Hi my name is Hector F, smoking pipes for 20 years now but lately taking it more serious and often, time to get real expert. I own 17 pipes including couple of meerschaums.

I will be more than happy to learn and share my own experiences.

Cool smokes everyone.

Welcome, Hector! Are there any Mexican pipe tobacco blends?

Hi! Yes they are some, thou I have not smoke them in long time. Most of our tobacco production comes from an estate next to the Golf of Mexico, Veracruz, for cigars and pipe. I do not know nobody else in person who smokes pipe as they are not too many pipe smokers.

The classic blends we have are some maple tobacco which is nice, and also some rum tobacco. They have come with some new blends (if you can finde them) and I tried the "natural" which seems straight Virginia cut too fine and burns too hot. Two bowls already but I did not like it too much.
In general we don't have the market for the tobacco connoisseurs there unfortunately. But if you ever try the mapple or the rum tobacco are worth it for curiosity. Sold in "Sanborns" stores only.

Welcome from Arizona! You mentioned one place where tobacco is grown, in Veracruz. Do you know if that is where San Andres cigar tobacco comes from? I love San Andres wrappers on cigars.

Hello ! and thank you, yes it is the same town, San Andres Tuxtla, south of the state of Veracruz, just look it up in you tube, the landscapes are nice. where climate is very varied and rain forest starts in the south of Mexico (only rain forest in the planet in the northern hemisphere).
I love those wrappers in cigars too, they have sometimes some saltiness and spiciness when are not totally "maduros". The brand "Te amo" is the most well known, but also "A. Turrent" and others.
