There is a direct correlation for me between hours spent in shopping for tobacco or reading reviews about blends and my tobacco purchases.
Now I just sit and smoke. I’ll visit online shops some other month
A pipe is like a coffee mug: can be tall, wide, short, etc. The caffeine is the same in the body.
But the shape does make a difference in the user experience!
However, I don’t think the shape will make a difference for the kind of tobacco.
Pipe cleaner after every smoke. Once in a long while, I use everclear or whiskey to wet the pipe cleaner and I run it through until it’s mostly clean coming out. If my pinky finger won’t fit in the bowl, then I ream it with a knife carefully.
I gravitated toward burley and dark fired Kentucky and Perique blends because I get tongue sensitivity right away with aromatics and bright Virginias.
Daughters and Ryan’s Two Timer is a great pure burley blend I always use as a base and then I add different tobaccos to it in a bowl before...
People repeat that one of the best things that makes Castello pipes unique is the very well cured briar m, at least 10 years.
That’s what I’m referring to. That’s what I posted about.
