Good evening gentlemen, tonight was my first night smoking something other than captain black regular. I live in northern Alberta Canada and buying tobacco is not the easiest of things. After reading a lot of posts on this forum from members greatly experienced in the smoking of pipes and pipe tobacco, after sending some private msgs to some Canadian members I decided to order some tobacco from smokingpipes.com.
I ordered the following, Dunhill: Flake, Samuel Gawith: Full Virginia Flake, Solani: Aged Burley Flake - 656, and A & C Petersen: Escudo Navy Deluxe.
The price was unbelievable! Here in northern Alberta I pay 35 dollars for a single pouch of captain black regular. I know what your thinking but we don't need to get into Canada's taxes. All said and done 4, 50 gram tins was less than 2 pouches of the captain shipped to my door.
Tonight I smoked the Escudo Navy Deluxe, holy mother of god what a difference. The smoke was cold and smooth all the way to the bottom of the bowl and it stayed lit for over 45 mins and I smoked one bowl for over 1 hour 15 mins. This was a totally new experience for me. I always enjoyed the captain but this smoke was unreal.
Its going to be hard to top the experience I just had on my back porch with a home made rum and coke my tamper, my lighter and my favorite pipe.
I just thought some of you might like to hear of my mind blowing awesome end to my night.
Please if anyone has any recommendations of tobacco to try please let me know.
Cheers and have a good one!
