First time pipe smoker today. Went to an estate sale over the weekend and purchased a lot for pocket knives that also included 2 pipes, a nice lighter and a pipe cleaning tool. Got it in my head that I want to try smoking a pipe, but the 2 pipes look brand new so I don't want to make them used if I don't like it. Went down to Walgreens and bought a corncob "Missouri meerschaum" pipe for $10 and a tin of Blenders Gold vanilla tobacco that promised me the contents were created by "master blenders". Somehow I get the feeling that nothing inside the walls of Walgreens was created by master anything. Tried it, not what I was hoping for. So here's where I need your help....
About 30 years ago when I was a teenager my family took a trip to Mendocino. While there I happened to walk by a tobacco shop and was smacked in the nose by the most incredible vanilla scent that filled my head with sweet Smokey goodness. I don't know what they were smoking, but 30 years later I can still close my eyes and smell that delicious perfume. I will never forget that smell, but I may never find it again without your help. Please lead me to the path of vanilla goodness. Where should I start?
