Yes you read that right, CHEESE & BACON! We had to try some of this, its a unique snuff. This medium dry snuff has lovely gold brown colour. A little powdery but not a toast fine though, thank god. The aroma starts off with bacon crisp smell which fades to long lasting grilled cheese aroma. [...]

A review of the Astor Filter, made by Reemtsma (Germany) Nicotine – 0.8mg Tar – 10mg CO2 – 10mg Smooth and sweet cigarette, subtle spices (cinnamon/licorice) hints on finish. Maple & Honey sweet.

Just passing the message around so no one ends up buying a stem that wont fit. Peterson have changed the stem sizes and (slightly) the bowl shapes of the “Standard System Range. We only found out a week ago, i was told me when i ordered that the sizes had changed and the new stems [...]

Another mixed bag…. ****First impressions of Cornell & Diehl – Billy Bud Now i got the impression from taste and smell that this has a sweet casing. From reading (i always blind taste) i doesnt have any. I wasnt aware it contained maduro(cigar) leaf, i suspect the sweetness was from this. Still a great tobacco, [...]

Last night was not only the November pipe club but also the release of Call of Duty – Modern Warfare 3. Thanks to all that came along last night, a fun night had by all again. The tobaccos went down well. I forgot to mention the Reiner – Brown Cavendish with Rum & Vanilla, PufferloBill [...]

When i woke the next morning, it was cold. I looked outside and it glistened with the morning frost. Today was the day we travelled a few hundred miles through Switzerland and off to the Jura mountains. The drive from the alps down to the flats near Lake Geneva was beautiful. The roads snaked through the blasted mountains, past waterfalls, sheer cliffs [...]

Peterson have now released their 2011 Christmas Blend along with 13, yes 13 Christmas pipes. A sensory, marvellous smell of cinnamon and candied fruits reminds of a cold winter’s day at the warm open fire. The tin is simply magnificent just like this exquisite contents:  Golden and orange Virginias, Burley and black Cavendish make up this [...]

This is a video i have put together from the hours worth i shot. Most of it has been removed beacuse i am guessing you dont all want to see 15 mins of a pipe being shaped. Gauntleys will soon be stocking a number of Pierres pipes, if you would like to be the first [...]

We spent a cold night in Le Boit at Johns ski cabin, the views again where amazing. Tree lined mountains all golden browns, red, oranges, purples and yellows. By night the milky way shone in all its glory, through some binoculars we could even see Jupiter and 3 moons(or distant stars in alignment). After a beer and some food at the local bar/restaurant we called it a night.

A blend of 80% black cavendish(vanilla cased) & 20% gold Virginia (menthol). Smoked in another dunhill reject. Smooth and soothing, not enough vanilla really. This was just a test, dont really why know why i filmed this……..
