I really enjoyed Ye Olde Signe, but only had the opportunity to have one tin before it was discontinued. The internet says McConnell's Shakespeare is a match blend so I bought a couple of tins almost a year ago and I'm waiting just a little while longer before trying it. Thanks for the review and look back at this one!
Hiyas Jonathon, I've got a couple of clay pipes that I should smoke more often. I really do appreciate and enjoy their cool, dry smoking attributes. I have discovered that I like the tavern style best since it's longer and more comfortable to hold. It's fun and interesting to smoke those old, sadly discontinued blends, if they're tasty it's also bittersweet. Serene smokes Gary
The clay is nice and so dry, didn't need a single pipe cleaner ever after back to back bowls. I'm trying to get thru many of my older and gifted tins, this one was Christmas exchange from my old pipe club. The longer pipes are a bit more cumbersome for me, between 5-6" is perfect. Take care my friend.
That tin aroma you described plus the flavor profile sounds like a blend I could enjoy. I’ve never smoked a clay pipe but I imagined the heat wouldn’t have much to get absorbed into. Probably a nice feature if it’s cold outside. Thanks for the review. Cheers!
Just get a tin of Elizabethian and pull out all the Perique. Although, I think that blend has a bit more bright VA in it as well. I've been chasing the Darker VA's lately, nothing has beat Wessex Campaign for me yet though. Hope the highways are treating you well.
Thanks for sharing buddy. I have a couple of Dunhill tins, some in jar, some not yet opened. The bowl of the clay pipe gets hot generally or it is tolerable? I haven’t tried a clay pipe before, have been directed more in meerschaums. Greetings ❤
Only the bowl on the clay pipe gets hot, you just need to hold it by the stem. The mouth piece will taste a little like clay but otherwise it's enjoyable once in a while.
