    Purchasing dilemma...

    Man. Having recently started with a pipe and buying a decent sized cellar off the bat because I was going to live somewhere with a 50% tax; I'd say branch out and get maybe 6-8 tins of English type blends(split between eng, balkan, american or whatever interests you), 6-8 tins of Virginia mixes...

    80+ Tobacco Sampler; Help Develop My Palette

    Eh it's the basic/beginner section, so seems somewhat on topic still to me.

    Yeah a lot of it was for ideas about data analytics for fun, but now that I'm using it a bit they really don't seem worth the effort an I haven't been using them at all.

    80+ Tobacco Sampler; Help Develop My Palette

    A fellow SCUBA Diver! Yeah I'm all over that one, and I've actually read a good few of your posts and appreciated them. I moved everything over to excel and I've got individual tabs also setup to get into more detail about the blends. In that area is a section of just notes like you're...

    80+ Tobacco Sampler; Help Develop My Palette

    Ahh I follow now man. I wasn't too sure how to interpret the mental masturbation part to be honest, kind of thought it was directed to my wanting to make the spreadsheet. But yeah, I'm all over what you suggested, I've got a few tins for now of VA, VaPer, and Burley, VaBur to kind of get my...

    80+ Tobacco Sampler; Help Develop My Palette

    Yeah, that's kind of half my intent if I stick with it. Like you're saying, ideally I could have it mostly populated and then if a bunch of pipers wanted to just fill it out to their preferences it could then build into a suggestion list. Then as the newer pipers start to use it and fill it...

    80+ Tobacco Sampler; Help Develop My Palette

    Ha yeah I dunno man maybe Amphora Virginia is a pretty easy blend to start with, but I've been just fine with it. Maybe 3 or 4 relights for a bowl smoking to dottle unless I was socializing while doing it, in which case I could barely keep the dang thing going. About to start on some Capstan...

    80+ Tobacco Sampler; Help Develop My Palette

    Yeah, the spreadsheet is neat and I'm glad I have it. Realistically now it's kind of needing to transform into something more individualized to track the way I want to think about tobaccos and what not. I'm glad I put in the groundwork of putting it together but we'll see how much it actually...

    Wait, so masturbation is work to you? Or am I not understanding the meaning of mental masturbation.

    80+ Tobacco Sampler; Help Develop My Palette

    I'll be honest I'm kind of with you on that. It's more of a perfect storm situation. Because I'm somewhere the availability/price of pipe tobacco isn't particularly good, I'm not going to be smoking for another 2ish weeks. If I was sitting in the US right now I would've just ordered stuff and...

    80+ Tobacco Sampler; Help Develop My Palette

    I took @Pipeh recommendations and built a Tobacco specific tab that will eventually feed into the main one. There should be a way where I can get the weather data to auto-populate. This isn't gonna be for every bowl. Just like hey that was a good one or I've been smoking this blend for a bit...

    I worked in Command and Control for a bit... I think it's had a lasting effect lol

    80+ Tobacco Sampler; Help Develop My Palette

    Ah man, I 100% get what you're saying. I think the other part of this is that I'm gonna use the samples to guide my purchases, not to gauge the blend itself. So I've got a handful of tins of VAs coming to start and then after those, I'll try some of the VA samples and decide which tins to...

    80+ Tobacco Sampler; Help Develop My Palette

    I hear ya. I guess that's kind of what I'm planning on doing. I've got a few tins of straght VAs that seen highly recommended, then I'm gonna try the VAs in the sampler. I'll make sure I do that for the other blends too.

    Hey guys appreciate the feed back so far, but I'm not sure some of you are looking at the spreadsheet. That first picture was just an example of how to adjust the columns if you look at it.

    Hi from Thailand

    Man, I'm originally from New York and miss the fall and winter so much. And man go figure I'm heading back to the state with the highest excise tax in the country, Colorado.
