You’ve single-handedly sold more Maltese Falcon than any shop salesman out there. Many of us bought Maltese Falcon because of you. 👍

You were my go-to resource when I started smoking pipe several years ago. After a few years off, I recently took it up again. I was trying so hard to remember how to find you and finally “mutton chop” hit me. Like finding an old friend. Glad you’re still going strong. Thank you 🙏 and all the best to you and yours!

This was my first tobacco purchase after watching your video on getting started on this hobby 5 years ago. The orientals caused terrible tongue bite for me. 😆I watched the movie Maltese Falcon while smoking this blend. It was wonderful!😊✌️

You totally turned me onto plum pudding and in turn got me into Maltese falcon I can actually credit you for getting me into the hobby and showing me the right way

🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉 Fantastic blend! My palate tends to absorb flavors that are earthy + woodsy, with that sweet & sour element popping in from time to time. Be careful not to over salivate! An image that always comes to mind when smoking this is a newly built desk made with fragrant oak, with freshly bound leather books resting in their proper place. I usually smoke ‘Maltese Falcon’ in my Jolly Roger Drake or Clipperton pipe (with a pipe filter adapter to bypass the need for an actual filter).

Thanks!

My favorite blend as well.

🤠🤠🤠🤠, Delicious blend, full flavor.

😎😎😎😎 Certainly one of my favorite English blends ever and my all time favorite English from Mr. Pease. With the perfect amount of smokiness and sweetness this is a wonderful blend for anytime of the day! Thank you MuttnChop for the videos, I wouldn’t be a pipe smoker without you and your knowledge!

Good to see you! I'm excited for these upcoming autumn and winter blends. Come the cold, the pipe brings such a warmth and comfort.

Maltese falcon was the first English I ever tried and is still one of my all time favorites great video btw

Thank you for posting. We appreciate what you are sharing; keep it up!

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨. Thanks to you, this has been one of my favorite English blends since you mentioned it in a video years ago. Thanks for the review!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Oh man Muttinchop this is one of my all-time favorite English blends and one always in my rotation anytime of the year. I get a nice taste of all the components while smoking. Thanks for sharing…Great vid as always

Love it! Always goes fast. In the rotation, and leaves me wanting more!

Yep really like this Falcon it reminds me of 1970 just started college and went to Poor Richards Tobacco shop in SO. Calif and smelt this type tobacco when I walked in, I bought a pipe a some of that blend and was hooked! ❤. This blend is real history for me! Thanks Blend Club & happy holidays & piping.😎👍👍

ive tried many different pipe tobaccos,and i swear the only 2 that i like and smoke daily are half and half and paladin black cherry,just my 2 cents. love the channel!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas, Muttnchop, to you and your family!!

❤❤❤❤❤ I’m lucky enough to have a couple of tins from 2008. It’s so smooth and Smokey, a very slight sweet taste, like a very savoury bbq sauce. It’s fantastic. I don’t know how a new tin would compare.

Maltese Falcon is one of my favorites. 5/5

Love your channel!

❤❤❤❤❤ I stumbled onto Maltese Falcon in a little store on the High Plains of Colorado, Lewis and Holmes, a couple of months back. It has since become one of my top three or four favorites.

🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅 just ordered this for the first time to jump in on the blend club and immediately one of my favorites, thank you muttnchop

one of the best English blends.

One of my favorite English blends! Westminster being my favorite followed by classics like MM965 and Night Cap. Pretty sure your prior videos led me to even try Maltese Falcon…Thanks for the video!

Yep and is this stuff good! I absolutely agree with you on this one it’s a favorite! Thank you😊

I was gonna oppose this but after one year it turned out to be one of the best english blends

Purchased this based on this recommendation. Really really good! I’d call it a mild to medium English. Burns easily. Slightly sweet. Balanced. Delicious. Thank you!!

Back when I smoked cigarettes, my favorite was Bakan Sobranies. I quit cigs in 1999. Last June, age 70 I decided it wasn't going to kill me so I started with cigars and migrated to a churchwarden. I have found if Latakia is in the same ROOM with other tobaccos it overpowers. Just my taste as a "New" piper. I prefer a much milder Cavendish and Bright blend. My local tobacconist mixes a thing called "Longbottom" Which is my favorite. On occasion I will try a latakia mix. sounds like Maltese Falcon is the thing men's Dreams are made of as Bogart said :). I'll try it.

😎😎😎😎😎 I agree Maltese Falcon is an amazing tobacco.

I give this blend a 😊😊😊 rating. I really enjoy this blend. As a primarily English smoker, it's a good one. I would classify it as a breakfast blend. Great first thing in the morning. I would prefer a more robust and sharp profile such as 10 to midnight for a daily smoke. This blend is a bit to subtle to be a go to daily blend for me but great entry level for folks new to English blends.

🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏 I so agree. I LOVE THIS BLEND.

🦌🦌🦌🦌 this is one of my favorite fall / winter blends . I love latakia! However this is by no means an latakia bomb . You can easily taste the oriental with the virgina more in the background. Produces a nice thick smoky draw .

