Wow, Maggie; that's quite a list and very broad in it's scope. From aros to latakia blends to strong flakes. You got it bad and that makes us happy. Go slow and enjoy the journey.

I would build my pouch collection if there was some Troost available...I swear I have seen Troost in some of the pipe and tobacco combos they have advertised in the past.

Hi guys , I used to swear by Troost & Clan, now it is Captain Black & Farmers Honeyblend herbal smoking mixture, with a few added slices of strong plug or rope. Jim praises Three Nuns in all its incarnations, I have tried the latest brew & it us good stuff if you can take a strong tobacco all day, but I can smoke Troost or Captain Black all day every day, but it is not good for your taste buds & health , so I fast & abstain for a while, & enjoy coming back to the fray...but Jim highly praises Strang, & Daniel praise HU Directors Cut, if I am correct & they are on my wish list too. But I an after some Peterson's 3P's plug next...see Ya.

Gordon Pym is also on my list..why it has taken so long for me to add that to my next purchase list I will never know. Bowzers castle looks like something I want to try as well. Bag end is another on my wish list!

so which Captain Black blends have you tried? you have mentioned Gold, but there is also Copper, Regular, Cherry, Dark, Royal, Light Blue, and there were three limited edition tins that are still available. There is also Grape but I don't have any interest in trying that.

I want to get some Condor and OJK. Must try. Hi Don, regular senior pipe smokers swear by OTC Condor here in the UK, a classic old blend, that as far as I know is as good as the original...bye. PS if you guys need some UK pipe tobaccos & play by my rules , I am not a business man, but I am willing to do favours for virtual " friends" in modest amounts of tobacco, at my pace , not instant karma! , PM me for details, bye for now, |

Hi lady M, I am slowly working my way through my first 12oz tin of Captain Black gold , not in a hurry, it is not available in the UK, I made my first order from the US for Captain Black gold & some excellent Warhorse green plug, a quality American style plug, a new artisan quality blend . But I hope to chance another order , this time for Cherry & Royal 12oz tins , then I will try White & Dark 12oz tins, but it all takes time , I will have plenty of time to smoke on the other side after all.,. ;-) bye. P'S I may try a pouch of grape seeing you mention it as well. PPS good reviewers say Captain Black is best in the 12 oz tins than in pouches but I have no experience of the difference. |

Hi John , I was disappointed to find pipesand cigar do not ship to the UK, unless I am mistaken, but some big US shops do shop to the UK, so far... P'S. Glynn Quelch suggests the UK will ban Internet sales soon, but we have only one big Pipe cigar spirit tobacconist in this city at least, maybe getting baccy in future will be like going to Mecca, expecting a bingo win... |

Hi, I know what you mean about limited funds, but with budgeting , buying cheap in bulk, it is 40 dollars for 12oz of Captain Black we pay at least £ 12 pounds sterling just for one ounce in the UK of all tobaccos in general, as valuable as Timothy hay for my Easter  bunnies, bye. P'S it used to be about one pound sterling for 1.50 dollars before Brexit. Now the exchange rate is worse for the pound. |

Is there any possibility that with the Brexit, you guys might have a more sympathetic ear in parliament as opposed to the Eu mandates?
I hope that is the case...

I hope that is the case...Hi , hopefully is wishful thinking I am afraid , major EU countries, have already banned Internet sales such as France I believe. & one country in the world has banned tobacco altogether, maybe they favour Pot dare I say ? But successful manufacturing countries like Germany & China are big smokers. But the World health Organisation & the NHS, favour the government ban of tobacco, & It is cheap to do , yet there is a demand all the time to legalise Pot, like some US drug cartel states, but the legal system can not control the drug cartels, from alien cultures of Afro Asia, I can slave all day at a job of work with a pipe in my mouth smoking, with pen work, pc work, machine work , farm work or building work or ship working until I drop on my favourite baccy, but I cannot even walk a straight line if I tried it with evil pot weed or booze by Christ, but it is a subversive trade & culture war , & the tide of time is against us, by Gad. But maybe a slim chance with traditional modernists like President Trump & yet I see no one of such big stature at the fore in the UK, a powerful man, directed by wise councillors may move things , but only if he keeps Obama care, some thoughts...bye. PS, subversive Trojan horses are at every level of society, only major upheaval will change things , I fear, better an unjust peace than a just war as Cicero was taught. PPS, Glynn Quelch is selling some fine pipes from his online shop at present for supporters, but tobacco is not on the shelves . Ppps. But so called legal bans of tobacco I suppose it would become like rum & brandy & contraband smuggling of old, how about a a tobacco farm in your attic under solar electric powered bio cultures, use the devils own weapons it is a crazy world , It is total mandarin drugged up bureaucrat lunacy... |

When looking at archived pictures of the tobacco processing facilities of the UK, Ireland, and Denmark in days of yore, it really makes my head swim.

There are a few blends in the MacBaren 7 Seas line that may interest you, too. Not that I am trying to enable you , you know! |

Hi, the new factories were progressive in their day but fell into bad cruel out of date practise, great mines look cool, but would you put kids down there to die, Margaret Thatcher freed mine slaves, against there own follyl bad days. Progressive mills built by the likes of great modernists like Robert Owen , becoming ricket ridden , tuberculosis death traps , God help us, |

bunnies, bye.
