Hello Pipe and Tobacco Aficionados, hope all is well out there. Can anyone share any knowledge on a tobacco blend, "Caledonia Superior Mixture Melange # 421". I believe it was an Aromatic on the sweet side and may no longer be in production. If you buy chance tried this blend how would you rate it ? In addition it's a possibility that the manufacture may no longer be in operation. I thank you and remember, smoke what you like and like what you smoke. Take some time to contemplate and be safe. :-)

Peterson/Dunhill Early Morning Pipe, Peterson/Dunhill Nightcap, Presbyterian
Yes, it would be a codger blend.
I had to add a few more blends to the list.
Oh, and by the way. They are not necessarily all my top choices. I have smoked all of them except the Latakia tobaccos, and the Peterson/Dunhill Royal Yacht and sadly (because I always miss out) the SG Full Virginia Flake.
Hmm, now that I am thinking about it, I may have acquired some awhile back…I guess I’m going to have to look through my “stash”.🤔. So, if I have smoked the SG FVF, I have forgot….old age may be creeping up on me😳
I am pretty predictable with what I smoke. I stick pretty religiously to the blends that I like.
Aromatic: Country Squire Figgy pudding
VaPer: This inst exactly a classic VaPer but I think it still falls into that category, it's Peterson Irish Cask. There are a few more I love, Davidoff Danish blend and CS Rivendell come to mind.
I'll play!
Aromatic: The Untouchables (HU/MA/DTM)
English: Bengal Slices
VaPer: Vauen Jubilee 150
burley: C&D Crooner
Virginia: Carolina Red Flake
Do it all the time.
I am always buying new tobacco’s. As I think I mentioned previously, my “cellar” is wide, not deep. There are very few tobacco’s that I really dislike in all the ones I have tried…except Latakia’s, and maybe most Sutliff tobaccos, not because of the flavor, just because they are so dang wet, and torch my tongue.
"wide but not deep" sounds like a blond woman I knew from Arkansas!
I use balsa filters. I did switch to charcoal for a period of time but switched back. If you want to adequately control for moisture, balsa is the only way to go in my opinion, and you have to replace them no more than every couple of bowls.
I knew that was coming <notice the spelling😬. Trying to head you off at the pass this time🤔
Hey! I knew her… at least two or three times.
Make sure you don’t pass up any Dunhill’s, Charatan’s Make, Comoy’s, Castello’s….oh, and especially Paulo Becker’s, Eltang’s, Tao’s, S.Bang and the like😬. Unless they are complete firewood, which, for some reason, there seem to be a lot of “firewood” Dunhill estates…It must be because people think they are worth more, they’ll try to sell a junker Dunhill, when they would just throw most any other pipe in the trash. Man I see a bunch of burned out/cracked Dunhill’s that people try to sell. Quite a few Charatan and Savinelli (especially autographs) with the beginnings of a burnout showing through the sides as well. Interestingly, they seem to be the bent dublins.
I switched out of charcoal because I inhale every once in a while...I know that sounds odd. With the charcoal filters I was noticing my throat becoming somewhat raw feeling which I thought was odd because they are supposed to catch more crap than balsa. One day I performed an experiment where I took some bright white paper and blew through 'em onto the paper then simply tapped the charcoal filters onto the paper as well and you could see small amounts of charcoal powder on the paper if you looked closely enough. So, I guess what was happening was I was sucking in charcoal every time I inhaled which probably isn't a good thing to do. Apparently, these places don't wash their charcoal before they load it into the tubes.
Your buddy should be able to give you a list of the pipes. Most of them should have some name stamped on them.
Sorry, no.
