New pipe smoker, about 8 months and I really enjoy it. Found that I am a Latakia lover, it is indeed delicious when I smell it and smoking it is even better. Again, I seek advise from the learned members of the forum on what tobacco you would choose for the occasion.
In less than 2 weeks I am going camping for 5 days in the Canadian Rockies, in the North end of Banff National Park. Surrounded by mountains, thousands of pine trees, I will be only about 100' from a glacier fed river, nestled in a tent and could have the odd black bear wander by my site. Have been there many times before and the wife and I really enjoy camping there. I chop lots of firewood as it gets cold in the mountains at night and I need the fire burning well so that I can watch the stars, enjoy the peace and quiet while I drink my rum or bourbon and contemplate the beauty before my eyes. For the first time, I will be smoking my pipe every morning while I drink some hot coffee waiting for the sun to peek over the mountain top, during the quiet of the afternoon, and again at night enjoying my favourite cocktail watching the stars.
I hope to have some EMP and NCP for my camping trip, but not sure if I will have it in time. As a back up I am thinking of maybe picking up some Frog Morton, not sure which one, from a kinda local tobacconist.
This got me to wonder what forum members think would be a good choice for a tobacco to smoke when I get up in the morning, enjoying a coffee while I sit by the fire, and a different one for late night by the fire as well in fresh, crisp mountain air. Looking forward to seeing all of your replies and trying out some great pipe tobacco.
