My deepest apologies to our avid readers out there for the lack of new posts in quite a while... a long while... sorry...
Thankfully, we now have several new tobaccos to review, so please keep reading and enjoying your ability to smoke a fine cigar, or a Peterson pipe- for it won't be long before there is a complete ban on our civil liberties (I'm a cynic, but hey, most smokers are...).

Our Favourite Tobacconist!
We are both based in Durham, UK, and one of the best things about this city is the Indoor Market- where one can find our favourite tobacconist shop. We encourage everyone in Durham to buy all your tobacco from here to support local business, and be sure to tell Jim that Tom and Kevin sent you!

Our Rating System
Smoking Time: The general range of time the cigar or cigarillo takes to smoke. Obviously this is irrelevant for pipe and rollie tobaccos.
Flavour: The intensity of the flavour of the smoke, not how nice the flavour is.
Sweetness: Fairly straightforward, the higher the rating, the sweeter the smoke.
Tar: The amount of liquid that builds up in the bottom of the pipe, or at the end of the cigar. Many large cigars get quite the buildup of tar while smoking, which can often be solved by cutting a bit more off the mouth-end.
Value for Money: Our rating taking the cost of the tobacco into account.
Indulgence Factor: Our rating for just how ridiculously luxurious the tobacco is... if it scores high, it's the sort of thing you would get for a special occasion.
Overall Rating: This is our rating regardless of price- the cheapest of dry cigarillos would probably be a one, the finest of well-kept cuban cigars would be a ten...
