Hello, I am from Saudi Arabia and I really like the material you provide in your channel, and in my humble opinion, I see that you provide thoughtful information through long experience in this art. I wish you longevity and eternal happiness.
Hy my friend, I wanted asked for you something with I have doubtful. In Saudi Arabia is available smoke tobacos freely in the country? The governament or the religion forbit the smoke and yours need smoke hidden? Tanks for all, a wating not do ofended you with my question.
Boy oh boy, if ever we needed someone during covid 19 brother, it would be you. I say this knowing it comes from my own selfishness. I hope you and your family are well. Take care, we miss you..
Sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know a method to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Alaric Dayton thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I believe Cornell And Diehl blends age exceptionally well. I've had their stuff between 5 and 15 years, and the stuff is almost always intoxicating when popping the top on the aged stuff. Just incredible dried fruit and tangy and savory notes and loads of sugar crystals on their tobaccos. I suspect Bijou will age into something very very special.
I always envy the fantastic choice you guys in the States have. And the prices! Hope the FDA don't ruin it for you. Have a happy Christmas Chris, Stephen
Well, I bought my first pipe tobacco and a Chacom pipe kit four days ago. The tobacco was Savinelli Black Cavendish 50 grams which cost almost $31, it seems that around $30 is the average price as far as I have seen here in Sweden for what I guess is premium tobacco. But we have very high taxes on tobacco and alcohol here. The rest of EU I guess have lower taxes...
like Piffilus said, it's depend of the country, for exemple Dunhill night cap 50g cost around $16 in Belgium, $21 in France , $18 in Danemark, $12 in Spain, etc...
@@MuttnchopPiper Hi! Here in Norway, 50 g pipe tobacco costs $ 35, so I buy the tobacco when I am in USA. One time, on Route 4 in NJ, i came over an old, beat rusty tin box: Solani (Virginia,Burley,Sweet perique) Premium Quality. Fantastic tobacco! Have you ever heard of this make?
every now and then i come back to this video for the ultimate comfort, perpetual xmas energy, hope you had a good day chris❤️would love to play some mtg someday
I think pipe smokers have a calm about them , I love the smell of pipe tobacco, even though I don't smoke , I used too , smoked cigarettes, cigars , and smoked a pipe whatever my mood was , but out of all I always enjoyed smoking a pipe , it makes you think things out , and you always come out with an answer. But I gave up about 38 years ago .but still like the idea . Nice interesting video and love the way your shelves are set out. Thank you 😊
I’m new to pipe smoking and I must say I find your videos very enjoyable to watch and very helpful in regards to this new hobby I have taken up, so thank you sir!
You sir. Are my go to person for pipe information. I'm a big fan of yours. And love your videos. I am very big on watching your videos. Please keep making more!
I just subscribed and enjoy your knowledge sharing of the simple pleasures of pipe smoking. Thanks for sharing the hobby and saving tradition. Looking forward to working through all your videos.
I Hail from the United Kingdom (Edinburgh) and as said have never seen any of these tobaccos however over here we still have Samuel Gawith who makes great English blends along with a few others wish we had the diversity of the U.S smokers though great video.
Hello friend Muttnchop Piper. Congratulations on the video. I've watched it several times. So I decided to try Plum Pudding. Arrived today. I can't wait to open the can and smoke.
I would like to stay a year in the states just to smell and taste as many of it's tobaccos as I can! :D Fortunately we have very good blends here in Germany, too!
Thanks a lot for the vid my friend, thank god I have friends in the U.S. who can provide me with these wonderful blends you talk about. Gonna try to buy the Falcon! Salud!
My country mostly only has WA Larsen Golden dream and Sweet aromatic, Stanwell Vanilla and Melange, Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey, Cherry cavendish, and Original, and there is also a Clan aromatic blend. This seems so retarded to me...
