Forum Folks: Thanks for Getting Me Out of My Rut

[mackeson]

For a few years, I've been stuck in a tobacco rut. Same blends (save trying the new GLP releases - I always follow that guy's work) over and over. Nothing wrong with that, I have some solid favorites I love and always will, but diversity is an enjoyable part of pipe smoking for me. Since joining this forum earlier this year, I've tried many new blends I see discussed.

To name a few I've tried this year and really enjoyed: Royal Yacht, Dark Flake Liquorice, recently Black Frigate, And several from the H&H line which is a completely new brand for me.

Thanks for the reviews, half witty comments, and even the over-the-top obsessiveness. You all have helped guide me in expanding my tobacco experiences.

Thank you as well, for participating. Forums is great for putting us onto new blends, and old ones almost forgotten. I always learn something new.

I shudder to think how narrow my tobacco experiences would be if not for this forum. I used to flip through the online stores and then check out blends that sounded good at tobaccoreviews.com, but it's just not quite the same. This forum introduced me to most of my favorite blends.

Royal Yacht

I see you are a personage of exquisite taste in tobacco. Well done!

Yea if it wasn't for you guys, I would probably be lost and with a scorched mouth, I have learned alot, and tasted lots of blends, from burley, areos to english, right now i favor the english blends, but prehaps my taste will change in the future.

I spent at least two months lurking in the Forums before I even put a match to my pipe. Every newbie question is constantly tackled with the widest input available. In fact I got here in the first place because every question about pipe smoking I had lead me here!

I'm well aware that my tobacco tastes are very narrow. However, I still enjoy reading about and looking at the pictures of other tobaccos knowing that I'll never buy them. :crazy:

Ya, I know what your saying, this place has cost me a lot of money too...

I got a pipe to avoid using paper. I smoked cheap RYO. My pipe was a drug store corn cob by MM of course.

Now? After having found this group?

I smoke more expensive RYO..heh heh....in more expensive corn cobs AND briar, meers, walnut, cherry wood pipes.

(more expensive RYO is a reference to my newly discovered treasures from D&R, which I smoke in a pipe, and isn't really RYO, but pipe tobacco masquerading as such.)

That's just what the pushers always say! :wink:

What pray is TAG? Yet another acronym to learn I suppose :roll:
