Greetings all:
I'm happy to announce that Greg Pease will host our October Tobacco Crawl. Greg is the creator of the popular, eponymous G.L. Pease blends and is a contributor to Pipes Magazine. Greg is also looking into arranging a discounted bundle of the selected blends.
FYI, a tobacco crawl is similar to a pub crawl or a virtual pipe club meeting. The purpose of the crawl is to develop a discerning palate for pipe tobaccos by smoking different blends based on a theme. This year we have been inviting Master Blenders to host the crawl. The blender picks 4 tobaccos that crawl members smoke, one blend each week. Members and the host then share their opinions, reviews, comments.
Members usually smoke several bowls of the blend of the week. Most members smoke all 4 blends over the month but participants can smoke as many or as few of the sections as they wish. Some just drop in to discuss one of the monthly blends.
Participants are a mix of very new smokers and seasoned pipers that have smoked for decades. All are welcome.
I'll post details and start a new thread for the October crawl once I receive Greg's picks.
