Tips for Keeping a Pipe Lit
To echo others, and being a beginner as well, I have noticed that the dryer the tobacco is the better. I have also found that packing looser than I think I need to greatly reduces relights. When all else fails I’m coming to realize a few relights isn’t the end of the world.- Swampfox

That’s a good point. I imagine it’s been there a minute as the shop specializes in cigars, but I will ask. As to your second point, TAD is quickly taking hold…….- Swampfox

Tobacco Taste
Quick update: Stopped by a local shop and tried some Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bulls Eye Flake. I had my first aha moment. I love this tobacco. First blend that grabbed hold from jar note to finish of bowl and never let go. Sooooooo good imo.- Swampfox

Tobacco Taste
I’m not sure why, but I really want to try Half and Half as well as Sir Walter Raleigh. Not sure why but Prince Andrew just doesn’t sound appealing………. But serious about first two.- Swampfox

Tobacco Taste
Thank you guys for the replies and suggestions. I try some classics along with “newer” blends. I’m sure classic blends have to be doing something right to still be around. I look forward to slowly trying all sorts of tobacco. My original post was intended to see if I could take an educated guess...- Swampfox

Tobacco Taste
Mail finally showed! Trying Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fire as I type. I’m enjoying it more than my aromatics. There are definitely different multiple flavors coming in and out, and very nice spice. I’m getting the campfire taste but also some chocolate now and then as well as dried fruit flavor...- Swampfox

Cob Love…Yes Please! ? 11/30/21
If forced to choose, I would pick that cob over every pipe I own save one. It smokes so cool and is extremely comfortable. Plus for a newb I never have to relight it!- Swampfox

Tobacco Taste
I saw this in your other thread and can follow the train of thought. From my limited understanding Perique and Latakia are wild cards in terms of love hate. It makes sense to try them separately to start with as you say. If the mail would only hurry I will give you a report.- Swampfox

Tobacco Taste
Interesting. The reason I asked to start was that I smoke cigars from time to time and there seems to be some correlation to general palate tastes and cigar preferences. I don’t mind doing lots of sampling but was hoping to avoid duds as much as possible. Honestly the more I read reviews, the...- Swampfox

Tobacco Taste
This is a wonderfully simple idea that had not occurred to me ( forest for the trees)! I think my next purchase will be some Amphora. I will take your advice and sample from the different basic categories in their line. That would be a great starting/reference point. Thanks!- Swampfox

Smoking unfinished bowl next day (or two)
I do this quite often. As others have mentioned, schedules vary and life happens. I have noticed that for me the fuller the bowl is the next day the better it tastes and sometimes it isn’t worth it.- Swampfox
