I received a package of 3 corn cob pipes and 3 tobacco pouches to try out for the first time a couple days ago.
A MM country gentleman, washington and legend.
I first tried the half and half and it smells good in the pouch but once lit with the 3 stage method and charring light, all i seem to taste is that same nasty ash flavor you get from cigarettes.
I used all 3 tobaccos (half and half, sir walter raleigh and velvet) in the 3 different pipes and all 3 taste identical. It just tastes like i am eating a campfire. I sip very slowly, have tried with and without filters and clean after every smoke. I have just ordered some lane 1q and frogmortons cellar hoping this will give me the more desired flavors i was hoping for. I have maybe smoked 20 cigarettes in my life and really hate the taste, but i have smoked a hookah/shisha with flavored tobacco before which i loved.
Is that just the flavor of burning tobacco that i hate and I'm not someone who can get enjoyment from this hobby? or am i smoking rather cheap and low end tobacco? I also have a horrible taste in my mouth after i finish smoking. Thanks for the help, much appreciated. Im hoping i can learn and get enjoyment from pipe smoking!
