You need to follow that up with a pinch of Hedges snuff next time. That ought to put some burn in your head!
Let him get the cold or sniffles, out came that terrible shit....LOL too funny. I don't know if I Could bring myself to try a minty tobacco.
Frosty Mint is quite the experience.
I have to say that chances are 99% of people won't like it, the mid-bowl is a bit on the bitter side and the finish even more so (it's mostly just Burley otherwise), but if you're looking for an adventure in a pipe this will do the trick.

Different strokes for different folks; however, for me personally I would never consider trying a blend that features a minty flavor. I marvel at the excellent reviews this blend gets. I don't care if someone gave me a cheap chinese cob to smoke it from...I just couldn't bring myself to smoke this stuff.
I enjoy a menthol cig every once in a while as a change of pace.
I couldn't see myself buying Frosty Mint, but if I had some around, I'd surely try it. I could see this idea being appealing for someone who is taking up the pipe from menthol cigarettes.

When I used to smoke cigarettes I hated menthol ones until I met Parliament Hybrid. It is a regular cigarette with a "play button" on the filter. Once squeezed it will release a liquid and turn the regular cigarette into a menthol one. I was usually smoking it as a regular one and towards the end I was squeezing the button, the menthol taste was clearing the smell from my mouth making it and my breathe smell better. It was one of the best cigarettes I have ever smoked. But I guess, I will never want to smoke a menthol pipe tobacco as I love the flavor of Virginias, Latakias, etc in my mouth.
I've always wondered about the Gawith, Hoggarth, & Co. Kendal Dark Menthol. A shag cut of dark-fired African leaf should pack a nic-punch, but the addition of Menthol is... intriguing.

I started with menthol cigarettes. I was still mostly smoking menthol cigarettes when I started up with the pipe. One aspect I miss about them is my that annual hay fever symptoms were somewhat alleviated by French-inhaling that smooth, creamy mentholated smoke.
