    Tobacco Taste !

    Ok this is to all of you that have contributed to my post, Thank you for your respons, you have given great advice and I can now let you know having smoked English type tobacco there is no “ Ash tray taste” so it might be the topping / casing/ preservative in the aromatic blends that don’t suit...

    Tobacco Taste !

    Thank you, yes only one pipe a day possibly two in a week so very casual, at $125 / 50g it could get expensive otherwise. I vac pac the tobacco in between to stop it drying out. I will up the consumption to see how it goes.

    Yes generally, I have tried Skiff after deep clean and the same result, it’s difficult to get a choice of tobacco here in Perth WA as true tobacconist dont exist I have to get it on line from over east.

    Tobacco Taste !

    Yes and going up another 3% it goes up twice a year it’s the government tax, 6 years ago it was $50 for 50g, you know the tobacconist on line are not allowed to show photos of the pipes they sell only descriptions yet they can show the bongs you smoke drugs in!! It’s ridiculous.
