If I’m Lighting Up An Unused Pipe For The First Time...

[gatorlope]

..., should I be using Cherry tobacco? nana

 

[judcole]

Whatever floats your boat.

 

[prndl]

It's a large world. There are worse things to put inside a pipe.

Or, so I've been told.

 

[seldom]

Yes. Cherry has natural oils that cure the unused pipe. The trick is to smoke the goopiest cherry tobacco you can find and to smoke an entire tin. This will allow the oils to work. Afterward you will be able to enjoy Virginia's without the briar taste interfering with the smoke.

I jest! New pipe smokers please disregard!!

Live free or die.

 

[didimauw]

I've smoked many strange things before, but NEVER have I ruined a good pipe with cherry flavored anything!

I just don't like cherry flavor.

?

 

[Patrick_Green]

Cherry flavored anything reminds me of cold medicine from my childhood.

 

[anotherbob]

yes if only to induce night terrors in some of the fellows here. The fancier the pipe the more screams we will hear.

 

[seldom]

I've actually enjoyed HU Jerry Saronno! I just wouldn't break in a new pipe with it unless it was I a pipe I expected to smoke aromatics in. Having typed that, there are those who prefer a ghosted pipe. No skin off my back.

 

[Chasing Embers]

My Devil's Holiday pipe.

You must "pop" a new tin of Cherry Tobacco.

Like Paladin Black Cherry?
It did taste like my childhood cough medicine.
There's also War Horse that can challenge that.
Tasted awful to me.

You never heard of Carter Hall!?

Damn, I had typed out four paragraphs when I decided that I had better read the OP before just responding to the thread title... and that will teach me to read more carefully. I confused the word “unused” for “unusual.” Now, I’m not sure what to say, except... cherry? Smoke what you like and like what you smoke.

Captain Black Grape... the Grape oils season the bowl and...

 

[gatorlope]

I do have some “Bootlegger” tobacco and they have since changed the name to “Drunken Cherry”, which might be of some help when accosting a virgin pipe...

I do have an American Indian pipe made of antler that has a heavy cake and a very mellowing effect when I smoke tobacco in it, so I would call that a friendly ghost! I just can’t say what the former owners might have smoked in it or if it was even tobacco!?

Yeah, unused, definitely! Cherry tobacco for a virgin pipe!
It just seemed appropriate! ?
