I’ve been smoking a pipe for just under a month now. I smoke a few times a day, between 3-5 bowls. Currently sitting here puffing on a bowl of Newminster No. 400 Superior Navy Flake out of my new Willard Apple briar that I received in the mail today. I also have a few Missouri Meerschaum cobs: a straight Legend, and a bent Missouri Pride.
Newminster No. 400 was my first smoke, and thanks to a few YouTube videos I was able to smoke it and taste it properly and I just fell in love with Virginia flakes right away. I’ve almost exclusively smoked Virginia based flakes since I’ve started, only receiving my first English blend this week (Peterson’s Nightcap) which I enjoyed.
In addition I have some Molto Dolce (I really wanted some sweet tasting tobacco, just didn’t realize what I really wanted was naturally sweet like Newminster No. 400, not sweet smelling aromatic), I have some Sutliff Sweet Virginia ready rubbed, a pouch of Half & Half, Peter Stokkebye’s Luxury Navy, Twist, and Bullseye flakes, as well as some King Frog Morton On The Bayou (Bullseye showed me how much I love perique), and a few tins of Cornell & Diehl’s Carolina Red Flake ‘22.
Glad to be a member of this forum!
