Help Me Solve A Pipe Mystery!
Update: Tried Backwoods Buttered Rum, and Backwoods original. The Buttered Rum wasn't too far off from that scent I remembered, but a bit more on the sweet side (missing that incense-like component). Both varieties were really just a nice, old-timey aromatic pipe smell. And that's probably...- GothPiper

Help Me Solve A Pipe Mystery!
Update: I've gone ahead and ordered some Backwoods Buttered Rum, as well as original Backwoods (which one reviewer described as "incense-like", so that's a possibility as well), and some Velvet just for the heck of it since I haven't tried this classic. I do wonder about original Backwoods...- GothPiper

Totally possible. Who knows: maybe the pouch I saw was a leather tobacco pouch and not a commercially branded one.- GothPiper

I mean, it wasn't CB White (tried that), not Black (Lane BCA is similar to this), not Royal (too similar to 1Q). I guess that leaves Gold, but I believe that's yet another vanilla Cavendish. And I'm pretty sure it wasn't CB grape 🤣- GothPiper

Sadly, I can't recall anything about what the pouch looked like. Good idea about searching for those terms on tobacco reviews.- GothPiper

Quite true, and excellent observation! However, I did smell a very similar smell outside a club, with no pipes in sight. Fairly recently, in fact. I do suspect Backwoods Buttered Rum because I know they also make cigars widely available in gas stations & convenience stores.- GothPiper

I have. That isn't the scent (though I do enjoy it).- GothPiper

Honestly, that's my #1 suspect at this point. Heck, I suppose it's not a very expensive prospect to try it out.- GothPiper

Possible - I haven't tried those. But would that have been available to the average person in NYC at the time?- GothPiper

Definitely not the culprit, alas. I've tried PA many times and it wasn't that.- GothPiper

I've tried Super Value Bourbon Whiskey, which I've heard is similar to Borkum Riff and that definitely wasn't anything like that smell.- GothPiper

Help Me Solve A Pipe Mystery!
The first time I ever smelled a pipe was when I was a kid. My grade school janitor smoked one, and the wonderful aroma is burned into my brain. The problem is: now even as an experienced smoker, I've never smelled a blend quite like it! Here's some basic info/clues: 1. This was in the New York...- GothPiper
