Tobacco Preview - Peter Stokkebye's Balkan Supreme

I am excited to smoke this particular blend. The aroma from the box was very intriguing and I am sure the orientals won't disappoint. The infamous Tom, NWPipeSmoker, claims this to be a wonderful everyday smoke and the best value in Quality Pipe Tobacco. Pipe and Cigars sells it for $3.87 and oz.

Tobacco Preview - Frog Morton on the Bayou


A distinctive pipe tobacco from McClelland Tobacco Company, of Kansas City, a purveyor of fine specialty or “boutique” tobaccos.

Frog Morton on the Bayou – “Smoot and dark and calming, like the waters of the bayou, a relaxing Balkan blend”

Country of Origin: US
Curing Group: Fire Cured
Contents:
Latakia
Perique
Oriental
Turkish
Cut: Ribbon
Packaging: 50g Tin, 100g Tin


A favorite amongst the pipe community, including the infamous Black Ops Tobacco Society, this is sure to be an amazing smoke. The aroma from the tin reeks of Latakia, but in a good way.

Wife's opinion on the room: Not bad at all. In fact she said it smelled like a tobacco barn.

Straus Private Stock English Tobacco Review - BOTS Style

To often we see tobacco reviews that are true and thought out. Pipe smokers that have no way of saying something is bad, like a Lawyer defending his client. Let's face it, not all tobacco is great or memorable.

Private stock is one of those tobaccos. It is a smooth creamy English blend with quite a bit of kick and a little spiciness, but it just is not memorable. I can't keep from comparing it to Boswell's Northwoods, and at the end of  the day, I would never buy Private stock over NOWO.

Winston tastes mighty good, Like a cigarette should.

If only smoking was still this socially acceptable. I got a good kick out of this commercial, even though we all know Granny would ever trade her corncob for a Winston.
