So due to ongoing cost and the fact I dont smoke all too often, with a cigar its was 6-7 times a year with a pipe maybe once a fortnight depending. Anyway ill be going to my pipe more now, so for the 10 plus years ive been mostly smoking Aros- but have been after something with a little more flavor, and Orlik was widely recommended. So Tin note very citrus fruit, bready sort of like a fruit loaf /hot cross bun. Nice so once it gets going and damn that smoke is pleasantly flavourful, very citrus raisin flavor, grassy freshness toasted bread and then eventually just a cinnamony peppery hit from ..read more

I've just purchased my first pipe. Some accessories and some tobacco. I've been smoking cigars for almost 20 years now and feel it's time in my life for the pipe. I love cigars but can't justify the current cost. I'm partial to my alone time in my man cave and the thought of pipe smoking has been in the back of my mind for quite some time. Bored at work today and clicking through the internet, I've landed on a site and filled my basket and hit buy now. I've chosen a Peterson Killarney 05 unfiltered Briar pipe.

'm not sure if it's a regular thing or maybe something to do with certain sellers, but it seems that a few different tobaccos that I enjoy are not restocking that fast. In fact, they don't seem to be restocking at all? Is this a new restocking issue or is it old hat? The one's I have in mind, and I didn't seem to think they would be so rare are the Solani line - Silver Flake & Virginia with Perique ..read more
