“This blend includes Virginia, Burley, original Cavendish, dark fired Kentucky, Oriental and of course a fair amount of Perique. The HH Acadian Perique has no top flavor at all which means that you will only enjoy the tobacco taste. When smoked you will experience no tongue bite and this blend will smoke to the bottom,…
“This blend is composed of golden Virginia tobaccos with a touch of Perique. A fine natural sweetness in both taste and aroma characterize Orlik Golden Sliced. This is a traditional Navy Cut Flake i.e. pressed tobacco and cut into slices. Rub the tobacco slices gently before filling your pipe.” – Orlik Tobacco Company Orlik has…
As of late, I have been working on an article for Tobacco Pipes based on the inspiration, high quality, and relished smokability of the Mac Baren HH line of tobaccos.

HH Bold Kentucky contains a high amount of the finest Dark Fired Kentucky from the USA and Africa and is combined with bright Virginias to soften the taste just a bit. Still the…
As of late, I have noticed a recurring theme among pipe smokers: Many begin pipe smoking with Aromatics and later begin smoking English blends. There comes a point with some pipe smokers when Aromatic tobacco is simply not as satisfying as an English blend. There seems to be an evolution of the palate making English blends preferable…
Besides smoking pipes, another one of my beloved hobbies is smoking meat. I don’t think there is anything more relaxing than sitting on my patio, smoking a large spice rubbed brisket in the smoker, and having a few bowls of my favorite blend. What I always look for in a tobacco blend is what feeling…
It seems that every time I am speaking to another pipe smoker I get asked the same question, “do you smoke English or Aromatic blends?” It seems that now you can only enjoy smoking one or the other!
