Wow. Which is your favorite? (Sorry I give the same answer parents are supposed to when I get that question about pipes.)
I got really into cigar smoking 3 years ago, and learned a lot, but now my interests are turning hard to the world of pipes. Fueling this is a buddy’s stash of sealed tins from late 90’s/early 00’s that he inherited from a friend and are essentially at my disposal. Hundreds of tins. So I’ve got some pretty good stuff that I have not near enough skill to appreciate. My hope is to learn what I enjoy, and compare my lame rookie reviews to what others are saying about the same blends.
Experience helps with that. Also everyone will say slow down. I say sipping is a better way to go then focusing on rhythm. Basically instead of thinking of pulling smoke think of gently tending the ember.

Then, begin collecting and cellaring for the future. Looking forward to being on here!
You do know there is going to be a lot of gentle pressure aimed at persuading you to grow at least a little tobacco.
