    Getting back into Pipes - my "Newbie Trial Selection"

    I am kinda in the same boat. I get a tongue burn or just a bad taste in my mouth. I get this from mild aromatics (mb vanilla roll cake, dublone d oro, Lane RLP, EGR). Doesn't make sense. I can handle an english ok and a filter helps. I'm thinking I should stay on one tobacco for a weeks...

    Are Burley Smokers a Breed?

    OK, I just tried C&D #2 Burley flake and 8 states. I now know what a Burley is. My palate is not sofisticated enough to say "earthy tones with mild citrus and nutty ... " I'm just not there. I taste dirt. Thats what it tastes like. Having said that, I like Laguvulan Scotch and it taste...

    Drucquer & Sons, Loch Ness, April 8th Release Date

    I hit the link and read about all the various blends. I am truly captivated. I want to try every one. Thanks for the post. Wish I could buy them all. Wife would kill me. I've been bad lately. Hey, if I end up in the dog house it might be a great place to enjoy my pipe in peace. I always...

    Classic Bicycle Restoration Project

    I love what you chose to restore. Better quality than whats new out there. OK, gotta dust mine off and get on it. Riding is for my free time and my shiny green Vespa usually gets the nod. My fat body needs the bicycle.

    Advantages of Factory Pipes

    Boswell pipes are artisan and their prices are great for artisan. Anywhere from 150- 500 with most in the middle. I also love factory pipes. I'd like to get a fine fun example from each major player. I LOVE my Petersen System Ebony. Black shiny smooth and beautiful. I want an Irish pipe...

    Regular Rotation?

    I like Capstan Blue and there are MANY that are OK and some I dislike like EGR. Jury is out on Granger. I don't dislike it but I don't crave it. Need to try it more until it moves me one way or the other.

    What Blend do You Hate?

    OK, some hates or dislikes are getting tossed or given away. Some get jarred until the taste or person tasting change then they are OK or Great. I have a few disagreeable tins. I'll probably try them out again every other month. They smell great. How long can I leave it n the tin or can...

    Regular Rotation?

    I expect to become like you with a group of favorites. I'm currently in the early stages of finding what I like. It seems its much much easier to find what I don't like. Almost everything smells great. Right now my only true like is Capstan Blue. I'm deep diving Boswells Best and Lane RLP 6.

    Are Burley Smokers a Breed?

    I'll take your advice and try C&D #2. I'll also try 8 states Burley. Its on order. Wanted to try the Solani Burley but couldn't find any. These two should let me do a good comparison with the Capstan Blue Virginia. Thanks for the help!
