Very educational, especially for a newbie!!
Thanks so much for the video Kevin!!
Cheers! 🥃🥃🇨🇦
That’s great to hear! I was hoping new pipe smokers would still find this topic interesting
Boswell that’s the tobacco ❤
Having returned to my pipe after a many decades absence, at the age of 70, I find myself more interested in variety than cellaring. Hope that doesn't seem pessimistic. So I'd probably go with C&D and their 220+ selection. I could literally spend the rest of my life hopping from 2oz tin to 2oz tin!
That’s a fantastic choice, Mark! So much variety
Ditto on the cellaring. I am 76 now and there is no time for cellaring. I am enjoying TODAY. 💨💨
I am not as mature, but 49 y/o and started my journey with pipe smoking 8 months ago. I have time to cellar, but find that I want to find a blend to smoke everyday. But I found that my life changed 6 months ago with a physical injury that has made me rethink life. I just put away a jar of Irish Whiskey as I have attempted to smoke it 5 times and did not enjoy. So I put it in to long term storage. I will open another Tin of something else that I have. I believe that you have the right idea with your continued journey. Enjoy today, as tomorrow is not guaranteed. I learn from the geriatric community, as that is who I helped prior to injury as a physical therapist. Thank you! As my dad is 85.
Amazing pipe brother of the briar. What a beauty! Definitely must check out that video. Great, well-thought-out one brand forever pick.
Cool, let me know what you think of that pipe story when you have time to watch it! :)
Difficult choice but I’ll go with C&D.
Great variety!
I totally agree with Mac Baren.. good choice.
Good stuff :)
I havent had more than maybee 20 blends. But the dunhill/peterson aka STG stuff always seems to work for me. I could smoke Esoterica "and so to bed" forever tho. Impossible to get tho. I was given a small bag of it and it for sure was incredible.
It’s great!:
ruclips.net/video/lQioOhGTZnA/видео.htmlsi=EpGxb5tmmRlI3Rj6
What a magnificent opening . Black Gold would be my chose . From Hyland Cigars in Arizona . It is branded as BG
Thank you Gordon! I really enjoyed sharing my thoughts on this with you today
I thoroughly enjoyed this, a good looking pipe, some looking good brats. But I didn't see potatoes in the ashes and coals, baking. You brought to memory an event of us camping at Lake Guntersville, in Alabama. I was twelve and Betty Sue brought a sack of potatoes and taught me how to fix baked potatoes at camp. It was a happy time, and you're doing great with you videos. I really enjoy them. I seldom remark, but I'll sure click like.
What a great memory! We used to fix fresh trout in foil on the campfire coals, I think I tell that story in my Boswell Countryside review, great times :)
This is a thought provoking question, and one I feel you answered with great consideration to all your personal likes and experience. With the end of McClelland, I think Mac Baren is a fine choice, and your reasoning is sound based on what I know of you through your videos.
For me, the choice would have to be Cornell & Diehl, both for personal reasons and for reasons reached much as you reached yours. In the early years of C&D, I was the manager of a small B&M tobacco shop in a college town. We dealt with Craig Tarler both for his blends and for blending tobaccos for our house offerings. It was always a joy to get to speak with him or Patty on the phone when they could, and the fact I was a fan of their blends that early on lends their brand a personal attachment for me.
As someone earlier in this thread also stated, with the massive line of blends C&D now has, I would never run out of choices of quality leaf to smoke. Alongside that, there are the side brands that C&D works with, including GL Pease, Warped, and Captain Earle's.
There's no wrong answer for anybody because we all favor what we favor, but like you and everyone else I'm extremely happy I don't have to make this choice!!
Yes, so happy we don’t have to choose! C&D would provide a huge catalog of variety and special releases for sure!
I'm with you on choosing MacBarren. My local "Brick & Mortar " carries exclusively MacBarren the HH series 3 Nuns , Capstan everything MacBarren is represented there. I don't think I personally would ever get bored with the wide selection.
And MB obviously has access to noticeably high quality leaf, at least for now
I love Mac Baren Aromatics. They smell great, have complexity and not overly sweet.
So true !
For the past couple years it's all John Cottons Kentucky all day. That's what I'm smoking today and always. 😊 I'd pick John Cotton so I could have my Kentucky, it's a part of my routine.
