Hello from California

[anotherbob]

Really new to pipe smoking. Started april 2024. smoked cigarettes for 10-ish years, then went to vaping. Still trying to find a blend i like. I've bought maybe 30 tins and many samplers and so far, nothing is catching my attention. ive tried aromatics, virginias, burleys, vaprs...though i am gonna finish every tin i have and hopefully have a better palate. crossing my fingers!

hi in my opinion you'll get more out of time and experience then you will from trying every single blend. One thing that helps with palate is sitting with a blend for a while. Just my opinion though.

Welcome from Chattanooga! Best thing to do is keep sampling till you find it. Once you stumble upon it, a whole new world opens! Cheers!

I read an old pipe booklet that suggested sticking with a blend and not do much "pouch hopping". In other words give yourself and pipe a good chance to really get to know the tobacco. You have a really great collection. Cult Red Moon is a really good non-biting Cherry. Have fun.

This is awesome! Welcome from a 3month new guy - and someone who also has PAD and TAD like you.
