Kinda like myo cigarette baccy , Dudly can vouch . Thought you was gonna try a couple of the Wallgreens blends or PA . Some of the blends mentioned here are well an aquired taste , that is to say they are hard to aquire unless you go online . peace
The Largo was the first tobacco I bought, which was a week ago, and I thought it too tasted an awful lot like cigarette tobacco, that's why Ima gonna get me some PA next time I drop by the drug store in town. What is the main difference going to be when I get some legitimate tobacco?
Looking at it online it looks like one of the RYO brands that was re cut to get around the huge tax.
It should smell and taste a whole lot better and it will burn longer , You might want to let it dry say 20min or so before loading your pipe .Make a game out of it see how long you can smoke one bowl and please do not inhale into the lungs if you can help it . Learn to enjoy your pipe and the relaxation that it brings .The world is fast enough enjoying a pipe should slow it down . peace
Thanks igloo, and trust me, I don't inhale, it's just nasty and I can't stand the buzz, I'd rather just have a scotch.
Ok let us all know what you try and if you like something . We can make recomendations based on that .

About a year ago the SCHIP tax passed raising the tax on roll your own tobacco by over 2000% (not a typo). So, many makers of cigarette blends recut their their tobacco to a slightly larger ribbon cut and began to market it as pipe tobacco which is (knock on wood) taxed at a lower rate.
I smoke "pipe" tobacco in cigarettes every day. (D&R Ryback Gold mostly).
Most repackaged cigarette tobacco comes in some sort of a ziplock plastic bag in quantities of 6,8,14,or 16 ozs.
So Largo tastes like a cigarette because it's a cigarette blend. Doesn't mean it's necessarily lost quality tobacco but it's usually Burley, VA, and some type of Turkish/Oriental. Most then have a topping (flavoring agent) added to give it classic American cigarette taste (almost always some variation of red wine flavoring to my nose)
Probably not overly rewarding in a pipe but it won't kill ya. Tobacco is tobacco. You might think about picking up some Prince Albert or another drugstore pipe blend and mixing it with the Largo to get rid of it.
More information including a list of known brands here.
You'll not a couple traditional pipe blends like Haunted Bookshop on the list. Haunted Bookshop makes a tasty cigarette!

This is not pipe tobacco; it is roll-your own cigarette tobacco, and it just raped my briar and made me physically ill. It goes to show, if you're ever far from your tobacconist and you've never heard of the tobacco, don't buy it! Upon opening it, I could tell from texture and odour that I'd been had, and, it being opened, the store clerk wouldn't take it back. Well, cigarettes are really that bad, are they? No, cheap roll-your-own prison cigarettes generally are bad. If it's your thing, though, and you're anywhere near Western Massachusetts, I'll gladly give you a pound of it in exchange for 3 oz. of Captain Black Regular. Now pardon me while I go either vomit or use more Listerine to get that stale, peppery taste out of my mouth.
It tastes cruddy, and it don't don't have much nicotine. In short I wouldn't by it and FYI it a generic brand of TOP rolling tobbaco. When I was smoking it at a party people said it smelled like I was smoking literal "shit"