I purchased both CAO Eileen's Dream and Maltese Falcon. I am trying to like the Maltese Falcon. The aroma when you pack it is nice, but the taste is like a pack of crayons...hard to explain. On the other hand the CAO Eileen's Dream is my new favorite next to Watch City's Aromatic #7. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you for the recommendations. I watched your video on the “right” tobacco and you recommended getting a premium blend for my first time. I’m new and never smoked out of a pipe, but my pipe is in the Mail and just ordered a couple of blends from the list you provided. P.S. your chops are awesome!
Hi Mutt, is always a pleasure to watch at your tutorials. I’m from Italy and it’s a regret not to be able to have these tobaccos you are reviewing. In particular Would be very interested in trying the Plum Pudding. Thanks have a good day Mutt!
I have access to the solani aged Burley from your list and that's all I need, the aged burley is FANTASTIC. Other than that, we have some really talented tobacco blenders in Germany, so we might be locked out of us tobacco, but there is this a lot of good tobacco to choose from 😊
I am truly enjoying the Maltese Falcon....great morning ...lunch ...or evening pipe blend. Its just a good relaxing flavorful blend. My favorite is Pete S... 306 English Oriental....that's my island blend...but this is right behind it... puffing on it right now....damn good stuff.
Hey Muttonchop, I know this may be a little long, but really wanted to say I am very happy I found your channel. I started pipe smoking back in May. My grandfather passed on early this year and I requested one his pipes. He stopped smoking the pipe in the 90s. But I have many found memories of the smell. Cannot stand cigarettes but the pipe tobacco is completely different. Well in his memory I bought his go to tobacco Sir Walter Raleigh and smoked one of his pipes in memory of him. I have never smoked a cigarette, do not like cigars. Well... I loved the zen experience, feeling and now have a bowl 1-2 a week. There is so much to learn...especially all the tobacco options can be overwhelming. Did find The Brair Shoppe in Houston (well known) and bought a few different ounces of their house blends. But still learning. Completely off topic, at 8:45 in this video, I hear chimes from a clock. Well loved those chimes that all brings back a memory. Could you tell me what type of clock you have. Maybe a photo. I was smoking a pipe watching this video and those chimes were very pleasant. Thanks again for all your videos! Very helpful to a new pipe smoker.
BuffaloWanderer1836 - lets start at the beginning concerning the clock chimes you hear. When I was little my parents would send me to my grandparents house in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky for a week, and I absolutely loved it, in their house they had a Sears & Roebuck’s wall clock that would chime every hour, and the ticking of the pendulum was so loud it would rock me to sleep. Fast forward to 2012, I purchased my first Android phone and at some point while owning that phone I wondered if there was an app that would simulate the chiming of a grandfather, or wall clock, and sure enough there was. So the chimes you hear in this video are actually coming from my phone.....how cool is that. 👍👍👍
Back to the pipe after a 30 year hiatus. Love your channel. I have two different tobacco's that aren't supposed to bite, they do. Probably just me. I tried your Ilene's Dream. Very nice, burns quite well, and no bite. Thanks for the guidance!
Thanks Chris here in the uk we can get no where near as many tobaccos and we have only a few good tobacconists but we still have some marvellous blends to try so all is not lost “ yet”
Sooooooo excited. .. my 8oz tin of Maltese Falcon arrived today...gonna give my Mr Brog a good cleaning tonight and tomorrow. ..the bird with coffee to start my morning. .. Not even opening it until morning. ..woots.
