Since this post, I have been "experimenting"! I have been rolling my own true pipe tobacco in ryo rice paper wrappers. I have been smoking a bit of Frog Morton on the Town this way, as well as a few aros.
I have to say, it have been a pleasant diversion. I have found it to be a pipe tobacco smoking option that has several applications in my life, not as a replacement to pipe smoking, but an additional tool for enjoying good pipe tobacco.
