Pipe tobaco

John Rolfe peach brandy tobacco was what my dad smoked his whole life. It might not be made anymore I know its hard to get.

 

Vintage, no. But Bennington Tobaccoanist in Boca Raton, FL can blend almost anything. Give Jim Bennington a call. https://bocabenningtons.com/benningtonstory.php

 

Or call Iwan Ries & Co. in Chicago or Nat Sherman in NYC. Both excellent, old school tobacconists.

Alternatively, try a pipe forum called "Brothers of the Briar". There you'll surely find plenty of good suggestions.

I'm a pipe smoker, but not into seeking out the vintage blends. I generally buy tinned tobaccos from Dunhill, Peterson or DAN Tobacco. Also buy some bulk stuff from my local stockist.

Oh, G.L. Pease makes some fine shag too!

Cheers,

If you like aromatic tobacco, this little store has been known for over 75 years for selling "The Wilshire Blend." I am a cigar man, but I am a huge fan of this blend. Give it a shot.

 

that place is right around the corner from my house, I'll have to check it out sometime.

 

Make sure you check out the Warehouse of the Seven Sins.....

 

huh?

 

Behind the Tinder Box

 

I have a friend from Dubai. He's often carrying a 'one hit pipe' and a glass vile of a fine, almost powdery tobacco. I always assumed it's snuff. It smells sooooo sweet when hie smokes it. I know for a fact it's not a drug he's smoking. I always meant to ask him what it was.

Any thoughts?

 

Not the "hash" from marijuana, but the ha-shiesh that you would smoke in a hookah.??? Or you could just ask him? Pass some of it this way!

 

I think you're thinking of shisha (sp?) for the hookah. Shisha is thick cut tobacco and gooey with molasses. Definateky not it

He has since moved back to Dubai. I'll figure it out one of these days
