Hello Everyone, my name is Chris and I live in Northern Virginia. I am a weekend cigar smoker and hobbiest. I started to smoke pipes in order to convince my wife that pipe tobacco is a great smell. I am slowly winning her over with the aromas, but I still need to learn more about pipes and the best flavored tobacco. I hope to learn more about this great past time.

Thank you for response.....
Wow... ok I have never heard of most of these, which is a good things and I am assuming the best place to get them would be online. I have not been able to find a local B&M to purchase from in the DC area. There are a lot of cigar places, just none of them carry tobacco for pipes.
Be Welcome Sir, there are two pretty bold tastings' semi- (pseudo)Aromatics on the market that ever pipesmoker need to try at least once, Erinmore Flake and Amphora Red Full Aroma, Both are tobacco forward blends being far from goopy light stuff
most should be available at smokingpipes.com, pipesandcigars.com, or tobaccopipes.com. The Boswell's stuff you can buy directly from boswell's pipes online as well. They make tons of aromatics with great room notes.
The one exception is the Nording, that one may be tougher to find since it was manufactured by McClelland's, who are no longer in business.
Chris, I’m also a Northern Virginian. There’s two places I can recommend. First is in Loudoun Co. called “Leesburg Cigar and Pipe” pretty good selection there and friendly staff. Next place is in Georgetown, DC called “Georgetown Tobacco” great selection of pipes and tobaccos and the owners a great guy and full of knowledge. If you catch him walking around definitely chat him up. There’s also some regulars there that have been smoking pipes for a long time that you can talk to too if you have any questions.
Hello, Chris in northern Virginia.
My hatchling years were spent in Baltimore and my parents spent their honeymoon on Skyline Drive.
So, every summer, we were loaded into the station wagon and drug across that 105 mile scenic stretch at 35 mph.
I didn't appreciate it so much then bu would love to be there right now.

Welcome from Western Canada. One good source of information regarding the room note of different blends is tobaccoreviews.com
Welcome from Florida. Heading to DC tomorrow. I’ll have to look up those tobacco shops TG51 mentioned.
Welcome from Hagerstown, MD. I work in the NOVA area.
tg51 gives good advice on the shops. If you don't mind a drive, in Winchester VA, JB Hayes has a lot of pipe tobacco options.
Theres a shop in the Kingstowne area where some pipe smokers hangout on Saturdays (name escapes me).

Hey! Welcome aboard from D.C.! There is another shop here not far from the capital called “W.Curtis Draper” they’ve usually got a great selection of bulk aromatics and plenty of pipes and pipe gear, great place!
There is also a place in Old Town Alexandria, called John Crouch. (That I think another member, Jay? told me about) they’ve got a good selection of their own blends and few tins.
Otherwise Georgetown Tobacco is a great shop they are very knowledgable and deffo a +1 for them from me!
Good luck on your quest and happy smoking!
