Burley Bias

Burley Bias

I've never liked Burley-based blends. All the mixtures I've tried seem to fall flat, never delivering on those "nutty chocolate" flavors that so many reviews lauded. To me, Burley tobaccos offered only what I could describe as a burning flavor; I could taste something burning, but that's all I could perceive, the lack of discernible flavor ... Read More

One Saturday a couple of years ago, my girlfriend Brandee and I headed down to Conway to visit the Riverwalk, a quaint little spot on the Waccamaw perfect for a spur of the moment lunch date. As we were driving down Hwy 701 with the windows down, enjoying a pipe and a brief reprieve from the tangible humidity, we passed fields of ... Read More

Welcome back to another episode of The Mystery Tobacco Review, America's greatest yet most underrated pastime. A few weeks ago, Jeremy Reeves (head blender of Cornell & Diehl) stopped by the office for what we all thought was a friendly "hello."

Anyone who has been a part of our hobby for just a short while has discovered a blend that quickly became a permanent part of their rotation, an ambrosial tobacco they couldn't imagine doing without. For a great many of us that fateful day came in 2017, when Dunhill announced that they were ceasing pipe tobacco production. ... Read More

When time meets Virginia tobaccos, the results are smooth, deep, and delicious flavors, and few things are more enjoyable than opening a decade-old tin and experiencing the olfactory goodness it produces. Notes of figs and molasses greet the nostrils, prompting the mouth to water as the chamber is filled with delicately ... Read More

A Rekindled Love of Burley

A Rekindled Love of Burley

The first tobacco I ever smoked was a Burley blend, and for the first six months of my pipesmoking life it was the only tobacco I smoked. I knew virtually nothing about pipesmoking, I just woke up one morning a week or two before my 23rd birthday and decided that I wanted to smoke a pipe. ... Read More

Sun Bears are omnivores, the smallest species of bear, and voracious consumers of honey, though they don't display a lot of fastidiousness and seem to enjoy eating beehives and bees almost as much as honey. They do not hibernate, possibly because they enjoy a constant sugar rush, and they hang out in southeast Asia ... Read More
