    Hello there everyone.. I'm still new to this. I've started my rotation of tobaccos and have noticed that while some taste better than others, there are those less tasty that give me a better feeling during (and after) smoking, than the tastier varieties. I initially wanted to smoke for taste...

    P&C's Pipe Tobacco Of The Month Club.. Worth Joining?

    I've been considering joining this club to get some different tobaccos, but was wondering if it was a good deal. Are any of you members, and, if so, have you been happy with the tobaccos that have been sent each month? Would you recommend joining?
