What Is Bourbon?

Brick and Mortar: Uhle’s Tobacco Company
Uhle’s is a wonderful gem located on the edge of the Milwaukee River and catches the eyes of passersby amidst the beautiful Renaissance and Victorian architecture that adorns the skyline of Milwaukee.
Uhle’s Honduran Corona
An excellent value cigar that holds a quality well above its price range. Full-bodied and flavorful, it would serve as an excellent gift or a quick smoke on a cool evening.
Happy Mother’s Day!
I first started smoking when I was 19. I couldn’t tell you with absolute certainty what the first thing I ever smoked was, but my best guess is a grape-flavored Swisher Sweet cigar.
Grab a Friend!
This year, we’re making a commitment to travel to some of our favorite suppliers and manufacturers, meet with them to learn their story, and put a spotlight on all the wonder they have to offer by writing articles about their operations.
Butternut Burley
A pleasant but not quite memorable aromatic. It’s buttery sweet and smooth with little bite and light flavor. Would be great as a background smoke.
Ohm Menthol
This is a budget menthol tobacco that you can find pretty much anywhere. It delivers a light minty flavor, but lacks body and depth. This tobacco can make for a quick, easy smoke.
Jim Beam Apple
This is a simple, smooth, apple-flavored whiskey that is sweet from start to finish. The lack of complexity is made up for with honesty and excellent flavor.
Golden Shag
Golden Shag is one of my absolute favorite blends of tobacco. I picked my pouch up at the Renaissance Fair from a booth owned by Danny Boy Pipes. This tobacco provides a very mild and smooth smoke all the way through with little bite. It gives a pleasant room note and could definitely be an all-day smoke.
It’s the Season of Love!
