Private Blends
The Country Squire (www.thecountrysquireonline.com)
I live outside of Jackson, MS and when I first started pipe smoking I went to different shops hoping to find folks that steer me in the right direction, but tended to find that all of the shops specialized in cigars and sold some pipes and tobacco. Therefore the people working there were cigar smokers rather than pipe smokers. Them I found The Country Squire. J.D. was and is a huge help in advising me and answering questions about pipes, pipe lighters and tobacco.
Cherokee & Black Arrow Mix
Of the different private blends that I've tried from them the one that became my favorite was 1/2 Cherokee and 1/2 Black Arrow. Cherokee is a steamed Cavendish and Virginias with a very slight hint if vanilla and Black Arrow is a steamed, toasted Cavendish. I would compare it to Captain Black White. I would describe it as a mild, yet flavorful aromatic; easy on the tongue with an extremely nice room note. It is my every day smoke.
Tobacco Corner
In my travels I am often in Memphis, Tn and when I'm there I try to work it out during lunch to go and smoke a bowl or two. Great folks and you can always find someone to share a conversation and sit and smoke.
Nuts To You
This one is definitely not an everyday smoke but if you've ever tried 1888's Mid Day and enjoyed that deep fruity flavor and aroma, you have an idea of what it is like. They refer to it as a Pistachio Blend; I find it as a wonderful diversion from my regulars; Cherokee/Black Arrow, Peterson's University Flake, Sherlock Holmes and Irish Oak.
Whatever you smoke I'd love to hear abound your favorite private blends and theTobacconist where you buy it.
Cheers!
