Balkan Sasieni - Balkan Sasieni 50g
Better with each passing year
This was one of the first Balkan blends I ever tried and I love it from the start. Took it for granted for a long time. Now it is one of two staple Balkans in the rotation. Will always have some on hand.

Peterson - Flake 50g
Great Virginia flake
My favorite pure Virginia flake. I just love the presentation of this one. The aroma, the color, the thickness and texture of the flake are all so appetizing. Keep a few tins around trying to let them get old before I smoke em.

Oliva - Serie V Melanio No. 4
Favorite stick.
This blend this vitola is perfect for me. The wrapper leaf is gorgeous and almost pillowy. Perfect box press and consistent like no other stick I’ve come across. Could be pricier and would still be worth it.

Ashton - Cabinet Selection Tres Petite
Consistent Excellence
I love petit Coronas. This blend is great anytime of day with amazingly consistent flavor, aroma, and construction. A bit pricey but nub worthy.

G. L. Pease - Charing Cross 2oz
Balkan Excellence
Balkan blends have grown to really capture my taste when I want a Latakia blend. This one immediately became the best I’ve ever tasted. The cut, handling and lighting, taste, aroma are all 5 star. There is an incredible Interplay between the dominant orientals and the second in line Latakia. Both dancing over the toasty base of Virginia. This blend isnt balanced because instead of becoming muddled, each component has its time to shine in the symphony. Excellent tobacco.

Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - B. J. Long Pipe Cleaners - Bristle (40 pack)
Perfection
Works perfectly as advertised. Most useful pipe cleaner for all purpose pipe cleaning.

Lighters - IM Corona Pipe Lighter - Old Boy Pewter with Pipe Shapes
Wise investment
This lighter lights my pipes more consistently than any other I have ever owned. It lets me target the flame very specifically and into the bowl. It helps prevent rim charring. The fit and finish is high end and durable. I’ve got one and I’m saving for number two. If one goes down I don’t want to be without.

Captain Black - Original 1.5oz
Classic
Always delicious. Needs lots of dry time. Will still leave a goopy mess in the bottom of the bowl. Learn to love it.

Cult - Blood Red Moon 50g
Tootsie rolls and cherry cordials
Favorite aromatic from a guy who doesn’t smoke aromatics. Doesn’t leave a goopy mess in the bowl. Doesn’t taste like hot air. Actually has some body to it.

Three Nuns - Three Nuns 1.75oz
Delicious Dark Fired
I have tried to like straight Virginia or primarily Virginia blends for a long time. Never could. Then I met this blend. The dark fired adds the perfect match for the varied virginias. One of my main squeezes.

G. L. Pease - Maltese Falcon 2oz
Main Squeeze
Staple English blend. Never boring, not finicky in the bowl. Wonderful room note. Moderate strength. Definitely recommend.
