What's in your pipe? (Part 1)

Solani Aged Burley Flake. Good fresh or aged - just got into a new tin as my 10+ year old tin is now gone.

Mac Baren HH Burley Flake. Very good, but pales in comparison to the Solani.

Pfeifen Huber Balkan Mixture. It is a Balkan Sobranie Clone and really really tasty stuff. @pantsBoots the Solani Burley is so damn good

@Hloridison It is. That and Amphora Burley are my go-tos for Burley. I can appreciate other Burleys and really need to try some of G&H Burley blends next time they’re available.

Found some Mammoth Cave twist chewing tobacco in a small country shop, cut a few coins off of it, dried it and smoked it in a small cob. Very good Burley flavors, though nothing as refined as Solani and other “pipe-only” burleys. Still, pretty darned good for a local agricultural product and a little different than any pipe tobacco I’ve tried.

Pease Quiet Nights. Bloody good stand-in for Esoterica Penzance. I might prefer this a little more, actually.

@pantsBoots you are from USA right? There are so many blends I want to try but I can’t get them in Germany. Now I have some ratrays hal‘o the wynd in the pipe.

@Hloridison I am in the US. We’re going to be moving in the next month or so, but after, maybe we can figure out a trade. I know there are numerous tobaccos we can get here that don’t make it overseas, such as GL Pease. And I believe Eurofolk are the only ones lucky enough to get HU and some of the Samuel Gawith plugs

Breaking in a new cob with Sutliff Match Ready Rubbed. Fantastic tobacco in a cob - nearly dead in a briar. Very mild, which makes it a great accompaniment to whiskey. Accompanied with nosefulls of Bernard Gekachelter Virginie, this is nice.

4 year old Dunhill Flake in my Savinelli Dolomiti 311 (no filter) rusticated Love the pipe shape but sadly the stem shreds pipe cleaners :frowning:

Rattray’s Stirling Flake. Took a while to grow on me, but after forgetting the tin for about 6 months, it has emerged as an amazing blend I will begin cellaring.

Mac Baren Old Dark Fired and then later in the evening Bold Kentucky. Both excellent blends for chilly weather.