Sounds like a great choice for you then! Thankfully we don’t have to choose just one! :)
Mac Baren makes another heavy hitter which was not mentioned and I personally love, St.Bruno. Got to say that Mac Baren was the first brand I thought too. That being said I'm glad we don't have to settle with just one. Take care my friend.
Me too! And YES, I should have mentioned St. Bruno!
Right off the bat Brats. I'll be down there as soon as possible. Beautiful Cardinal. Smoking Peretti BPC in my Armellini Bent Brandy. Very interesting question. I was leaning towards Cornell and Diehl because I enjoy their Elegant Series, Sunbear, Carolina Red Flake, Exhausted Rooster, G.L.Pease lines, Edisto. Peterson would also be a good choice. But I have to agree MacBaren, simply because of the HH Blends. It looks like my brat turned out perfect. Give me a few hours.
Tasty! And yes, that would be an excellent choice Frank! Lots of great blends there
Great minds think alike. I would also choose Mac Barens.
The best choice! Haha :) I’m glad we don’t really have to choose!
I’m enjoying my 1st outdoor evening smoke of the year here In Saskatchewan. The temp is hovering around the freezing point and the snow is falling gently around me and my covered patio. I am smoking Old Dominion from Watch City Cigars in my Peterson Rusticated Squire. I think if I had to round it down to one blend…it would have to be Escudo.
That would be an excellent choice, Dave!
All my favourite tobacco‘s are predominantly Peterson blends. The problem with this is that Pearson is no longer available in Canada. Mac baren seems to be fairly available. Given your knowledge of the Mac baren blends, which of their blends would be a quintessential English? Stated another way, which McBarron blend if any, would appeal to the Peterson, my mixture, 965 lover.?
Probably the closest to 965 (but different) that Mac Baren currently produces would be The Solent Mixture (English Mixture). Give that one a try! :)
Haven't been smoking pipes long enough to give a good answer, but probably Mac Baren. I love HH Bold Kentucky but I'm looking forward to expanding my palate. I've got so many tobaccos here in the cellar to try. Some of those I'm really looking forward to trying are: Three Nuns, ODF, Artisan's Blend, Old Toby, Vanilla Roll Cake and many more. I ordered Oxford Street from Robert McConnell's last night and I'm looking forward to trying that, too. There were no reviews I could find on Oxford Street, have you ever had it? Good question and good to see you, Kevin!
I have not, I’ll have to look it up!
You use a Zippo backwards from how I do.
I smoke in my pickup and can't avail myself of a tamper other than my forefinger.
It’s the pipe insert for a zippo. You should try one!
At the moment I’m smoking low country hazelnut burly. It’s actually a good burly considering how cheap price it is. Nutty for sure and the topping is not to much you can actually taste the white burly very well
I know several that enjoy the Low Country blends!
@@hobbitonpiper yeah I just got 4 oz of this first time trying it and I’m pleasantly surprised how good the burly is and for a white burly it has some body to it. It’s not a boring to mellow white burly.
Is that Cthulhu on that mat?
It’s a leather pipe mat made by Kraken Leather
The moment you asked this, I immediately thought of Mac Baren. Not my favorite brand, but has the most blends that I enjoy smoking. Great minds.
Edit: for me it was the HH line. I love me some Samuel Gawith, but hard to find tins. Mac Baren’s flakes are imo just as tasty but doesn’t have that Gawith-ness I like from Squadron Leader or Navy Flake for example. But MB is vastly more accessible. And to me maybe just as good.
This was fun to think about!
I'm smoking Peterson's nightcap out of my new Peterson deluxe system 2s dark smooth. I ordered a bunch of tobacco's, mostly aromatics. But so far the best I've tried was this morning and that was Peterson's early morning pipe. My god that stuff was good. I want to buy it in bulk, was wondering if the sutliff match for Peterson's EMP and nightcap are good. Maybe you could do a review on the sutliff match tobaccos. Edited: I guess it is actually a match for dunhill, not Peterson but would still like to know if it's any good
I’d stick with the real blends. Even at today’s prices it’s a relatively cheap way to enjoy tobacco in comparison to cigars or many other pleasures in life :)
@@hobbitonpiper idk if u remember me but I commented on one of your other videos that I had been smoking cigarettes for 24 years, I haven't had a single cigarette in 4 days, I've given away the last of my cigarettes. I'm really loving pipe smoking!! And I really enjoy your channel. I got molto dolce, and several other aromatics but to be honest after trying several of The aromatics that I bought I found myself missing my captain black gold!!! Then I tried nutty Irishman and Peterson's early morning pipe and those two are just amazing. Way better than the other caked on topping aromatics. Nutty Irishman I can buy in bulk, that is a really good one from Cornell and diehl if you haven't tried it
@@shawnlaverty2378 so happy that you are off the cigs! Leave inhaling behind and enjoy the pleasures and relaxation of true tobacco tasting :)
My one brand would have to be Kohlhase and Kopp. Solani 633 is my all time favorite and Silver flake would also be a change of pace. I have narrowed my range since I developed an intolerance of Burley, with it causing chemical tongue bite and that made things hard for me, but I learned to enjoy Red Virginia and Perique so there it is. Rattrays and Robert McConnell are also made by them so I have a few more to try.
