    Planning return to piping with a change in direction.

    Interesting discovery. I stopped at the local shop again and was allowed to sample some other blends. I tried a straight red Virginia, a cube cut Burley, and another blend that I think had Virginia, Burley, Cavendish, and maybe a bit of Oriental. I left with 2 ounces of Burley and realized that...

    Planning return to piping with a change in direction.

    Looking for one more recommendation for now. I would like to try something with Oriental in it but not in English. It's not that I didn't care for the Latakia that was in the voodoo Queen, but I didn't particularly enjoy waking up this morning with it still tasting strongly in my mouth despite...

    Planning return to piping with a change in direction.

    I think that I'd like to find a vapr that didn't have any more perique in it than the haunted bookshop has in it. Just though to add interest. On paper, red and maybe dark virginias are what I think that I'm looking for in a Virginia. I like the dark fruit and molasses type flavor a lot. Citrus...

    Planning return to piping with a change in direction.

    Of the 3 that I picked up, I easily enjoy the Haunted Bookstore the most. I suppose that I'm picking up pepper from the perique but it seems to be well balanced with the rest of the blend. The Stokkebye Luxury flake isn't nearly as interesting but it isn't unpleasant either. Boring? Maybe. But...

    Ok, I went to a local shop and went with what was available in bulk. I got an ounce of each of the following: Stokkebye Luxury Twist flake (omg, this smelled SOOO good in the jar!) Haunted Bookshop (also smelled really good!) Voodoo Queen English

    Planning return to piping with a change in direction.

    Regarding the bulk stuff, If I go to a local shop, they're going to have a whole bunch of random names on their bulk stuff that won't really let me know what it is that they're giving me and they like to be secretive about that stuff. I suppose I could order through somebody's site. That is an...

    Planning return to piping with a change in direction.

    Hello. I took up piping for a short period of time a handful of years ago and really only got around to trying some aromatics which never tasted nearly as good as they smelled and tended to burn my tongue. Now that I'm considering a return, my focus is going to be non aromatics. I have gone...
