Floral Pipe Tobacco?

[cosmicfolklore]

I want that on drugs in an aro pipe tobacco. lol

I... I thought I understood, but... now I am not sure, ha ha.

The use of floral in your request naturally leads to Lakeland suggestions. However, it appears that you do not favor such blends. You might try Cornell & Diehl Sun Bear in past iterations if you can find it or if it is produced in 2023. Also, Former private flake and any number of L.J. Peretti blends. for example Ampersand Flake has a bit of floral quality as does Boston's Best Cavendish. However, since you indicate an allergic reaction to Burley you may want to call Steve Willet at Peretti and ask for a suggestion. They blend a number burley mixtures which have a floral quality and he may be able to suggest a virginia blend that will better suit you. If you like English blends, their Crown is an English with a touch of aromatic floral light Lakeland.

Thanks!

I don't smoke infused cigars because most have a sweet tip I despise. I sometimes pick up a floral note in some cigars and have always enjoyed that note. When I switched to pipes I have no idea how strong and unique pipe tobacco was. Like Ive had a KFC but Latakia is way smokier! So I was thinking maybe there was a pipe tobacco that had a super strong floral note.

Rose petals in your bath? If you like that sort of thing, go for McConnell’s Red Roses.

You might like to try a few good Balkans. The combination of Orientals can give the tobacco an incense like aroma. Very nice at times. A good Balkan has almost a kaleidoscope of revolving flavors as you smoke, similar to the way a good cigar can. But, the tastes are not the same. Hearth and Home's White Knight is a good start. Also one that isn't as taxing on the tongue is GLP's Ashbury. But, with just pure tobaccos, you get flavors not usually associated with tobaccos. Very nice. I enjoy a good Balkan from time to time.
Don't let the unusual tin smell distract you though. It does not taste like it smells in the tin.

But, buyer be ware. There are a lot of Balkans tobaccos labelled as Balkans, but don't have any Orientals. There is no standardization amongst companies, so some of them are merely Virginias and latakia. I think the Balkan Flake is one that doesn't have the Orientals... I mean, latakia is an Oriental, but they don't have the ones that give it those wonderful incense-like flavors. So, check out labels and tobacco reviews.

Different strokes for different folks. I loves me some rose geranium from time to time, so pass the Revor plug and a lug of Gawith and Hoggarth. And gimme some camphor and apple cider vinegar, so let's smoke some St Bruno, which is ambrosia for the Gods!! I'm happy for those who hate them because it just means more for me.

And yet, the idea of a floral cigar makes me feel like hurling breakfast. Strange, very strange.

That's why I asked the questions... In a cigar the floral notes are very delicate but in most natural cigars. I mean, I can smoke a Lakeland, and do occasionally, no hate on them. But, I don't think that was what he was looking for. More like a bit of Turkish Virginia blend.

St Bruno certainly has some floral notes. I also think there are some beautiful floral notes in HH Burley Flake.

The one I liked was B.S. 759 I think it has Orientals. But thanks for the heads up I didn't know that.

I dont smoke infused cigars. I meant the more natural floral hint you get with some natural cigars.

In that case, everyone's suggestions except for Cosmic's are wrong; all but Cos' are for tobacco with scents sprayed on.

Well maybe not I do want more than a cigar ever offers. Like KFC is smokey but Latakia makes KFC seem weak. I want a blast to the face of fragrance not a mild hint that if I use my imagination I can taste and smell it.

Balkan Sobranie 759 was a truly magnificent smoke, and I preferred it over the Original Smoking Mixture. There's nothing exactly like it, though a few have their variations off of it, like Black House. One problem, and it's not an inconsiderable one, is that the type and quality of leaf that went into 759 no longer is available.

If you want a floral blast, Ennerdale is the strongest I know. Also up there is Gawith Hoggarth #7 Broken Flake and Bob's Square Cut. All these have burleys in them though. Sam Gawith Cannon Plug is also strongly floral and does not have burley in it.

That's interesting. You fill your pipe with Kentucky Fried Chicken? Original recipe or barbeque? Probably barbeque for the smokiness. How do you prepare the chicken before loading up a bowlful? Shredded or cube cut? Do you dry it before packing or is it straight from the bucket? Gravity feed? Do you tamp the chicken?

Also, Latakia Kentucky Fried Chicken is a new on on me. Next time I pass a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet I'll have to look into that.

I don't recall, I rarely ever get that note but always enjoy it when I do and it never last through out the cigar. It's always a brief moment, not even a whole 3rd.

Definitely shredded, and pro tip; if you dont finish the bowl, pack the top with a thin layer of mashed potatoes for no mess travel.
