Being a tobacco user for a few decades, I decided to give the pipe another go at it. I had a few of my older drug store pipes and bought a MM cob pipe. Again, I tried blends from the jars at the local "head-shop." The tongue bite and aftertaste was the same as previous attempts. I did some reading here and other sites, which led me to ordering a quality pipe and a few tins of premium tobacco. For a pipe I bought a Danbark. For my tobacco choices, I decided on Davidhoff's Danish blend, Peterson's Perfect Plug, and Dunhill's Ready Rubbed. The Dunhill was a fantastic smoke in the Danbark. I couldn't believe the difference in the quality of the tobacco, which led to a very relaxing, enjoyable smoking experience. The cost of the premium tobacco is minimal, but the quality is definitely noticeable. My advice to new pipe smokers, get yourself the better tobaccos and pipes. I find myself now looking forward to my pipe and I'm excited to have so many different quality tobaccos to try.
