My pipe journey began in the early 80's - Though not officially. I was just a kid hanging out at my mothers place of employment. I spent most of my summers in Bush Gardens in Virginia and would wander the park every day looking for things to do. They had a tobacco shop in the park back in those days and I wandered in one day and I remember being captivated by the smells inside.
Fast forward to March 2019 and I finally decided at 46 to give it a go. I have never smoked in my life up until this point and have spent a lot of time watching YouTube for advise from (MuttonChop Piper) and various other You-tubers. Naturally I was drawn to the aromatics because of my childhood memory. I figured for sure they would be my favorites and I have not enjoyed them nearly as much as I figured. I'm sure its cadence and my inexperience that has a lot to do with this. (No serious tongue bite yet though) Been very cautious about that.
My favorite so far has been Captain Black Royal -
If I were to ask one thing from the wise old veterans it would be for a solid recommendation from the 4 types that I know off. Prioritizing quality -
The 4 types I am aware of and please correct me if I am wrong. I am 110% a novice and just a babe lost in the woods at this point.
Aromatics
English
Oriental
Virginia
Those are the main 4 I hear about. I would like to get a good tobacco from each and see how they relate to one another and figure out where my tastes seem to take me.
