Cigar Leaf with Orange Juice Chaser

dottiewarden · Apr 3, 2014

My first pipe smoking experience was all natural Mexican cigar leaf. I had originally purchased it because I was more interested in smoking tobacco rather than a cheap chemical concoction. I had nothing to compare it with at the time, but now that I’ve tried a few blends (including Captain Black) I’m able to really appreciate the all natural flavor. It qualifies as a worthy smoke and rightfully earned a place in my rotation. I had a bowl this morning with an orange juice chaser and the juice acted like a natural topping, significantly enhancing the overall flavor.
Any thoughts, comments or opinion?

Sounds interesting. I like a hard cider with my pipe or some Bourbon, but each to his own.

Dot that sounds like a fine smoke to me. On another thread people were saying how coffee and beer are a good chaser for pipe smoking, and I imagine orange juice is also due to its acidity and ability to "cleanse the palette" so to speak.
Twenty-five years ago I used to smoke a pretty good Mexican cigar brand named Te-Amo. I haven't smoked one in years, but to a twenty-something year-old up-and-comer they smoked pretty fine.
