Beware of the Carter Hall Hype!

Carter Hall is always within reach. One of my favorite tobaccos.

I got a sample of this just yesterday. Yes, it is not the best in the world, but I WILL say that this is a very easy smoke and good for when you want to have a "simple" smoke. I think it is a good standby and would keep this on reserve for emergency. Pretty good tobacco to be OTC.
I think I will try blending some with other tobaccos as others have done. I love adventure!!! :nana:

I smoke Half&Half almost daily. No surprises in it but it is consistently what it is - a pretty good smoke.

Beware of the Carter Hall Hype!

I suppose any of the forum members could make a similar post. Just substitute any of the much talked about tobaccos for Carter Hall. When it comes to pipe tobacco, I like some and I dislike some. Doesn't mean any of them aren't good. Doesn't mean that the hard to find VA flake everyone is talking about is better or worse to me than any other tobacco. It does make for interesting conversation though. Without these conversations how would we share our enjoyment of this great hobby? If everyone liked the same tobacco, we wouldn't have nearly as much fun sharing our experiences. I like Carter Hall. I like Black House. I like 1Q. I like Frog Morton's Cellar. I like this hobby!

Well put Bob, I couldn't agree more: a healthy discussion stands at the core of this respectful brotherhood of the pipes. As such I felt obliged to produce a counterpoint to the overall resounding praise of Carter Hall that I could not follow. Hence this post.
