So in the last Tobacco File, I wrote that I would be changing the main column from biweekly to monthly, and would write short, bonus blogs highlighting a single blend—likely something new or special in some way—when opportunity presents. Well, here is the first such installment, as I’ve spent the la …

This is a Tobacco File I’ve been looking forward to—two new releases. First we have Whimsical, the second blend in the  Birds of a Feather series. Of course, this is the collaboration between Sutliff Tobacco and Mac Baren master blender Per Georg Jensen that gave us Uno with i …

Another excursion into two fine pipe tobaccos and one premium cigar. This column we have Samuel Gawith Fire Dance Flake and Hearth & Home Louisiana Red. Samuel Gawith Fire Dance FlakeDeveloped with one of the U.S.A.'s lady smokers, FireDance is Our Best Brown 6" Fla …

Another two weeks enjoying two great blends, G. L. Pease Westminster and Cornell & Diehl Pegasus. This is one of those rare Tobacco Files where I’m actually revisiting a blend and not having something for the first time. I got a tin of Pegasus some months back and smoked a bit …

We have another brand new blend in this Tobacco File, the latest in Sutliff's Barrel Aged Series—Crumble Kake No. 4. Instead of doing another recently release or themed pick, for our second tobacco blend, I thought I'd find something on which there was very little information out there. I opted …

For this Tobacco File, we have Seattle Pipe Clubs latest, Hogshead, and Janus from the Italian pipe masters at Savinelli. HogsheadOur hogshead is a blend of very old Virginias cultivated in Africa, Brazil, and the United States. Pressed into an easy to use plug, Hogshead har …

There's been a lot going on the last couple weeks that's allowed me the opportunity to try some exciting blends. I'm still very much enjoying the recently released Uno which I wrote about for the last Tobacco File, and I've recently gotten to dig into the newest Joe Lankford offering from& …

The blends for this column were a lot of fun—a novel newcomer and a sanctified classic. I've been smoking Sutliff Uno and Presbyterian. For a little context, Uno is the first of a six blend series, Birds of a Feather, that will be slowly rolled out over the next year. Blended by Per G …
