Hello all! I just began my pipe smoking journey about a week ago. I come from a background of 25 years of steady cigarettes (I quit last year), some hookah, and cigars on special occasions. I have no good pipe shop near me as my family is fairly out of the way on a little modern homestead. But I was able to get a good cobb and a pack of Peterson Wild Atlantic. I am also blessed enough to have a friend who is knowledgeable about pipes and he gave me a few samples to try. Whiskey Biscuit Gravy, Christmas Cookie, Vanilla Roll Cake, Super Balkan, Capstan Blue. I've realized that while I don't hate the aromatics, they will have their place like if I'm smoking inside or around my wife, I much prefer my tobacco to taste like tobacco. I enjoyed the Capstan Blue the most. It seems to my inexperienced taste, mild and pleasant and could be smoked all day. Although the Peterson Wild Atlantic isn't bad like I expected it to be. I smoke 2-3 pipes a day.
So now I'm sitting here at my computer wondering what I should buy. I still need to also find something good and deep with a high nicotine for me to smoke around the campfire we have some nights. *sigh* I have so many questions. I'm still looking for a good online article to explain the different tobacco classes. I'd like to particularly read about Virginias as I believe that's what the Capstan Blue is.
Well, sorry if this intro went on a bit long!
