    Query on Aromatics Tasting or Smelling Bad

    So it isn’t just us. I found a jar of old Lane 1Q under the back seat of my truck 2 days ago. I opened the jar, and the aroma was as pleasant as I remembered. I opened my jar of the newer stuff, and the smell was weak by comparison. I smoked a bowl of the old Lane 1Q, and it was the best smoke...

    Query on Aromatics Tasting or Smelling Bad

    Well, I’ve tried thoroughly cleaning my pipes, but the Cherry Jubilee didn’t get any better. I wrote another email to C&D, and just got a response yesterday. Jeremy Reeves said he had been traveling, but will look into it when he gets back.

    Could be...I would like to try some of the cellared versions to compare. As far as smoking other versions, I had been pretty much sticking to 2 different cherry ones, Lane 1Q, and RLP6 because the family used to like the smell. I didn’t really start branching out again until these started...

    Let me know if that helps. Lane 1Q is still decent, but it doesn’t taste or smell quite as good as it used to to me either.

    Sorry, it was just a change I noticed. I had asked C&D about it and if I should try to humidify it a little more - ideal moisture levels, etc. I’ll try to email them again. The first email chain probably slipped through the cracks.

    Query on Aromatics Tasting or Smelling Bad

    F Fair enough. I only can speak about my experience, those of a few other pipe smokers I’ve met, and those around me. Maybe our experience is unique, so we will see if anyone on here has had a similar one. As I mentioned, the Cherry Jubilee has been pretty dry the last couple times. Not quite...

    All of the last batches of the Cherry Jubilee have been fairly dry as well.

    Worth a shot. No one from C&D was impolite, just stopped responding.

    Query on Aromatics Tasting or Smelling Bad

    I can give my pipes a good cleaning and find out. Should I be using anything to clean out the inside of the pipe stem instead of just running a pipe cleaner through?

    Query on Aromatics Tasting or Smelling Bad

    Life has been about the same, but it’s possible something has changed my palette. A few tobaccos still taste the same, so I thought I could rule out that option, but you may be right.

    Query on Aromatics Tasting or Smelling Bad

    Title edited for caps and brevity. Original: "Is it just me or has anyone else noticed aromatics starting to taste and smell bad?" Greetings fellow pipe smokers. Has anyone noticed a change in the aromatic tobaccos over the last year? For example, one of my favorite aromatic tobaccos used to...
