The cozy, comforting presence of our trusted pipes warms our hearts in the cold of winter days and even crisper nights. Whether it's snowing where you live or mild and cool, we have some blends we'd recommend smoking in the winter months.
Comfort by Cornell & Diehl
In the crisp winter days and frosty nights, this soothing mixture of Perique and Bright Virginias with a touch of cube-cut Burley and Black Cavendish provides a smooth and slow-burning smoke. Experience solace with Comfort from the Serenity series.
Available in: 2oz
"I found this from the tobacco search on the site. It's a nice ribbon-cut blend that's easy to pack. It burns slow and cool. What I really like about it is it has nuance to it, but it's also a good blend to just sit back and puff on while you're reading or watching videos etc." - 5-star review from lordofthepiperings at Smokingpipes

"This is a really great blend that smokes well right out of the tin. It's got great notes of Irish Cream and Vanilla. It's an easy smoke with no tongue bite. I'd smoke this all day if I could." - 5-star review from Pete-Geek83 at Smokingpipes

Chelsea Morning by G.L. Pease
This lively blend is here to help wake you up on those colder mornings with your favorite cup of coffee through an elegant, creamy mixture of sweet Red and Bright Virginias, Orientals, Cyprian Latakia, and a dash of Perique.
"Clouds of rich, creamy, sweet, and nutty, incense-y goodness! It's a morning blend so it's medium on the nic, but I love this stuff and smoke it with some grinded-up coffee beans on a cool morning for the best effect and flavor. Not my everyday morning smoke, but it's close, and I love it, 5 out of 5 in my book! If you love English tobacco, I'll be dang surprised if you don't like or love it! If you don't like it, better for me - more tins to smoke..." - Evan L., 5-star review at Smokingpipes

"I don't always feel like the name captures the essence of the tobacco, but Dark Moor couldn't be a more accurate description! It's a deep dark blend that's smoky, musty, rich, earthy, sweet, and mysterious! I'm absolutely loving this blend! It's so unique, delicious, and relaxing and such a wonderful escape! Every HU tobacco I have tried now has exceeded my expectations, and they have instantly become some of my favorites! If you haven't tried some of these HU blends, you are missing out!

English Chocolate by Two Friends
In the cold winter months, who doesn't enjoy indulging in sweet treats? English Chocolate from Two Friends is a luxurious blend providing subtle notes of creamy cocoa. Step aside, cup of cocoa; a packed pipe with this decadent mixture is taking your place.
"Burns clean, cool, dry, and slightly slow with a very consistent, mildly sweet, and lightly savory flavor. The Virginias are smooth as silk, the Latakia becomes a true condiment, and the chocolate is very sweetly subtle. This is a great tasting smoke. I have no problem giving this a full recommendation." - Ivan R., 5-star review at Smokingpipes
