Wilke No. 193 by Pipeworks and Wilke

It is a light English blend of Virginias, Burleys, Latakia and Perique and is topped off with a bit of Wilke’s unique fermented black cavendish. Truly a social English.

Two new Hearth and Home blends from Russ Oullette

I was beginning to worry. Every time I’d visit pipesandcigars.com I’d check to see if Russ has turned out anything new. My wait is over. Two new blends – a lighter English reminiscent of Dunhill’s Early Morning Pipe and a burley cake that may bring back memories of the old Edgeworth slices.

I am often asked to suggest online retailers. I’ve dealt with quite a few and had a lot of good experiences. There are plenty of reliable business people out there keeping our hobby alive.