That’s a great choice, John
John I was very happy to see someone mention K&K because this company came up in the discussion Kevin and I had prior to the video posting. Glad to see your discerning tastes and, if I do say so myself, admirable choice so well justified. I think the the Vauen offerings sweeten the choice even more.
@@russhicksart Thanks Russ. I am going to try Robert McConnell Scottish Flake this week and next will be Old Gowrie. Not sure if we can easily get Vauen blends in the UK, but I will look out for them. I am cursed with Burley Bite but I seem fine with Dark Fired Kentucky, go figure ?
@@johnbragg You and I share this unfortunate burley aversion. I've been plagued with it for over 30 years so it's not going away though I've tried repeatedly to acclimate the pH of my palate to tolerate burley without success. Burley becomes more and more alkaline as one progresses down the bowl so for me sometimes the top of the bowl is tolerable but I pay the price later. I've had Old Gowrie off and on since the late 80's and it's an excellent blend though I'm not sure how the current offering stands up to the older versions. Regardless, I don't think the Kentucky in it will bother you much. Also I typically order my Vauen 14 straight from Germany as it can be difficult to find in stock here in the States.
@@russhicksart It is indeed a curse. There are many blends that I find delicious that reward me with nothing less than a chemical burn. You are right that time is no help. Body chemistry is as individual as it gets and it is our lot to be denied some blends. Learn to love the ones that don't attack you like pepper spray.
One Brand? It would be Peterson, because of the ex Dunhill stuff.
That’s a great choice for sure!
That's a hard choice to make, but if I'm forced to choose... G.L. Pease all the way! I'm not a fan of aros, and his Englishes are excellent.
And yes, I am smoking some Gaslight in a meer right now. :)
That’s a great choice! Excellent blends
HU
HU makes some great blends! You might enjoy listening to my thoughts on HU here!:
ruclips.net/video/DO-F0B6hpPA/видео.html
If I could only smoke one brand? At this point, I’d pick Boswell. I’m really into aromatics at the moment, but they also have some good English and Va/Per
Limited choices but a fine blending house indeed!
I've got to go with C and D as they are from my "neck of the woods" and have a lot to offer. What am I smoking? I just finished up a bowl of Maltese Falcon, one of my favorites 👍. Have a great evening.... 🥂
Maltese falcon is good! C&D would give you tremendous variety and fun limited offerings as well!
Peterson, no question. They have an excellent version of just about every tobacco type out there and they are always rock solid.
Great choice!
Mac Baren, because it is made in Denmark, and i am from Denmark 😂 No, because the HH Line is fantastic. Pure virginia, latakia, bold Kentucky and Old Dark fired. They are all Great.
Sounds like we are on the same page here! :)
Ooooo...Mac Baren Choices to pick one from would be: Gawith, GL Pease, Mac Baren HH, Hearth & Home, or HU/Dan Tobacco (I live in the Netherlands so these are more accessible to me). BTW I can't get any Esoterica blends here either. I can't do without Peterson (Dunhill) Nightcap or Stokkebye Proper English. Drucquer makes some lovely blends but not the depth the others have. Your Mac Baren choice is right up there!!! Well done
I do love the MB blends :)
Gawith Skiff Mixture in a Chacom Champs Elysées 43
Nice!
Kevin we cannot thank you enough for this great content that keeps us coming back for more. It’s like visiting with an old friend at this point here:) So lucky to have found this channel, you and all the great people here. After a long busy week it’s time to settle in with some a local tobacconists blend (testing out of if I like Latakia which I’m finding I do this time of year -September in the Appalachian mountains.-) in my corn cob. Love the zippo btw. I recently found mine in the drive way:/ I guess it fell out of my pocket. I’ve been wanting to get a pipe insert for it.
