It is hard to come up with an original idea but I'll throw this out to see what you think.
Basically, the idea is an organized tobacco crawl, similar to a pub crawl, when groups visit different pubs and try different beverages. The idea is that participants agree to try a variety of specified blends for say, a week or a month. We could have theme tours, say a tour for pipe newbies; a VaPer tour, Balkan Tour, Bulk tour; line tour, etc.
Off the top of my head, I think a monthly tour with four or different tobaccos could be manageable. Long enough to investigate blends but short enough to avoid tedium. TobacCrawlers (BacCrawlers?) would share their opinions, reviews and insights of the weekly choice online. We could have different crawl guides, maybe some from the industry, others could be old timers, some would be aficionados of blends, lines, or styles.
The more I write, the more excited I'm getting. The first tour might be an organized introduction to the world of tobaccos, focusing on the basics. Week One would be maybe straight Virginias, week two a burley, week three maybe a Vaper; week four maybe an English or Balkan, and perhaps finally an aromatic.
Later crawls might be all VaPers, English, or all G.L.Pease or C&D, etc.
What do you think? Hope I'm not repeating an established idea but haven't seen anything quite like it on the boards. I can really see this idea going viral
What do say? Any interest? Volunteers to organize the first crawl?
