As yet named blending from Ted's Tulsa. I asked for an aromatic surprise me kind of deal. The ? is what I got. It's pretty good.
Pipe is an Iwan Ries opera job...tiny thing smokes like a dream. Concentrates all things big time.
Don't do what I did...buy a pricey pipe first purchase and then promptly burn it out on day 2. So after that I bought some MM's and learned how to smoke to them. After some time I learned what I wanted and bought some estate pipes. Take your time.
I've been at this a couple of years now and I have about 20 Edward's pipes I bought as estates off of ebay for like $20 bucks each. I currently have about a half pound + of house blends from my local tobacco store - Ted's Tulsa...a quarter mile from my house. Smoking bliss.
Just get a pipe...
This is exactly what I do also. Every month or two I use a little Everclear on a pipe cleaner and a paper towel soaked with the stuff in the bowl overnight.
