Mac Baren - 7 Seas Regular 3.5oz
Nothing “regular “ about it
I started smoking a pipe over 50 years ago, and one of the first blends I really enjoyed was Mac Baren’s Scottish Blend. For whatever reason, it doesn’t appeal to me as much anymore, but this 7 Seas blend is a more than worthy replacement. I have perhaps 25 tobacco‘s ageing downstairs; I enjoy looking for that perfect tobacco. This one’s coming pretty close. I find the flavour profile balanced and smooth, an entirely pleasant smoke.

Cult - Blood Red Moon 50g
Smooth and delicious
Not sure I'd go as far as Briar, but this is one terrific tobacco. After reading some reviews I thought it would taste like cherry cough syrup, but instead it is a lovely, enjoyable smoke with no burn and no nicotine dizziness. Ordering more. Cherry notes are certainly there, but they are far from overwhelming.

Aleister Crowley: The Beast That Inspired The Beast
  • ► Marketing advisability aside , this is an utterly fascinating and engaging biography You rarely find this quality of research and writing in leading journals. To find it on a tobacco and pipe marketing site is truly remarkable. Congratulations to the author on an exceptionally well-written piece .
The Tale of the Mighty Cesurians
  • ► This is one of my very favourite websites. Far more than an online tobacco and pipe emporium, it combines history, folklore, and insight into all things related to tobacco culture with wit, thoughtfulness and superb writing. And of course, it also offers the most extensive selection of tobaccos and pipes in the world. Thanks for this piece and your ongoing efforts to make SP entertaining as well as informative.