Very cool, I’m so glad you are both enjoying your time here with me!! :)
My one blend forever would be Chelsea Morning. It’s an English blend by GL Pease. Great retrohale!
That’s a great blend!
No question MB makes some fantastic blends, but you cheated a bit🤣 Janez said you could only consider blends marketed under the blender’s brand. So, for example, you wouldn’t be able to include GL Pease for C&D. Cheater, cheater🤣🤣
Well dang, I must have missed that for the GAW requirements. A great question to discuss either way :)
It'd have to be Gawith Hoggarth for me. If I can be cheeky maybe I can combine Samuel Gawith and Gawith Hoggarth since they're in business together? The two of them in particular would leave me wanting for nothing in tobacco selection.
Cheeky is allowed! :) Good choice!
This might sound dumb, but I would have to revert to a codger blend like Prince Albert. The variety isn’t there, but I would know every smoke would be a satisfying one. No matter the mood, I’ve never been disappointed by a codger blend. Their consistency is their strength.
A fine choice! Consistently satisfying smokes :)
Smoking Ashton Artisan’s Blend out of an estate Chacom Cordoba that I just deep cleaned with salt and rye whiskey. First time trying that method, and I would say it was a great success. Do you do that sort of cleaning? Not sure if I’ve seen anything about it on your channel.
I haven’t made a true deep cleaning video yet, but this stuff sure works well for daily cleanings:
ruclips.net/video/IS0y2g_ZOss/видео.html
Stokkebye would be a good choice because they have so many good blends at great prices.
Good choice!
watching this after the acquisition of Mac Baron by STG, would that change your answer?
@@TheMountainPiper depends on if they change the blends or not, and if the leaf quality decreases over time
Hmm, This question got me thinking....,
Not that I disagree with you choosing Mac Baren, but that would mean having to miss out on all of my favorites from the Scandinavian Tobacco Group (also from Denmark).
I came to the conclusion that I would choose the STG over Mac Baren because it would give me the most and best of what I really like.
Dunhill/Peterson, Erinmore, Boswell, Peter Heinrichs, Peter Stokkabye, W.O. Larsen, Borkum Riff, and many, many more that I haven' t even tried yet.
And here comes the kicker.... all produced in the Orlik factory.
Can you imagine having to do without Orlik golden Sliced for the rest of your life?
Luckily we don't have to make such a decision, and we can enjoy whatever we feel like having at that moment.
Plus some of the Mac Baren line tend to give me tougue bite (luckily not the HH line).
Just my 2 cents. Thanks for your amazing content,
Cheers from Amsterdam!
No, I can’t imagine life without OGS…or Capstan Blue, or several others. I’m so glad we really don’t have to choose! :)
😅Man, I’ve had to endure 5 adds in order to make it through your video… is that done with your consent?
Mac Baren is a good choice, wide range of quality tobaccos indeed!
✌️
Mac Baren never lets me down! I consent to ads but I’m surprised they were even allowed at all on this video the way they are so strict on my tobacco content. Many of my videos they ban from ads, which is so silly and unfair in my opinion. There’s no reason tobacco content creators like us should be so restricted while everyone else gets to profit from their work. RUclips is unpredictable and does what it wants in this regard unfortunately tho
One brand only would be for me in the UK ..Peterson ex Dunhill I believe..But it would be very hard to go without St Bruno .
It gets a person thinking, doesn’t it!
To be completely pedantic would the likes of Mac Baren, CND, STG etc be a brand or a manufacturer? Since they technically produce the mixtures for multiple brands. Mac Baren is both a Manufacturer and Brand, 3 Nuns is arguably a separate brand. Like CND produces the mixture for G.L.Pease.
You’re exactly right of course, Mac Baren is most certainly both a brand and also a manufacturer…my umbrella of blends may have grown too large for this exercise! :) I’m glad we don’t actually have to choose!
I’m starting out. I’m smoking some North Pole in a cob pipe. I’m liking the North Pole. It’s staying with me , I’m a good way long after I smoke it
Great, enjoy the journey! :)
Hello Kevin i am jose luis from argentina great video and very interesting, nice the big bird and super relax video in this moment i smoke Hightgate of Robert Macconnell its a vaper with a little heart of cavendish in a Stanwell pipe.The brand that i love are from Samuel Gawith and Gawith and Hoggart .HH of Mac Baren are difficult to find. Thank you for this relaxing video and goods smokes.🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦
Thank you for being here, Jose!
