What's in your pipe? (Part 1)

Thanks for all the useful information Slide. Would you say that pipe smoking lingers less than cigar? I mean if I was smoking on a walk, as my lady cannot stand the smell of cigars, and I must say I do not care for the lingering odor in sweaters and such. Also, is their a reason outside of Anglophile tendencies that make Italian piles less valuable? Thanks again and all the best!

There are some very high end Italian pipes as well. Every country has some that could pay for a decent used car lol

Any smoke can linger on you even when smoking on the move. But most find pipe tobacco smells pleasing. But the lingering smell is probably the reason fancy people had smoking jackets.

Samuel Gawith Cabbies mixture. Nice cool long relaxing smoke, the kind of tobacco that makes you stand still and enjoy the bowl right down to the bottom. Some reviews say it’s hard to pack and stay lit but a little air time before you light up has that one sorted. Plenty of Nick but not over powering. I think if I ever win the lottery I will buy one Tim of every single Samuel Gawith tobacco and work my way through every single one.

I see that most SG tobaccos are out of stock via US online retailers. Would one assume the ones that are not have been sitting around a long time?

@snuffandsympathy SG tobacco disappears quickly when it comes in stock. Especially the Full Virginia Flake

@slide ah ok, the review by @paulgnhad me looking for the Cabbies but with no luck…

@snuffandsympathy

That is one I have never had, but it sound like it would be in my  wheelhouse!

I am a VaPer guy. Through in some dark fired Kentucky and I am good to go!

@slide down the rabbit hole I go…

that’s one of my favortie places to go

I opened a mason jar of Homborger Veermaster that I canned in June of '13.

The minute I opened it I was greeted with a strong plummy scent.  Virginia’s are wonderful after five or ten years of aging.

My Mixture 965, my first pipe tobacco. Love the whatever little smoky flavour I can detect. Am told thats the Latakia I’m tasting. Do we have snuffs like that? Like a typical English blend or the so-called Lat Bomb?

Yes, SWS Latakia Blend contains Latakia tobacco.

Mind you, this snuff comes non-alkalized. Description is misleading, though - the actual potency is low.

@bolbam420 i also like Latakia blends in the pipe. Early morning pipe for example. Sir Walter Scott’s Latakia blend is a really nice toasted Virginia with some Latakia. The scent comes close to a slow smoked pipe tobacco for me. Just delicious.
