Highland Blend by Mac Baren tobacco review

By eric | Published: June 14, 2011

Mac Baren added another great blend to their “HH” series of pipe tobaccos. Like the others this one is somewhat of a break from their usual Scandinavian style.

Three Friars by Cornell and Diehl

By eric | Published: June 9, 2011

I have found Cornell and Diehl Three Friars to be a superb anytime Virginia blend with a bright vivid flavor and enough Burley and Perique to add just the right amount of body and zing for a great warm weather smoke.

Pipe Tobacco Review – Low Country Cooper

By eric | Published: January 10, 2011

The tin description: “The confluence of the Cooper and Ashley Rivers create Charleston Harbor, the most important port in the antebellum South. Following trade winds, goods flowed to points north and, especially, across the Atlantic to the great British ports of call. Commemorating the Cooper River’s contribution to world trade, we have selected choice Orientals and Cyprian Latakia to accent a base of fine Bright Leaf and Red Virginias to create this exceptional medium English Flake.”

Burley Flake #4 by Cornell & Diehl Review

By eric | Published: October 1, 2010

Burley Flake #4 gets most of its character from Dark Burley which brings a very straightforward, arguably strong, and robust flavor. Following in the distance are the lighter burleys, a taste of Latakia, and a touch of Red Virginia.

This is by no means a sweet blend…oh no. Those of you used to Burley flakes such as Solani Aged Burley or even Peterson’s University Flake will find something altogether different in Burley Flake #4.

Larry’s Blend by Russ Ouellette’s Hearth and Home

By Ramon | Published: May 21, 2009

Blender’s description: “Larry Loerzel, one of our regular store customers, and connoisseur of English/Balkan blends had tried Ten to Midnight, and although he liked it, he was looking for something a little fuller and different. Based on his preference, we blended a full, traditional Balkan using Orientals that were more “buttery” and amped-up the Latakia. This blend is now a big hit among our full-bodied English fans; a cool-smoking, very rich mixture.”
