other VaPers. Even 45 minutes into it, I still notice the flavor. It never diminishes. One or two relights in an hour. The only downside is obtaining it. Def. a must try!