Have you ever tried capt black royal? I can't put it down. My everyday all day long smoke. For an OTC I can't believe it. It's so smooth and sweet. Tin and room not is off the chart. I can't find anything to touch it at least with my taste anyways. We are all different. It's gold and black cavendish. 👍👍👍👍👍
hillbilly piper - I have tried it, and you’re right it’s a very good blend, my taste have switched to non-Aromatic blends for now, but every now and again I splash in a little Aromatic, and Capt. Black fills the bill sometimes. 👍👍👍
I tried plum pudding for the first time yesterday evening. Love it. As a new pipe smoker that only has smoked aromatics. It was a definite change. First bowl review. Tin note is a strong aged leather and earthy aroma, very bold. My girlfriend did not like it. The smoke is very white, cloudy and smooth. The taste is very strong, full bodied. It tastes aged. I definitely taste an earthy, leathery, possibly nutty taste. There is a hint of fruity sweetness that I didn't notice until the end. It definitely keeps me interested guessing throughout the entire bowl. Some flavors I haven't placed quite yet. No tounge bite. I imagined myself in a damp forest with a bright blue, night sky in the background with a few stars coming out of partial black sky. Also a backwoods cabin with a fire going far from anything. A rustic feeling I suppose. Great smoke when I want some meat and potatoes like, heavy full flavored smoke. Thanks for the great reviews that led me to this keeper.
I now need to go and get some Central Park Stroll, Stonehaven, and Eileen's Dream. I am mainly a black cavendish smoker who is beginning to branch out into aromatics, so this video is very helpful. Thanks for posting!
Dear Sir, It seems to me, you have great selection of tobaccos based on your experience - i will get some of them to try as well. Thank you for valuable description of the blends!
Very informative. I've smoked many blends but of your top ten, I have only smoked three of them (plum pudding, Frog Morton OTT, and Eileen's dream). I guess I will be trying several more blends. Thank you.
I do have to agree the Maltese Falcon is pretty darn great, I've tried a few other blends that are often too strong such as Peterson's Nightcap (Which is also extremely good but knocked me on my ass.) but since I tried Maltese Falcon I just find I can't go wrong with it. It just works well all around.
My personal taste runs with - Velvet - Pipe Tobacco and Grainger with that said what is a super high end tobacco that you like that would run it that realm of flavor ?
What would be a good flake did me to try. Sweet a little bit a medium to strong as well. I'm still learning what different tobaccos have to offer as far as taste. Thank you. From Longbottom Ohio. Ryan
Great video, sir. Now I'm watching your video and smoking a bowl of Maltese Falcon, that I bought due to your previous recommendations. Thank you for that!
Hey MC, I finally got to try Maltese Falcon and its a winner for sure. Smokey, sweet bread and very mild with a low heat. Just love it man, thanks for the excellent recommendations.
Hi Chris, thanks for thinking about the european viewers. I have some good news. GL Pease blends are imported by a company in Swiss so Maltese Falcon should be available in most countries in Europe. Esoterica tobacco's are made by JF Germains and sons on the island of Jersey between Engeland and France. They also produce unter their own name a blend called Rich Dark Flake and it is almost the same or exactly the same as Stonehaven. So there are some options for us pipe-smokers on this side of the Atlantic
makes great sense reviewing ones favorites by Blend as you can't compare apples and oranges. Have to say my overall star of the show this year was the Solani aged Burley. Happy new year Muttnchop.
Maybe this is like being a new Scotch drinker, it takes time to acquire the taste, but I've immediately gravitated to Frog Morton on the Town and rejected the other types of blends I've tried due to their, for lack of a better word, "blandness". That includes Elizabethan Mixture. I'll give them some time and see what happens.
Hey, Chris, I love your videos, and I've found them incredibly useful as I get more into this hobby. Anyways, I bought a couple tins of Plum Pudding, and I was just curious how you usually prepare a pressed tobacco such as that for smoking, and if you personally prepare the whole tin at once, or if you do it as you use it? Also, I want to cellar a tin of it, but I'm not sure if I should leave it in the tin unopened,or transfer it to a mason jar? Thanks in advance, and keep making great videos!
