So I see you have a very nice knife to slice the tobacco rope into coins to rub out to your liking. Since you are a cigar aficionado you probably have a cigar cutter or two lying around that would make easy work of clipping coins from that rope as well. Just a little tip that might make the process go easier.
Enjoy.Don't drink and shave!

Bayou Morning in a Castello Colection Greatline. I too, have been curious about the ropes. Might just add one to my next order.

It seems all the ropes I wanted to try were out of stock. So I got 3 2oz samples anyway. I was disappointed with the Brown Irish X I tried the other day. It was just a neutral experience.
Little if any tastes, no buzz, no nothing.
So I finished the bowl anyway and then had two bowls of Seattle Pipe Club's Potlatch which I really enjoyed. It had a lot of flavors going on and was about a medium in the strength department.
I am hoping the next two rope samples will be a different story.
apipeguy you are welcome to pm me your mailing address and I will get all 3 of the samplers off to you (gratis) when I try the last two. Perhaps as an experienced smoker you will discover things about the ropes that elude me. : ) Anyway here is the line up with one out.

Many folks claim that many ropes / twists lack complexity. I havent had very many but the SG Brown no. 4 is rather one dimensional but I enjoy it for what it is a good quality natural style tobacco. Burns cool not harsh at all and has a good deal of strength. Its kind of tobacco I picture Native Americans stuffing their peace pipes with. Its old timey good stuff imo.

Thanked: 32I had a bowl of Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake today and I'm started to wonder if its all that it was hyped up to be. Anyone have any suggestions to bring out the best from this blend?
The tin has about 5 years of age, I've tried folded flake and rubbed out flake in narrow chamber pipes that I reserve for sipping VA flakes. Had no burn problems, no bite, I was just underwhelmed with the taste. Very mild flavor, but I feel like I'm missing something. I much prefer Best Brown or any McClelland VA I've tried.

If I see another Castello I may have to refinance my house and get a dozen of em. Sweet looking pipes. My PAD is getting worse than my Rad.
