Newbie Update: For No Particular Reason

[Stoic__Smoker]

Nice seeing someone enjoying the balkan/oriental type. Those are my favorites. You know I have smoked 3 nuns multiple times and, I can never remember what it tastes like. Just doesent stick with me. I am currently exploring burley atm. At times I enjoy. At others it is to strong. Haunted Bookshop is what I have been smoking over the past month.

Still really enjoying the English/Oriental/Balkans, in addition to my Burley's. I have recently tasted some SPC Mississippi River and Plum Pudding. Two more to add to my rotation.

So, then, you are indeed a proper smoker!

Enjoy!

Well, I am definitely smoking a pipe (or 3)

Burley goes very well with Virginia too. The alkalinity of Burley is mellowed by the acidity of the Virginia, thus the VaBur. The tastes also go well together. So, especially if you get a
Burley that is a little "bitey", try mixing a little Virginia in there.

Enjoy, my friend. Thanks for sharing.

I gotta get me some burley to try. Gonna dive in very soon. All these burley recommendations will make it easy

I will try those at some point soon. As far as the pipes go, I've yet to notice any advantages of briar over cobs. I am not yet at the stage of getting a better experience from briars and so, given the price differential, I'm not really vulnerable to PAD. Having said that, I'm picking up cobs in a variety of shapes and styles.

Someone please explain to me what PAD and TAD is.

PAD - Pipe acquisition Disorder - When you buy much more pipes than you possibly need

TAD - Tobacco Acquisition Disorder - When you buy more tobacco than you can possibly smoke in a lifetime
