I appreciate those who take the time to help educate me. While I am new to pipes and pipe tobacco, I have been smoking cigars for 5-6 years.
I just purchased this pipe--through Viking Club:
I had planned on going the recommended route, of smoking and getting the hang using a cobb--I have several, but I somehow stumbled upon the gent's site, read his "about me," and liked what I read. Then my tobacco impulse kicked in and the next thing you know, I am a customer--no regrets.
My questions are:
Could you gents recommend several tobaccos that might be up my alley? I like full, rich tobacco. Medium full, to full. I am thinking I won't enjoy aromatics as much as other types of pipe tobacco.
secondly, what is customary in terms of a pipe and smoking different tobacco types? Is it best to reserve one pipe to one type, or does it really matter?
The other question I have concerns rotating pipes. What is customary in terms of giving a pipe rest in between smokes? 24 hours?
I realize, as is the case in the cigar world, that these are somewhat vague questions and there's probably additional criteria that are needed. However, any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