Kevin. What are your thoughts on Bobs Chocolate Flake by GH? I just opened my first tin. So far intrigued but working on judging after more than a few bowls.
Here are my full thoughts, Scott:
ruclips.net/video/BRndvnCMk4I/видео.html
My one brand would be LJ Peretti out of Boston. I’m partial to burley, and they just do burley right, but they have a wide variety that includes virginias, English and balkans.
I’ve reviewed LJP Thanksgiving Day, and I have some LJP Boston Slices I need to try soon!
Interested to see if you have or have tried a reverse calabash pipe and your thoughts? I am thinking of buying a Chacom reverse calabash.
I have not! They look super fun tho
You probably already covered this, but if you only had one brand of pipe to smoke from what would you choose?
For affordability probably Savinelli
Nice pipe today I'm smoking my my mixture 965 if I only had one choice of tobacco it would have to be Peterson
A great choice, Kevin!
I am currently smoking GL Peace Quiet Nights out of a Savenelli 320 Ks
Ah, a wonderful smoke!
I’ll have to look them up and try some of their tobaccos.
@@PonderosaPiper see my Pipe Blend Reviews playlist for several great examples (Mac Baren offerings and the Capstan blends)!
I haven’t found my forever blend or brand yet, but if you’re putting that much meat on the grill I expect an invitation.
There was plenty to share for sure! :)
Would you miss blends from the Country Squire?
Of course! And countless others :)
Only one brand? Oh man. Seattle pipe club for that plum pudding burbon aged. Or maybe c&d for the variety. Thats a hard choice.
Thankfully we don’t really have to choose!
Great Vid, I'd choose Lane.
I'm wondering, on another topic, where did you get your theme song for your channel?
I wrote it and recorded it myself!
@@hobbitonpiper I was thinking that was the case. Very nice!
Mine would have to be country squire, my favorite being Old Toby.
Great shop! They make some wonderful blends:

ruclips.net/video/bFVSxvE4-4g/видео.htmlsi=0dIb9MQqlVrJM_M1
Boswell or Sutliff, just my 2 cents
Good choices! I’m glad we don’t really have to choose! :)
Tegent street... 🤔 I love Forte too but is too strong for all the live... 😅
Regent street
Enjoy! :)
I'm a couple of months late to this party, but I'd probably pick C&D myself because of their variety, affordability, and because I can get many of my favorites in bulk (Haunted Bookshop, Pegasus, Epiphany, Morley's Best, Star of the East, and Crooner to name a few). And if we follow the logic of brands they make, then I could also get GL Pease and Kramer's, which would give me other favorites like Stratford, Chelsea Morning, Father Dempsey, and Blend for Cary Grant. But Mac Barren would be a good second choice for the reasons you gave! Smoking some Nougat in my Peterson Aran X105 billiard tonight.
Hi Josh! C&D would give you a lot of variety for sure. You’re never late to any of my videos (except for giveaways I suppose), they are here for you whenever you choose to watch them! :)
I second this. Tobacco is hard to come by in Canada with high taxes and prohibitive sales laws between Provinces. What I choose to buy is C&D because they never let me down. I haven't even had the opportunity to try GL Pease yet since I am so new to pipe smoking. 🤤
Hey this is off topic but do you recall the brand of that tobacco tray/mat with the skull and tentacle beard logo? I think they make hats and shirts I have been wanting. Thanks
Kraken Pipe Leather!
@@hobbitonpiper thank you very much it is a sharp design.
No question. Prince Albert.
I love Prince Albert!:

I'm smoking a 1960's Falcon with G & H Brown Irish Twist. I just got the tobacco yesterday and this is only my second bowl of it. The first bowl kicked my butt !! This is a very strong blend that needs to be respected. I'm half way thru the second bowl and I'm already feeling like someone beat me up ! Now, I have a very strong palette that can take high levels of nicotine, but to me this one is in a league of its own. Don't get me wrong ..... it tastes delicious and I want to continue smoking it, but I will have to put my seatbelt on and notify my next of kin before I light it up. Mac Baren is a good choice and a lot of what you say rings true. I picked C & D for some of the same reasons you pick Mac Baren.