👑👑👑👑👑Definitely among my top five blends, right there next to Nightcap, Ten Russians, War Horse Green.

It’s been a long time since I’ve smoked my pipes, but I still enjoy watching your videos! Like the guy who commented it before me, it’s like enjoying the company of an old friend. I hope all is well, Gods bless!

I’m going to give this blend a try now!

💰💰💰💰💰 I really like this blend. Never would have tried it without your recommendation. Smokes great, silky smooth, nice flavors, great balance...just a really nice tobacco.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 My second favorite English blend after Plum Pudding. Wonderful room note, great flavor. My cellared tins are budged as well, but I have some time before I would need to crack them open.

Thank you I love your videos and a fan of your muttonchops.

🪶🪶🪶 I love English blends however I’ve learned I like my Latakia on the heavy side. This has a unique sweetness/tang that I haven’t tasted in other blends so it’s still an intriguing smoke.

😀😀😀😀😀 I love Maltese Falcon. One of my all time favorites.

I’m going to have to try this one now. Looking forward to trying it.

Just put a hot compress on it several times a day and it should go down on its own. If not, I would go to see your eye doctor to have it drained and to get some antibiotics. 😊hope you heal up fast! This blend is my favorite English because of you. Thanks so much for your videos and knowledge. Truly are one of the fathers of the YTPC for me. Up with Matches860 status. ✌️

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Very interesting. My first English type of blend. I lean toward perique heavy and cavendish blends so this is a 180 turn for me. I like it. If there is such a thing as a “thought provoking” tobacco this would be it. Normally I think about the smoke but with this one I thought about all kinds of things. I will certainly keep this in my rotation. Troy from Louisiana

👍👍👍👍👍Love this blend... because of you lol.. my every day smoke

"emoji" "emoji" "emoji" "emoji" "emoji" Great stuff. When I started pipe smoking I'd buy gallon bags of the cheap stuff from Walgreens. I was also 16 so I had little money or sense.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really liked this from the start. There is a floral or maybe herbaceous quality to it, that since I'm new to pipe smoking, I'm not sure what it is, but I know I really like it. It was on my radar because you mentioned it, so thanks for that.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Maltese Falcon was the first English I ever tried. I picked it up because of the Bogie film connection. And immediately I knew I was smoking a legend. It’s been 25 years and it’s still my favorite tobaccos of all time.

I ordered an 8oz tin of this stuff when you made your comeback and mentioned it. I have gone through it all haha. Its delicious.

Muttonchop Piper, you got me started on this hobby and I really appreciate it. A few years ago I stumbled upon an unopened tin of half and half tobacco from what I believe is the 1960s. I opened the tin and man did it smell incredible! I rehydrated it a bit and it is a great smoke. Would you be willing to do a video comparing the old half and half and the new? I’m willing to donate some of the old half and half to you!

Yeah, Maltese Falcon -really great blend. Like you said, right up there with plum pudding and Quiet Nights...

❤❤❤❤❤ One of my absolute faves, even if I have to pay a fortune in tax to import tubs from America to the UK

Adding this to the cart for my mid month paycheck purchase

I’m with ya to Chop. Orientals are my favorite as well

🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄 This is a 5/5 blend for me. It will always stay in my rotation as long as it stays available to me. When you introduced this to us way back, I fell in love with it, and I never want to run out, haha. Cheers brother ✌️💨

I bought some Maltese Falcon and smoked it once. I’ll have to try it again then I’ll give my opinion on it. It was good to meet you at that show.

🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡 A great blend, one of my favorite English blends and one that has never left my rotation since the first time I tried it.

🍁🍁I wanted to like this one more, especially based on the smell from the tin. Very smoky on the nose, like beef jerky. I can also smell the Virginia. Smoking this, I had a couple of observations. The smell was fairly pleasant, but it had a slight aftertaste that reminded me somewhat of SPC Wild Man, which I pretty much hate. It wasn’t quite as bad since I reasonably enjoyed this and finished the bowl. It was also pretty difficult to keep lit. I’m not sure that it’s that wet, so it’s either the cut or the way I packed it (or both). There are a lot of others I would return to before I reach for this.

Best thing to get rid of a stye is to rub a gold ring across the eye lid,works every time my friend. Great review

Noveha brand antimicrobial eyelid cleansing wipes (Hypochlorous Acid 0.02%) work amazing on relieving cysts on the eyelid

Finding your channel was liking getting the cool Uncle I always wanted

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 another great blend! The tin note doesn’t do this any justice in my opinion. Very deep, smooth and tasty blend. Kinda spicy and smoky. I love it!!!

😊😊😊😊😊

🦅 🦅 🦅🦅 Yes it’s an eagle not a falcon, but still kinda works lol. So I’m not really getting any sweet aspect to it. I’ve had this aging almost 3 years now as well. Everyone’s palate slightly different though I suppose. I’m also using your same Porto Cervo pipe. In any case still an amazing smoke. I’m just not falling over crazy for it. That is why I give it 4 birds vice a perfect 5. Look forward to Sleepy Hollow coming up! Have had that stashed away also.

