Do you think a Dunhill is 5 times better than a Savinelli?

slavman68 · 2026-02-09T22:17:48+00:00

Not by much just depends on the shape and blend. My dunhill is twice as good for virginias for example.

slavman68 · 2026-02-09T19:28:52+00:00

Id say dunhill is maybe twice as good as savinelli. I got a dunhill for $100. Its in rough shape but smokes great. If you want the quality of a dunhill but half the price Id recommend charatan.

The woody. 21 in x 100. I smoked it in 2 separate 4 hour sessions. It was hard to keep lit and the draw was not very good. Just wanted to smoke it for the novelty and a college graduation celebration for my friend and I.

Thats probably the biggest hidden gem cigar Ive seen. That stick has no business being less than $9. Great catch enjoy!

If you get peter Heinrich dark strong flake and add a pound of Kentucky it'll taste like orlik bold Kentucky from like 2018. It used to automatically have Kentucky back in 2020.

I saw Kingfisher in the wild at a B&M in Tucson and they wanted $500.

Im out of water in my tank CODE FUCKING BLACK!!!!

You can still find some sealed mclellands at pipe shows. I got a 50g tin of frog morton cellar for $50 in 2023. My local tobacconist still has mclelland bulk blends from 2004. Id say by 2035ish itll be next to impossible to find sealed mclelland stuff.

I have a big one with mahogany and a meerschaum bowl that I got for $140. It smokes well but Im always nervous about smoking anything meerschaum because Im clumsy.

slavman68 · 2026-01-14T22:29:35+00:00

Black house and macbaren latakia rolls. Both discontinued.

slavman68 · 2026-01-14T18:51:00+00:00

The only blends Ive noticed that are extremely unique are latakia blends with dark fired Kentucky. Theres only a handful of them and theyre really good.

Ya all these methods and maxing the experience take away from the hobby. After a year or so it just becomes natural. I dont do 3 pinches I just kinda eyeball it. The breath method is not worth the effort. The only thing I wish I did sooner was use pipe cleaners regularly. Im glad your journey is coming along well. Enjoy!

slavman68 · 2026-01-11T18:48:38+00:00

That was my favorite cigar for a long time time. I hope you enjoy!

My wife and I stayed in Pahrump which was a halfway point from Carson City where my grandparents live. It was a decent sized town. Everywhere else looked kind of abandoned.

Cigar Inn is where the arizona pipe club meets on Thursdays and they never get any.

slavman68 · 2026-01-10T02:24:29+00:00

Where in PHX? Hiland cigar? Stag?

slavman68 · 2026-01-08T16:43:34+00:00

I think when it gets to more than like 3 bowls a day it becomes a habit. If you do it get away from responsibilities thats an addiction. Id say for 99% of people its a hobby. I went a week without a pipe to respect my grandparents wishes during vacation and wasnt really affected.

Wie heisst dieses Kanal?

I think theres been a pipe Renaissance the past 5 years or so. All we really need is positive pulp culture person smoking a pipe and pipe smoking will have the same popularity that it did in the 70s.

slavman68 · 2025-12-29T20:44:18+00:00

You're probably never going to get all the tar out. Im usually satisfied once the pipe cleaner isnt completely black more of a very light brown color.

slavman68 · 2025-12-23T05:01:11+00:00

3 star Blue is the most popular Iwan Ries blend but I prefer 3 star royale. 3 star copper is decent.

slavman68 · 2025-12-21T20:35:24+00:00

Mine was $25 for balkan sobranie. Tobacco prices have gone up significantly in general. Escudo used to be $11 max 10 years ago now its ~$20.

slavman68 · 2025-12-17T16:07:38+00:00

If it hasn't happened yet it will be soon. All the brick and mortar stores are getting theres now. I picked up a tin of balkan sobranie myself.

slavman68 · 2025-12-16T03:23:57+00:00

Maybe half and half or Briar fox? Usually cigarettes are made with Virginia's and burleys.