Some blends you definitely have to respect! C&D is a great choice, Brian
Oh wow i didnt know capstan was made by mac barren
Yes!
C&D would be my choice.
Endless variety with C&D!
I'd go with Samuel Gawith which would give me my go to Squadron leader and other really good blends. Enjoy your pipes my friend.
That would be a great choice! Full Virginia Flake and Best Brown Flake too
This is a tremendously hard question. I don't like it because it makes me want to drop another grand on my cellaring. I am getting worried about things going away... I am new to most of this but now that I found it I don't want to loose any of it...
I know…so much to consider. Make wise decisions tho, and never spend at the expense of more important financial responsibilities, that would be my advice :)
@Hobbiton Piper I can afford to do it pretty easily as a bachelor. The one question is would that money be better spent making more money? Possibly. I live pretty simply though so I can afford myself some excentricities. That being said 1K in another stock can become a lot more for later so it is a bit of a toss up. I don't have a crystal ball... i just know not to panic either way.
@@bjdenil yeah don’t panic for sure, remember this is for fun and relaxation. I’ll help with information and advice however I can

Sounds like a fine smoke, enjoy! :)
Just curious have you tried Stonehaven?
Best Nick
Yes! A very rare Esoterica blend
@@hobbitonpiper what were your thoughts?
@@NickKlonizos-dq7ks it’s great. Heavily topped and processed but it works remarkably well, I love the super thin flakes
Easy. L.J. Peretti. They have something for any occasion or yearning.
I’m beginning to sense a theme here: you like LJP! :)
@@hobbitonpiper Been smoking a pipe for over 40 years, just this year gave them a chance and I am sold on them. Those old fashioned burleys are wonderful. Wish I had discovered them sooner. Thanks for responding, keep up the good work.
@@ronh.798 I think the only LJP I currently own is Thanksgiving Day and Boston Slices
I would go with C&D. They always try different things, and they have so many varieties. Saint Espresso and Star of the East are some of my favorites.
Many have made this choice! Cool :)
Totally agree. In my childhood I could taste the wonderful smell of MacBaren tobaccos in my parent's tobacco shop. In the sixties and seventies MacBaren has been the No.1 among pipe tobaccos in Germany. When I grew up I worked in the store as well, smoking pipe with the customers. Wonderful times. There is one tobacco which never will disappear from my list. It's MacBaren Mixture Scottish Blend. High quality leaf and a very complex taste.
Yes, now that’s an extremely complex blend!
@@hobbitonpiper so it is. Thank you so much for your entertaining videos. I appreciate very much.
Kevin I’m enjoying some Boswell’s Northwoods with you. This is a great question. I’m a fairly new smoker and haven’t tried more than a dozen tobacco’s. But my choice would be Boswell. It’s very good and readily accessible to me. Now narrowing down to a particular blend would be a challenge. I go back and forth between Countryside and Northwoods…and Boswell’s aromatics are good too…
Boswells makes wonderful blends. You could have infinite happy smokes from them! :)
@Robert Leupold. I’m back making another effort at pipe smoking. As a newbie what would be your top three choices of a Boswell tobacco to try? I was thinking Pipers Pleasure, Countryside & Northwoods? What’s your thoughts to include an aromatic or two.
Gawith Hoggarth
Great choice, Mike!

You’re speaking my language! Great choice :)

Gl pease
Great choice! :)
presbyterian
Great choice! :)
Keep up your good work! Enjoyed your video as expected! Thanks you very much! 🙏🏻 Always subscribed 🌷
Thank you so much!
My one brand is definitely Mac Barren
We are on the same page! :)
@@hobbitonpiper haha! I answed before I watched. Still in the process of watching as i type
Mac Baren
We are thinking the same it seems :)
That’s a tough choice... but I would have to say C&D, Bayou Morning & Briar Fox to be specific. Peterson is a very close 2nd for me (Elizabethan, University Flake, & Irish Flake)
- Peace, Love, & Pipes
✌🏼❤️Joshua
I would have to say C and D. Love the selection of aromatics lately hooked on apricots and cream very beautiful. I use the C & D chopped cigar leaf to blend with other CND offerings as well. That pipe you’re smoking is stunning.
Thanks Adam! It’s an eye-catcher for sure. :) C&D gives you so many blends to choose from!
