Smelling Pipe Tobacco

[Sigmund]

I like Lat now but years ago I didnt. Tins still smelled heavenly.

Yeah, I like the smell of tobacco unburnt as well as burnt. It's different, but just as nice. I often find myself taking whiffs out of jars when trying to decide what to smoke.

Nothing wrong with taking a sniff. As long as you don't start dipping Kendal dark shag like I'm currently doing you'll be fine. lol

I find smelling a pipe chamber throughout smoking, depending on the blends, can also have pleasing aromas.

Here’s another thing for smelling...

Smell the chamber after you’ve finished smoking and cleaned it, not so pleasant.

Then, check the smell daily, and you will notice after several days it will start smelling nice, sweet.

For me personally, I usually wait several days till the chamber reaches this sweet smelling stage before smoking. It’s my own beliefs this is when the chamber has reached a good point of being dried out, cured and ready to smoke again.

Of course briar can be smoked daily, I’ve just noticed for some of my pipes, when I go this route, the smoking seems better. Try and experiment and see for yourself...

Smelling tobacco in the tin.
I tried that once.

I keep all my pipes and tobacco in my bedroom and catch whiffs all the time.

When I can't have a smoke, I love to pop a top or two of my favorite open tins and sniff. I usually start with Orlik Golden Sliced and move on to Samovar and Drama Reserve. I think I'll do it right now.

Today I found 12 different LJ Peretti samples i bought and packed away last year for the move. I open them up today just to smell them. Divine!
