Back to the Pipe

[flippinbird87]

Hey everyone! I haven't been on this site for a while because I gave up on pipes last July in favor for the deadly nails (I know it's BLASPHEMY!) and nasal snuff. I don't know why I gave up the pipe since I now enjoy it immensely. Anyways, I am looking for a tobacco that produces a thick cloud of smoke and a mid-high nicotine content to get me through the day without resorting to the coffin nails. Right now I have H&H's Classic Burley Kake and AJ's Va-Per. I haven't revisited my Va-Per yet but from what I remember, I liked it. And the Burley Kake is a great smoke. Suggestions are extremely appreciated!

Cheers!

Daughters & Ryan produce some tobaccos that I would call transitional for a cigarette smoker. You might want

to browse their tin descriptions to find something that appeals to you. My comments and impressions are based

on their SJ Rimboché (a VaPer) and Picayune (strong nicotine punch, best in a coffee-break sized pipe).

I used to order from D&R when it was legal to buy rolling tobacco. I didn't realize they transitioned to pipe tobacco. Is it more like "pipe" tobacco or real pipe tobacco? You know as in the pipe tobacco that's really ryo.

This morning I smoked a bowl of aj's va-per. This is the type of tobacco I was thinking about. I like the sweet spicy flavor and the nic content. I think I will have to try other va-per blends. I might have to give sj rimboche a go. (By the way, how do I fix the title? I just realized I didn't capitaize it right. Sorry.)

Most ex cigarette smokers gravitate to VaPers and VaPer hybrids. I know I have.

I appreciate all of your suggestions! My next order (or purchase at the St. Louis Pipe Show on Saturday) will include a variety of Va/Per blends. This forum is a great place to find help with anything one needs to enjoy the briar!