Tonight I'm smoking my favorite English blend, Kramer's Father Dempsey, in a Savinelli Arcobelano 606 KS. To answer the main question though, as a relatively new pipe smoker who's only been smoking for a year, I think I'd have to go with Cornell & Diehl. I already know I could smoke Briar Fox and Autumn Evening every day, and often do, and I really enjoy C&D's uniquely robust and natural blending style. They also make over two hundred different blends so it would take a very, very long time for me to run out of new blends to try with Cornell & Diehl. I'd sure miss my aforementioned Father Dempsey as well as Peterson Elizabethan Mixture, Escudo, and those occasional bowls of Blood Red Moon, but I feel like Cornell & Diehl would probably provide me with the most satisfaction and variety if I could only smoke one brand.
Lots of variety with C&D for sure!
But those were all different brands, he said to pick a brand. You made it too easy😂😂 just giving you a hard time Kevin! Much love my friend. Enjoy the brats😊👍🏻 happy smokes
Ethan made me aware that my umbrella was too big as well, haha, dang it! I thought if Mac Baren made it then I was good to smoke it in this scenario. Oh well, a good discussion nonetheless, and congrats to Janez! :)
Captain Black Royal would be it. I enjoy cavendish, I only smoke aromatic by choice. So CB Royal would be mine.
Many love CB Royal!
If we’re talking about the actual blending house that manufactures the blends, I would go with C&D because it gives me my 2 favorite C&D blends, which are Haunted Bookshop and Star of the East along with a massive library of other C&D blends that quite frankly, I haven’t gotten around to yet.But, it would also give me all of the GL Pease blends, and there are a lot of those that I really enjoy! Sextant, Navigator, Quiet Nights, Gaslight, Sixpence, Chelsea Morning, Penny Farthing, (basically the entire Old London Series) and a number of the original, Fog City, and Heirloom series also. Needless to say, I’m a big fan of Pease blends!
Tons of variety with C&D!
A thought proviking question from Janez.
And well thought, fascinating answer from you, Kevin. Thank you.
Also, those bratwurst look lovely!
I’m glad we don’t really have to choose! :)
That’s a tough choice... but I would have to say C&D, Bayou Morning & Briar Fox to be specific. Peterson is a very close 2nd for me (Elizabethan, University Flake, & Irish Flake)

C&D gives you so much variety! Great choice
If I could go by blending house, it's K&K, if I have to narrow it down, it's Robert McConnell. Scottish Flake and Oriental could keep me satisfied, plus the other blends.
Great choices! I should smoke more Robert McConnell blends this year
That's easy C&D
Great choice, tons of variety!
@@hobbitonpiper if only they'd start making Briar Fox in bulk I'd be one happy man
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. I'm English, so their baccy is readily got for me over here. (I'll include Samuel Gawith also, cos now they're one company again)
Cheers, pal.
Great choice!!
Quiet Nights in my claw and egg meer for tonight. If I only had one brand it would be GL Pease...sooooooo technically Cornell and Diehl. Which works since I smoke mostly those. Which in a way stinks a bit since my favorite Virginia is Capstan, but since I mostly smoke English and Balkan blends I would have to say C&D/Pease. I kinda cheated there, but that's the way it is. 😆
Sounds completely logical to me! Great choice, can’t go wrong there :)
Really like that pipe!

I’d have to go with MacBaren as well. Solely because of Three Nuns. And while I would miss my favorite Latakia blends, I can see myself being happy with HH Latakia Flake.
A good choice! :)
Having just started on this endeavor a couple of months ago at 67 I will only scratch the surface and never get to try all the brands & blends out there.
Guess I would stay with Sutliff as they have so many match blends of the original codgers. Even a Carter Hall & Prince Albert match which are two of my favorites along with B& G Cavendish. . Having some Sutliff match Flying Dutchman today. Keeping it simple, my life strategy!
There is comfort in simplicity isn’t there!
Hey Kevin, I’m in Mississippi right now enjoying some Scottish Blend from the Briary in Birmingham. Good stuff! Tough question but I’d go with C&D
Lots of great variety with C&D!
That's like asking me what variety of wine I would choose if I could only choose one. When I got thru crying, I'd pick Riesling; but I'd really miss Pinot Noir! 😊
Thankfully we don’t really have to choose!
I am torn between Mac B and SG!!!! You make some good points. Tell you what, you get Mac B and I’ll get Gawith and we can trade every so often!!👊👊👊
Now THAT sounds great! :)
