Nasal snuff (powdered tobacco taken through the nose) has been around for centuries. It was first observed by Ramon Pane (a monk) in present-day Haiti during the 1493-1496 voyage of Christopher Columbus. Natives of the Americas were surely using it long before Columbus arrived. ... Read More

Cob in a Cob!

Adam came rushing into my office again. "Cob in a cob!" he exclaimed dramatically. This time I knew exactly what he meant. Adam has been looking for an excuse for the two of us to smoke a couple of corn cob pipes that we've had sitting around the building for the last couple of weeks. ... Read More

Last week, Adam stole me from my office during the middle of the day. He had a wild look about him, most notably around the eyes, his lips were pursed and his breath was eager. In his left hand he grasped a pair of Stanwell pipes, one of which he nearly violently handed to me. ... Read More

Phew! After much ado, a lot of hullabaloo and a great dealing of whimpering, Dunhill tobaccos are finally on the US market once more. It was noon today when we were notified to expect a freight of the stuff at any minute. ... Read More

Penzance. It's fantastically popular, utterly delicious, and can be extraordinarily difficult to come by; but not impossible. The trick to scoring a tin or two (or an eight ounce bag) of this dark English flake will, more often than not, boil down to a matter of tenacity. This is a sad but true reality. ... Read More

I'm quite fond of Mac Baren's Navy Mixture. After smoking the junk my local tobacconist had to offer, most of which were blends of his own cracked invention, I decided to branch out and try something else. ... Read More

I'm an enormous fan of J. R. R. Tolkien. Of course, I dig that he was a pipe smoker and am particularly fond of the fact that he included in the world he called Middle Earth an entire roster of characters who too preferred fine leaf and pipe smoking. ... Read More

Admittedly, the first time I smoked Quiet Nights by G. L. Pease I was not very impressed. I can't say why, exactly, it just didn't do anything for me. It seemed bland, like it lacked dimension or character. ... Read More

It's not a secret around here that I'm a big fan of latakia leaf, especially during this time of year. I simply love English and Balkan blend tobaccos. Now, I understand that there are a lot of pipe smokers out there that hate the stuff; ... Read More

Mac Baren rope tobaccos-- Dark Twist, Roll Cake and many others-- are some of the best loved blends by the famous Danish manufacturer. One of my favorite processes in the Mac Baren factory is the process of making ropes, which are then cut into coins. ... Read More