Ethan C - The way I prepare Plum Pudding I just peel off a portion and break it up as loose as I can get it, then pack it in my pipe loose, the more you press it into the pipe the less air circulates, then you are constantly relighting because it won’t stay lit. If you have the tobacco in the tins, I keep them there, once you open the tin, transfer it to a canning jar. 👍👍👍
FMOTT contains Basma, which is a very small, sweet oriental leaf. It's what makes FMOTT my #1 Choice in the Craftsbury Series (5 Frog Morton and 3 Other Blends). I am big fan of all Pease Blends and Maltese Falcon is a top-class blend.
just ordered Dunhill Early Morning Cornell & Diehl Black Cherry Cornell & Diehl Billy Budd Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding Peter Stokkebye 402 Luxury Twist Flake
sdh3237 - I think that is the purpose of favorite blend videos, to call attention to blends you may not of heard of, or know little or nothing about, that way you can pick up a tin now and again of something new. Merry Christmas to you as well my friend. 🎄🎄🎄
Good evening Muttnchop! I bought some Seattle pipe club plum pudding tobacco and I'm not sure if it's my pipe or what but I'm not tasting much of a flavor. Any Thoughts or suggestions? Keep up the great work buddy.
Would love to see an updated version of this video
Diddo. Wonder if anything will change either due to taste or lack of availability due to tobacco company closures.
George Coblin Haven’t heard a word from Muttnchop in close to 5 months-worried about him.
Now it’s six months
@@tallentstravels5727 he commented on a video a few days ago .. hes really busy , but hes doing well . Has a lot going on at this time ...
Anyone know what pipe tobacco would have the flavor of Redman chew? Is that even possible?

Wow. Most tins here sell for $7-$15, depending on whether it's 50g or 100g. Also bulk prices are WAY lower.

@@MuttnchopPiper Hi!
Here in Norway, 50 g pipe tobacco costs $ 35, so I buy the tobacco when I am in USA. One time, on Route 4 in NJ, i came over an old, beat rusty tin box: Solani (Virginia,Burley,Sweet perique) Premium Quality. Fantastic tobacco!
Have you ever heard of this make?
Would love to see an update video on your current favorite blends :)
I love your demeanor, your tobacco sensibility, your presence. Thanks for being around!

Awesome video! Been wondering for quite sometime “your list”. Please please please do an updated video of your favorites 7 years later.
Still watching in 2021. Your stoic and wise demeanor is missed I hope life is going well, and wish to see you bless my screen with a new video again.
My local tobaconist has a shelf of Esteroica products that she hasn't sold in close to 3 years, but it's always kept cool and dry

Excellent review. I especially like the written tobaccos in the description. This is my first time watching Muttnchop. It won't be my last.
Paul Anschuetz - Thanks Paul, I appreciate your kind words. 👍👍👍
Just found your channel, hand roller here. Love the content. Subscribed and binge watching your channel now. 😊
Hello friend Muttnchop Piper.
Congratulations on the video. I've watched it several times. So I decided to try Plum Pudding. Arrived today. I can't wait to open the can and smoke.
Thanks for the breakdown. Time for a new adventure and I think, based on your description, Eileen's Dream is something I want to try.
I would like to stay a year in the states just to smell and taste as many of it's tobaccos as I can! :D Fortunately we have very good blends here in Germany, too!
Thanks so much for the Dunhill information , and all your doing ! Being a pipe smoker from the late 80's , Thanks for being there!
Mark Foster - You bet my friend. 👍👍👍
Thanks a lot for the vid my friend, thank god I have friends in the U.S. who can provide me with these wonderful blends you talk about. Gonna try to buy the Falcon! Salud!
Thanks for the apology. It is torture, I'm European and it's crazy how hard it is to get pipe tobacco and tobacco products.
My country mostly only has WA Larsen Golden dream and Sweet aromatic, Stanwell Vanilla and Melange, Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey, Cherry cavendish, and Original, and there is also a Clan aromatic blend. This seems so retarded to me...
Its a shame such a stereotypical british thing, dont know if your english i apologize if i offend, is so destroyed in europe
Try 4noggins for these blends
wow, just checked and I can buy Maltese falcon and plum pudding in the UK!
