I have been wondering why pipe smokers seem to be opposed to Black and Mild cigars. I have bought them over the years as a change of pace from cigarettes.. I was smoking one slowly about a year ago and a light bulb went off, like wow this is really good. I liked that note I had found so much it made me realize maybe I don't have to smoke cigarettes at all ever.. Hey I might live after all haha. The truth is they are just as expensive as the best pipe tobacco, 6 bucks for a 5 pack that might last all day. That's what brought me around to this hobby. I've been on the search for a pipe tobacco that is close to them in flavor, during that search I see that they don't get much love from the pipe community. To me it is worth a thread to discuss why the number one selling cigar in the U.S. gets no love from pipe smokers. Black and Mild also happens to describe its cigars as a pipe tobacco cigar, and belong to the makers of PA and CH.. which both have some loyalty in this community. A lot of you guys enjoy both pipes and cigars. Just interested in how you guys feel about this oddity? and I would also appreciate any suggestions on my search for that flavor.
