I know Bilbo Baggins is a fictional character, but something so trivial as being real should not deter us from celebrating his birthday! So, Peter and I whipped-up a batch of Tewksbury & Company’s Hobbit’s Weed. We used the original recipe with the original ingredients, recreating this popular blend.

TAKEN FROM THE DEVIL’S HAND DARK COROJO BY ESTEBAN CARRERAS
I love cigars that have a backstory and this one is HUGE! Taken From The Devil’s Hand, or Devil’s Hand for those that like brevity, has a fascinating backstory about its tobacco. Gonzalo Puentes, who runs Esteban Carreras’ factory, once worked for Cuba’s Ministry of Agriculture, and in particular the group responsible for tobacco production. As the story is told,…

Carolina Red Flake 2022 Small Batch

Peterson 125th Dracula
Since the inaugural release in 2012, the Dracula has become one of Peterson’s most popular regular production series, characterized by its evocative stem work and ghoulish aesthetics befitting the Gothic horror genre.

Take A Trip To Flavortown!
The Mayor of Flavortown, Chef Guy Fieri, has a stealth love for cigars that he doesn’t share through his shows on the Food Network, but he’s a big fan nonetheless. He’s such a fan of cigars that he’s teamed up with Eric Espinosa to release Knuckle Sandwich. Available in both Habano and Maduro wrappers, both cigars are what Guy would…

Katerini Perique Style
NOTE: This new take on an old tobacco began as an experiment by Mark Ryan, owner of L.A. Poche Perique Tobacco, the ONLY surviving processor of original Perique tobacco. Katerini is a very important tobacco producing area in the southwest of Thessalonika on mountain slopes of mainland Greece (western Macedonia). The small, heart shaped leaf that takes the area’s name…

The La Palina Experience
March 16th thru April 4th we’re spotlighting the La Palina line of cigars here at Chesapeake. Although La Palina has roots that go back to 1896, brand recognition isn’t very robust. As we personally selected several of the La Palina lines for inclusion in our humidor, we are very committed to introducing these cigars to a larger number of our…

OVER 200 PIPE TOBACCOS
When we moved from Edgewater to Annapolis in 2016, we intentionally changed our name from Chesapeake Cigar to Chesapeake Pipe & Cigar. We did so because we saw a huge void left by Fader’s and The Smoke Shop as they both had closed their doors. Over the six-years since we added a pipe-centric focus to our business, we have built…
