    Mixing Mac Baren Vanilla with other tobaccos

    I've found the Mac Baren Vanilla Loose Cut to be a nice basic vanilla for me. I recently added a touch of rubbed out Irish Flake to a pipeful of MB.

    My first two pipes (Medico, Venini)

    Hi, I wanted to give a report my trip to pipe world and ask for recommendations for some pipe tobacco that I should try next. Out of boredom and curiosity, I wanted to try pipe smoking. I hate cigarettes, so this is kind of a weird thing for me. Nevertheless, I acquired some info on pipes and...
