Planning return to piping with a change in direction.
Codgers have there place for a reason. Easy packing, easy lighting, good flavor, and few complications. Pretty readily available too. Makes them classic smokes that stand the test of time. Sure, old timers love them but I think most beginners also do well to start off with them for the above...- Dr Drago

Praise for Peretti
I enjoy Tashkent as well. It’s their only blend I’ve tried. Any other recommendations? I love burley and I hear good things of their burley mixtures.- Dr Drago

Mac Baren Mixture Scottish Blend
I agree, this blend has the perfect amount of Kentucky in it for the components. Creates a great warm smokiness that mixes perfectly with the sweetness of those honey kissed VAs. Absolutely love this one. Surprisingly, it's never bit me neither.- Dr Drago

Sweetest Aro
Old Toby sure is great for a sweet tooth! I find it much better than Molto Dulce but can still only have it every once in a while.- Dr Drago

Occasional pipe smoking with canker sores
If you get them frequently, keep these two products around: Kanka (coats the ulcer and greatly reduces pain) Peroxyl (promotes healing)- Dr Drago

Smoking with an injury in the mouth?
100% true. To add, all these things I mentioned earlier are merely the short term consequences and pricey/painful inconveniences. Far, far more damaging are allowing delayed healing and inflammation/infection to persist and become chronic, resulting in changes at a cellular level. Brothers...- Dr Drago

Smoking with an injury in the mouth?
For recent or upcoming oral surgery, as well as any existing oral infections, it is certainly recommended to abstain from smoking or any type until healed. The blood flow, healing, pH balance, and protective factors are all disrupted by smoke and the vasoconstrictive effects of nicotine. I’ve...- Dr Drago

Kendal Cream Flake by Samuel Gawith
I was recently enjoying a bowl of KC Flake and laughing at this thread! I've struggled to describe what it is about this blend that I enjoy so much but the tin note description of freshly opened Marlboro Reds is spot on for me too 😄 Regardless, it's an absolutely tremendous smoke! Creamy...- Dr Drago

Best Retrohale
I agree. I retro about every puff to some degree. And if I intentionally alter my puffing to not do so, I enjoy it far less. It feels immediately muted. My sinuses are where the bulk of flavor is detected.- Dr Drago

About those Nirvana/Ultimate smokes…
Well done. You’ve reminded me of many reflective moments I’ve had with my Reds back in the day. I have plenty of books that still smell like them, lol. I break them out and it instantly takes me thirty years back.- Dr Drago

About those Nirvana/Ultimate smokes…
Thank you all for your replies. This thread gave me some insight I was seeking. I wasn’t aware that there are folks out there that have quite the transcendental enjoyment that I experience with pipe smoking from cigars, snus, chew, or what have you… That was actually my question, because I...- Dr Drago
