Smoke and enjoy? ?I took a trip to the local B&M, and was trying to make up my mind. Sparked up a little conversation to get the advice of the proprietor, (a fine pipe smoking gentleman). This is what I came away with! Does anyone have any tips or tricks I should know about?

With either one you choose, if you don't like the first bowl, then had it and wait a while. You may find that the tobacco has changed and is more appealing to you, or your tastes have changed and you enjoy it more.
The escudo is probably 3-4 years old minimum since it has no warning label.Let both age for a year or more. However, Escudo is good fresh as well. Actually, you might like both of them “fresh.” Pop them whenever you feel like it.
The new Escudo doesn't age for shit. Smoke it now, they've ruined the recipe.The escudo is probably 3-4 years old minimum since it has no warning label.

Those are great! I even love the fig filling!I don't know about current Escudo but the stuff from 10 years ago was shit too. Bland as hell. I always had better luck with Davidoff Flake Medallions
