Pipe smoking

Some "Boswell's Best" in an MM "country gent." corn cob, an aromatic (sweet), nice rainy Sunday afternoon here in N. GA. It's been about a month since my last pipe, nice stuff.:thumbsup:

While you're all waiting with anticipation.... :laughing: I got a shipment from "Boswell" yesterday...schweeet.

A few years ago I ordered Lanes "very cherry" and another (A1 or 1A or something like that). No excise tax if I bought in 2 lb quantities (I guess they figured it was for resale). When it arrived, I was shocked about the volume of 2 lbs of pipe tobacco (bigger than a basketball)! Get the Food Saver out and start making bags! It stays as fresh as the day I got it. I also have a few clamp lock jars with a neoprene gasket on them and the tobacco is still moist 2 years later.

Yeah, "aromatics" normally are pretty "damp", that's the "norm". 2 lbs. of tobacco would be a "big" amount, as big as a "basketball" wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility, depending on the moisture content/age/compression, etc.

I am just lighting a bit of "Paradise" up in a cob pipe. It really is some good stuff.

Boswell Pipes & Tobacco - Paradise pipe tobacco reviews

Welcome to Boswells

Very nice people to deal with, also. :thumbsup:

My favourite blend is/was Erinmore Mixture... Then the (bloody) left-wing government decided to do some social engineering and changed all tobacco product packaging to an olive green. The Mixture came in a round yellow tin and so Errinmore decided to just drop exporting that brand to Australia. (Grrrrrrr!)

I'm switching between Borkum Riff regular & cherry at the moment. I think I've settled on the cherry. (Smoked in a Falcon pipe)

I've never tried that, but I've heard of it, Wagtail. :thumbsup:

Is the Falcon, the "metal" pipe?
