View Full Version : A Review/Tobacco Giveaway to Support My Local B&M

I’m a big fan of Milan Tobacconists (http://www.milantobacco.com) in Roanoke, Virginia. Though the shop is over an hour from me, I get there in person several times a year and I get next day priority mail service from them regularly. They have a great selection, great service, and thanks to Herf N Turf , I can even testify to the greatness of their private lounge. They are my sole source of all my Davidoff, Fuente, and Kristoff cigars and their house pipe blends are excellent. In an attempt to increase awareness as to what they offer my fellow pipe smokers, I am personally hosting a Review/Giveaway here on CB. The first 7 people to sign up will receive from me 10oz (5 varieties) of Milan’s best blends.
All I ask in exchange is that you post reviews of the 5 blends you receive in a separate thread that I will start once the tobacco is shipped out.
I will ship anywhere in the continental US and I’m looking to get the packages out by next Wednesday because I will be in Mississippi for the first week and a half of June. First come, first serve, just make sure you have been on the boards for at least a month before you sign up. Copy the list below and add your name. When full, I’ll kick it off. One final note- all blends are of the aromatic variety. They are high quality aros, but if you only smoke English blends or or straight Virginias, this isn't for you.

While I typically do not lean towards aromatics, I don't believe I have ever tried many really good quality ones.
Mostly just drugstore stuff and Sutliff bulk blends.
I would love to take part.
Also, I will help you with getting the word out about your local store by posting the reviews on my Youtube channel. I don't have a ton of followers yet, but I'm getting quite a few views already. It will help spread the word.
BTW, I have tried one Milan blend before, King's Ransom, and it was VERY good.
Also, I have you to thank for my favorite aromatic, H&H Burley Kake. Ever since you turned me on to that blend, its been my favorite aro. :)

You can't fool us, Tobias!
We know you are just trying to garner more Bum of the Month votes!
But really, thanks for doing this. It has been a while since we have had one of these!
Don't sign me up just yet. If it hasn't filled up by tomorrow, I'll add my name to the list.

I've scanned their website a few times, plan to give some of their stuff a try when finances look better, if they ship to Canada. Look forward to reading the reviews, and seeing what I might like to try.

I'm not a good reviewer. It's either yum, yuck or OK. I'm working on using bigger words, but the whole spelling thing is holding me back. If you don't get the seventh, I'll toss in for last call.....

I'll go for it, if the aro blends are at least not just all-cavendish. A VaBur blend with an aro topping is something I can dig sometimes. Also, I am partial to the more chocolate/vanilla end of the aro spectrum, though I'm also cool with whisky and rum flavors.

Mine has delivery scheduled for today, but I am out of the office this afternoon and tomorrow.
Depending on what time I get back in town tomorrow will determine whether I post pics tomorrow or Wednesday.
Thanks again Tobias. Excited to try these new blends, and reviewing tobaccos is always fun.

JK, that's a copy of Haebar 's pic - too lazy to take my own. Looks like I got a few different blends, but it's hard to tell w/ the handwriting.

Tobias Lutz, here is a very cool video of a guy in the Youtube pipe community doing an interview with the owner, in the Milan store.
Thought you'd like to take a look.
