Missouri Meerschaum - Legend Rob Roy Bent (6mm)
Ideal Beginner Pipe!
My pipe journey began with this exact pipe, back when they were still sold off the rack in Walgreens so many years ago... These are still the best starter pipe for anyone looking to give pipe smoking a try. The price is perfect, it smokes great, doesn't ghost, and it still remains in your collection for sampling different tobaccos. You just can't go wrong with this! Once you determine that pipe smoking is for you, then I would suggest getting a "Straight" Country Gentleman next before moving to a briar pipe. Having both a straight and bent pipe helps you understand the differences each offers, and it is important to make the best informed decision before spending $$$ on a good briar pipe.

Toscano - Maestro Puccini 2oz
Outstanding!
Just tried this blend on Aug 3rd, and I finally understand the perfect "10" rating from Beans316 on YouTube! Opened the tin and was immediately hit in the face with smoked brisket. This is rich, meaty, sweet, savory, peppery, and strong. Enjoyed it in an Italian "baby" briar. Man this is good! Thank you Brian for this recommendation!

Cornell & Diehl - Sun Bear Bourbon Cask 2oz
Best One Yet!
I've enjoyed the last several releases, yet this is my favorite Sun Bear! A bit more complex than the previous offerings, and the sweetness is perfect.

Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Bob's Chocolate Flake 50g
Worth the wait!
This is just amazing and well worth waiting for! Yep, sold out quickly...

Cornell & Diehl - We Three Kings 2oz
Tis the season...
It's fun getting to experience blends intended to brighten the holiday spirit. Looking forward to this latest offering. Maybe it is because of the name, but I decided to get 3 tins... I believe this shall be my first blend containing Katerini, and it having notes of cookies can't possibly be skipped! Update: Just enjoyed this in a "Mini" cob. It reminds me of a warm snickerdoodle cookie. It's the perfect snack! 😁
