WHITE SPOT
About Me:
I’ve been a pipe smoker since 1992. I collect whatever pipe suits my fancy for the time being, and the same with tobaccos.

Reviews


Low Country - Crescent Rising 2oz
Gone like a fart in the wind…
This was akin to a Friday afternoon media news dump. Drop it real quick, tell us “limited edition”, put a 20 tin limit on folks, then don’t make enough so you sell out immediately. Well done marketing team! As for the tobacco, who knows? I guess we’ll have to wait for the lucky ones who happened to check their email last night to tell us.

The Danish Pipe Shop - Brown Sugar Flake 50g
Interesting
I find it interesting that many of the negative reviews have been removed regarding the availability of this product, yet the numerous Chinese 5 star reviews that instantly appeared yesterday have been left up considering they haven’t even received the order.

Presbyterian - Ordained 50g
It’s OK
I’m a Va Flake guy, so I was excited about this one. The tin note is that hay & citrus that you know and love. The flakes are typical of K&K flake tobaccos. Very nice, easy to rub out. Perfect moisture, easy light. Smoking the blend is where it is a bit of a let down for me. It just lacks depth and is really too mild for my tastes. I got a fever, and the only prescription is more flavor! That’s what I need from this flake, everything else is great.

Cornell & Diehl - Folklore 16oz
No availability
I’m sick and tired of the release of these small batch blends and they’re never available because they’re always released at midnight and it’s the next morning before I check my email. Come up with a better way to release these. This does nothing but frustrate the majority of your customer base. Ridiculous!
