Former Tobacconist @ the Briar Patch in Sacramento, CA - lover of all fine pipes, tobacco blends, cigars, accessories, and general Tobacciana. Latakia is my go-to ingredient when hunting for new blends, but a solid Virginia/Perique is a very close second. I enjoy Aromatic blends on occasion, but tend to shy away from overly cased or artificial tasting mixtures. Give me a nice, smoky Latakia & Arcadian Perique blend any day!
Also, I'm not a fan of short reviews ;)
My pipe collection is from a wide variety of brands & carvers from all over the world; I procure new & estate pipes alike. I try to smoke each blend through my Castellos & Dunhills before reviewing them here for some level of consistency, but I commonly smoke my pipes through random rotations. My collection includes pipes from: IMP & AKB Meerschaum (including a Gourd Calabash), BriarWorks, Caminetto (new), Castello, Cavicchi, Chacom, Chris Morgan (Bones), Comoy's (Blue Riband), Dunhill, Emperor (c. 1945), Foundation by Musico & Becker, Gabriele, GBD (c. 1960s - 70s), Jacono, L'anatra, Ligne Bretagne, Luciano, Moonshine, Radice (Briar & Morta), Regina Scarlatta (Briar & Morta), Savinelli (including an Autograph), Talbert, Tinsky, Tsuge, Vauen, Viprati, Vuillard, Wiley, and Winslow.
