Hello everyone,
I am just starting on my piping journey. Is there someone who makes a blend that tastes like carrot cake? Let me know if you have come across one. Thanks.
Welcome Flyover. I just started in November (I think), but time flies. As a recent newby I hope I can offer a few pointers.
1) These guys are super nice with great advice and some will joke and poke fun. It’s all good. Enjoy the fun and adventure.
2) Go after whatever you like including carrot cake. Heck they make a bacon and syrup, and a Peanut Butter flavor.
3) Aro’s are great and smell terrific but the flavors are very subtle. I was disappointed more than not because I expected strong flavor. Vapor pipes offer more flavoring but are full of bad chemicals.
4) Consider 1oz bulks and matches to save some money. Don’t spend $15 on 1 tin that you don’t know if you like. For example I love Big Ben (London Match) which is English blend. $2.48 an oz.
5) TobaccoReviews.com is very helpful as well as reviews on the sellers websites. Read the negative reviews as much as the good ones.
Don’t get discouraged. Study up on smoking cadence, packing, tamping, blends, etc. Enjoy!!
