Hello from Toronto

[Matty Ice]

Hey, came across this site and thought it would be awesome to meet some fellow tobacco conisours (hope I spelt that right) anyway I have been smoking whole leaf for about a year now (cigarettes) and I’m absolutely hooked. It is amazing trying the different blends and tubes to have the taste created just for you. I’m glad there’s a forum because it is getting harder and harder to speak with people who are passionate about tobacco.

One question about the store. I currently buy from somebody else and am looking to find some new suppliers, I see there is a deal to buy 2lbs get one free is that only for existing customers or can anyone sign up and get it?

Look forward to going through the forums and speaking with everyone!

Welcome to the forum, Matt. Since you are a member, you can get in on the Thanksgiving sale at WLT. I think you'll be surprised at the difference (in a good way).

That sounds great, does it work for the blends or just whole leaf? I still have a lot of bright leaf and burley. I was thinking of picking up the American old style, Balkan, euro, Turkish number 7 as well as the whole leaf Virginia and perique.

I'm pretty sure it works for everything except wholesale and out of stock items. What part of Canada are you in? It's a big place.

Be careful around here, I came around this site as a cigarette smoker and now I got a corn cob pipe hanging out of my mouth, cigars in the humidor and cigarette tobacco for a year ahead. Welcome.

Mayswell start looking.

I can see that, already got a nice Brigham pipe. I was getting into but now a little too cold to stay outside for a long time.

Probably such a noob but favourite pipe tobacco so far is Dunhill early morning. I picked up some Erinmore the other day really excited to try that.

While considering an order from WLT, consider the Smyrna Bright blend:

In strength and general aroma, it's very close to Early Morning Pipe, only better (really). I mix up small batches using those numbers (e.g. 4, 2, 5, 4, 1 for Smyrna Bright) as tablespoons of each. That makes up about 1-1/2 ounces of blend. Which Oriental is a minor consideration, and often depends on which one is available at WLT.

Pipe blends that are free of commercial casings are a true revelation.

EDIT: Once you've purchased the ingredients for any of the blends in that matrix, you have the ability to create any of the other blends shown.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll have to give that a try. I haven’t tried using while leaf in the pipe figured I would have need different tobacco or at least combining it a different way as opposed to shredding.

Looks like I got everything accept the Latakia and dark air. Got to build the collection back up.

Today I ordered Virginia red, double bright leaf, and perique. I also got 4 of the blends (Turk no 7, old American, Euro, Balkan and I got some yellow Virginia, Bulgarian and Izmir oriental kicking around.

Any suggestions ?

Any suggestions ?

Enjoy!

[For pipe blending, just shred the leaf, make the blend in a plastic bag, and shake it for a minute. Couldn't be simpler.]

It will probably take a while to get the order. I am a pure virginia guy. Once every 3 months may have a American style smoke and once or twice a year a cigar. Never go any of the double bright leaf just the red 2 flue cured and the rest lemon.