I purchased both CAO Eileen's Dream and Maltese Falcon.
I am trying to like the Maltese Falcon. The aroma when you pack it is nice, but the taste is like a pack of crayons...hard to explain.
On the other hand the CAO Eileen's Dream is my new favorite next to Watch City's Aromatic #7.
Thank you for your videos.
Thank you for the recommendations. I watched your video on the “right” tobacco and you recommended getting a premium blend for my first time.

Thanks have a good day Mutt!
Yes - Maltese Falcon is an amazing smoke and possibly my favourite too!
I live in the uk and I’m lucky enough to live in a town that had a tobacconists and has tons of options for pipe tobacco
Thanks for a great year of videos....your efforts help me to know what to look for during a smoke. That increases the pleasure. Well done my man!
Kenneth Lustig - thank you my friend. 👍👍👍
I have access to the solani aged Burley from your list and that's all I need, the aged burley is FANTASTIC. Other than that, we have some really talented tobacco blenders in Germany, so we might be locked out of us tobacco, but there is this a lot of good tobacco to choose from 😊
Some of these no longer available. Was going to try the Frog.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars to Maltese Falcon from me too. Excellent tobacco.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars to Black Duck from me as well. Also excellent tobacco.
Hey hey hey! I'm puffing some Frog Morton on the Town in my Cobbit Shire, while watching this. 😁Great video btw.
Jon Macklin - great stuff that tobacco, thanks my friend. 👍👍👍
I am truly enjoying the Maltese Falcon....great morning ...lunch ...or evening pipe blend. Its just a good relaxing flavorful blend. My favorite is Pete S... 306 English Oriental....that's my island blend...but this is right behind it... puffing on it right now....damn good stuff.
Michael Page - I'm glad you like it my friend, I'll have to give Pete S. 306 English Oriental a try. 👍👍👍

Lucky man! Here in Italy we have crazy prices and a bit of choice. So sad :(
Excellent, excellent vid Chris. Congrats. I liked it very, very much. Thanks a lot buddy.
Challenger Dart - you're welcome, and thanks for watching. 👍👍👍
Great video...I now have some new blends to look forward to trying!
David Fodor - I hope they meet with your approval. 👍👍👍
@@MuttnchopPiper I am sure they will! Have you ever tried Iwan Rees Three Star Blue? It's a good one as well.
Wow! A superb selection, if I can get them I will get them all!
Red Coat - You won’t be disappointed. 👍👍👍
Please make an update on this
Very informative. I've smoked many blends but of your top ten, I have only smoked three of them (plum pudding, Frog Morton OTT, and Eileen's dream). I guess I will be trying several more blends. Thank you.
paulie pipes - thank you my friend, and yes the rest of the blends on my list are at least worth a try. 👍👍👍
I do have to agree the Maltese Falcon is pretty darn great, I've tried a few other blends that are often too strong such as Peterson's Nightcap (Which is also extremely good but knocked me on my ass.) but since I tried Maltese Falcon I just find I can't go wrong with it. It just works well all around.
excellent , ill be buying some of these to try! Thank you this helps me being a new tobacco smoker
My personal taste runs with - Velvet - Pipe Tobacco and Grainger with that said what is a super high end tobacco that you like that would run it that realm of flavor ?
What would be a good flake did me to try. Sweet a little bit a medium to strong as well. I'm still learning what different tobaccos have to offer as far as taste. Thank you. From Longbottom Ohio. Ryan
Ryan Hawthorne - I would suggest peter Stokkabye luxury twist Flake, or Mac Barren old dark fired, or Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky. 👍👍👍
Always a pleasure.
Awesome video brother! Always enjoy watching your channel
Gian M - thank you my friend. 👍👍👍
Great video, sir. Now I'm watching your video and smoking a bowl of Maltese Falcon, that I bought due to your previous recommendations. Thank you for that!
