Dorado Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Been looking for a good pipe tobacco. I have one I like but at $30 a can if I can find it is a bit ridiculous. Was wondering what y'all would suggest for an over the counter source. I only really smoke my pipe while fishing or camping. Usually with chilled Bulliet Bourbon in the other hand.

If you can make it to Colorado, I'm sure they have many different brands.... Texas Lizard

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Back some 50 years ago when I was still smoking my pipe usually had Borkum Riff tobacco from Denmark. It was mild, not too expensive, and smelled good.

Pay Dirt Norvelle #90056 Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 I order my pipe tobacco from a shop in Gettysburg (Boswells). check them out as they have all types of tobacco. My favorite are two English blends; Northwoods and Railroad Station.

Dorado Posted June 22, 2018 Author Posted June 22, 2018 I tried some cheap whiskey cavendish. Couldn't enjoy it. No taste, no aroma, nothing. I'll look for that Borkum Riff.

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 Ahh yes Sail pipe tobacco And Middleton Cherry Blend She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed loved the smell, but I decided to quit 43 years ago when she got pregnant and I've stayed clean since then, in spite of the temptation.
Duffield, SASS #23454 Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 I quit when I turned 60, but back in the day I preferred Flying Dutchman. I haven't seen it in years. Captain Black Royal was my next favorite, followed by Borkum Riff. Sometimes I would like to light up a pipe again, but I never could smoke intermittently and don't want to smoke full time again.

Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 My pipe days was with McBarron's Burley. An English product. Church Key

Duffield I smoke only occasionally. Maybe once a month if that. Usually only when fishing or camping. I do like a cigar every now and then while at a shoot.
