Thread: Pipe of the Day

Capstan!!! really good stuff, but hard stuff to get in the states it's yummy for sure if you can get your hands on it.

Most English blends have more heavy smoke and the strength varies between mild and strong. They are maybe my favorites, but because of the taste they are not for everyone. Also the room note with these is something my wife sometimes calls a dead rat.
If you want something strong in nicotine maybe try Irish Flakes (Peterson), Bracken Flace (SG) or Warrior Plug (Murrays).

My everyday smokes are Capstan blue, Erinmore Flakes and Balkan Flakes. First two are rather neutral (not too aromatized) in taste but with enough nicotine. Balkan Flakes are English Blend with Latakia and medium strenght. You either would like these or not. It's each on his own.

Vauen and Stanwell with Skiff
This is a very nice combination

Here's a link to smokingpipes.com. I think it's what you're looking for but they are currently out of stock on the 1792. There are a number of other S.G. choices on the site. I get some tobacco from them and the occassional Estate or new pipe (they've got a great selection). Run by pipe smokers I've had good experiences buying from them so far. You can message them about when they'll get more in stock, right from the link.

Good luck and Enjoy!

Disburden,

I have this much SG Cob Plug:" Tin Description: This is the plug version of Cob Flake (1792). So description will be the same, except that this will: 1) allow you better control over the thickness of the flake and eventually how it smokes, and (2) the taste is a bit rounder, though not necessarily stronger (could it anyway be stronger?!)"

It's not much but some... If your interested, send me a PM...

The offer from nosewarmer will be the quickest and what I would do. Then if you are really in need, get on some mailing lists from some online places and wait. I was on about 6 mailing lists for SG full flake Virginia and finally they sent some to the states and I was able to get a couple of tins. Most big online retailers like smokingpipes and such will notify you when a product comes in. But with the SG stuff it takes some time. PM nosewarmer and get that plug

Stanwell-pipe

I got this cob years ago from Missouri Mershaum. I've bitten through I don't know how many stems on it. But they are easy to replace. I don't know how this one has lasted as long as it has since it's my pocket pipe. My work keeps me outdoors much of the day and I find this shape and wieght a perfect balance for my mouth when I need to use both hands.