Anthony Burtov - I hope you are enjoying it, it's my favorite. 👍👍👍
Mr Muttenchop,
May I ask, has your list changed since 6 years ago?
Thanks
Yes, this year's blend club are my favorite tobaccos
Appreciate it sir!
Hey MC, I finally got to try Maltese Falcon and its a winner for sure. Smokey, sweet bread and very mild with a low heat. Just love it man, thanks for the excellent recommendations.
Hi Chris, thanks for thinking about the european viewers. I have some good news. GL Pease blends are imported by a company in Swiss so Maltese Falcon should be available in most countries in Europe. Esoterica tobacco's are made by JF Germains and sons on the island of Jersey between Engeland and France. They also produce unter their own name a blend called Rich Dark Flake and it is almost the same or exactly the same as Stonehaven. So there are some options for us pipe-smokers on this side of the Atlantic
Ruben Scheer - that's great to hear, I felt for you guys not being able to get a lot of the blends we enjoy here in the states. 👍👍👍
Muttnchop Piper We still miss out on a lot of blends but now and then there's a pleasant exception.
makes great sense reviewing ones favorites by Blend as you can't compare apples and oranges. Have to say my overall star of the show this year was the Solani aged Burley. Happy new year Muttnchop.
Dave John Elliott - Thanks Dave. 👍👍👍
Nice video. I'm smoking the missippi river blend. Very tasty. Looking forward to trying plum pudding and Maltese falcon.
adam Allfox - they are mighty tasty my friend, I don't think you will be disappointed. 👍👍👍
Maybe this is like being a new Scotch drinker, it takes time to acquire the taste, but I've immediately gravitated to Frog Morton on the Town and rejected the other types of blends I've tried due to their, for lack of a better word, "blandness". That includes Elizabethan Mixture. I'll give them some time and see what happens.
Hey, Chris, I love your videos, and I've found them incredibly useful as I get more into this hobby.
Anyways, I bought a couple tins of Plum Pudding, and I was just curious how you usually prepare a pressed tobacco such as that for smoking, and if you personally prepare the whole tin at once, or if you do it as you use it?
Also, I want to cellar a tin of it, but I'm not sure if I should leave it in the tin unopened,or transfer it to a mason jar? Thanks in advance, and keep making great videos!
Ethan C - The way I prepare Plum Pudding I just peel off a portion and break it up as loose as I can get it, then pack it in my pipe loose, the more you press it into the pipe the less air circulates, then you are constantly relighting because it won’t stay lit. If you have the tobacco in the tins, I keep them there, once you open the tin, transfer it to a canning jar. 👍👍👍
FMOTT contains Basma, which is a very small, sweet oriental leaf. It's what makes FMOTT my #1 Choice in the Craftsbury Series (5 Frog Morton and 3 Other Blends). I am big fan of all Pease Blends and Maltese Falcon is a top-class blend.
ThePipeMonk - oh yeah, love that Basma leaf. 👍👍👍
Great review I really appreciated all the blends...I am going to have to try the pudding and falcon.
Damn, more tins to buy! Another great video!
just ordered Dunhill Early Morning
Cornell & Diehl Black Cherry
Cornell & Diehl Billy Budd
Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding
Peter Stokkebye 402 Luxury Twist Flake
Christopher Ramsey - Sounds like a great selection my friend. 👍👍👍
Great video. It is very informative and gives me some ideas for future purchases. Merry Christmas!
sdh3237 - I think that is the purpose of favorite blend videos, to call attention to blends you may not of heard of, or know little or nothing about, that way you can pick up a tin now and again of something new. Merry Christmas to you as well my friend. 🎄🎄🎄
Good evening Muttnchop!
I bought some Seattle pipe club plum pudding tobacco and I'm not sure if it's my pipe or what but I'm not tasting much of a flavor. Any Thoughts or suggestions? Keep up the great work buddy.