Definitely a 💜💜💜💜 blend. Mr. Pease is a genius with Balkan blends and I slightly prefer Abingdon, Samarra, and Quiet Nights to this one, but definitely a great blend.

Great talking to you the the Ohio show.

I’m about to begin my pipe smoking journey and would like to pick the minds of these commenters…looking for something light to start off so I can enjoy and not get overwhelmed with flavor or strongness of tobacco. Picking up a sms meerschuam deluxe calabash from offer up tomorrow

👍👍👍👍👍

This is my favorite pipe tobacco!

🤗🤗🤗

For me Latakia really makes a blend !🥰😍🤩🤪.

How would you compare this to Rattray's Black Mallory?

Chris, I turned to you for some advice on a not so common question. In one of your older videos you mentioned at that time you would smoke the same pipe all day. Is that still your practice? And do you adhere to it? Next question what is your take on refilling a fairly warm or hot pipe after you finish the bowl? Looking forward to your advice. Thanks shipmate

🎉🎉🎉🎉

My favorite tobacco

Goood🎉

I'm somewhat new to pipe smoking and have tried several blends. Amphora English, Lane 1Q, Sutliff Pumpkin Spice, Sutliff Kahlua, Mac Barn Golden Extra and Cobblestone Walnut Maple Pie. I seem to like the non aromatic tobaccos a bit more. Though Lane 1Q is very nice. I love the MB Golden Extra. What would be another somewhat like that one?

Any plans for new Muttn-journeys? Loved those!

😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️ For me, it's a 4 out of 5. But I'm not big into latakia. If I loved latakia as much as some people then it would be a five. For my palette, latakia can easily take over a smoke. That being said, this one still has some nuance, and I do find it enjoyable enough to smoke on occasion.

I’m referring to the breathe method of smoking, which you have produced two videos about. In trying this, I don’t know what to do with the back of my tongue. Do I close off my throat, or leave it open access to my lungs? If the latter, then you end up inhaling the smoke, and I would rather not be inhaling. Help me understand what my tongue should do. ???

❤❤❤❤❤. It took me a while to come around to English blends. Maltese Falcon definitely pushed the English blends into my favorites. The tin note is very unique, like someone threw an incense into a camp fire. Don’t let that scare you off though. It’s one of the smoothest English blends you will ever try. The moisture level is (for me) always perfect. It takes a light very easily and smokes nice and slow. The orientals come strait through with their Spicy tang, followed by the smoky Latakia. Very enjoyable! I’ve never gotten tongue bite from it. This blend is definitely one for smoking outdoors. The wife rating for this one is very low though, she says it’s too pungent and I have to change my shirt after smoking this one. It’s worth the trouble though! As always, such a great review video! I look forward to next months!

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Ill buy some maltese falcon

Hey Muttnchop I’ve been a big fan of your channel and love what you’re doing! What pipe is that? I really like the large bowl and thick walls.

I hope that eye gets better brother man!

(N/A) I just got a tin of this, yet to open it.

Mutton- do you have an opinion on the best way or best vendor to contact to replace a pipe stem. My dad gave me a bowl with no stem. All it says is made in Italy. I would like to make this my first church warden. Just don’t know the best way to measure and who to contact.

Question : Do any of you pipers tip the pipe during the smoke to dump any excess ash from the top layers as you burn down the bowl ? Many thanks 🙏🏼

What pipe are you smoking this in? I really like the style.

I'm smoking on an aged molto dolce.

Have you tried The merry monk by Drucquer and sons?

(Maltese Falcon)

I don't understand how anyone can taste anything other then smoke. I've tried different blends in a very good pipe. I've tried different smoking methods and still nothing. Any advice or tips would be appreciated.

😊😊... not for me , i can see the experience smoker liking it

😑😑😑I'm not much for Orientals. I would not recommend this for beginners. Hard to keep lit, little bit of tongue bite. I did not taste a lot of sweetness, some creaminess to it. My can was swollen, made a good hiss when opened. Had more hopes for this one. Room note was good.

🧔🏼‍♂️🧔🏼‍♂️🧔🏼‍♂️🧔🏼‍♂️ Sweet English - I like it.

Where do I buy Maltese Falcon?

first

🪽🪽🪽🪽 Smooth smoke with sweetness from virginias set off by a spiciness/pepper/liquid smoke hickory or applewood taste from the Latakia and orientals- very enjoyable with pleasant room note- this is a writer’s or philosopher’s blend…one that encourages contemplation.

On the milder side on medium to my taste. Moisture was pretty good out of the tin, maybe just slightly moist. I put it in the "sweet english" category. Would be a good introduction to englishes. The "mystery spice" is slightly odd to me, but just my personal palate. It's a decent smoke, I'll finish the tin. Might get anoter tin down the road, but not part of my regular rotation.
