Tobacco suggestions?

[Briar Lee]

So Ive smoked cigarettes and cigars since I was 15 I'm a few days a way from 40. When I first smoked a pipe I bought black cavendish and it tasted like nothing I have ever had. So I went crazy and tried a ton of aromatics mostly with black cavendish. Then I tried English which is now my favorite particularly Latakia. Again it's like nothing Ive ever had. Next week I'm going to get something new but Ive notice very similar flavors with all the aros and Latakia blends or English. Like Match Revelation, Match Barking Dog, Early Morning, Nightcap, all are great but similar.


Any suggestions for something new thats nothing like any of those things? Side note cost isn't an issue, and I don't care about nicotine lvl either way high or low.

Try Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake:

Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake - Pipes and Cigars

Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake is a modern classic. Layers of choice Virginias, selected for their natural sweetness are combined with a moderate amount of Perique and pressed into blocks and then sliced. A touch of rum is added to complete the "navy flake" profile - smooth, lightly sweet and...

I have six pounds aging and I’m smoking on two more.

PS Luxury Navy Flake is a flake Va Per, probably the most widely sold.

Started smoking cigarettes at 12 and now I'm 55. Still like cigarettes. Pipe tobacco doesn't taste like cigarettes. But after you smoke pipes for awhile, you will notice cigarettes taste like pipe tobacco. You will pick out sweetness of Virginia. Also if you are new to pipe, you might experience cigarettes like taste from some pipe tobacco. Not because they actually taste like cigarettes, but your palate isn't trained to pick out certain subtle flavors. Truth is, we really can't tell which blends will taste like cigarettes since it's your tongue.

Okay I took y'all's advice ordered some Haunted book store, Autumn Evenings or what ever it was called, I forgot. And a few others that were mentioned. Next week I'm gonna order a few more that were mentioned. I also got a wind cap for $2 bucks, hopefully it works. I'm under a ceiling fan, and my wife gets hot. She keeps it on all winter while I freeze to death next to the heater. lol Anyways thanks guys!

If you like Nightcap, also try GLP Quiet Nights. It's a great blend, and I feel it's a little more well-rounded without some of the rough edges.

You might try Peterson Royal Yacht, it’s been popular for over a 100 years, which is a pretty good recommendation. It’s a blend of burly and virginia which has a smooth and soft smoking quality with a very subtle sweet plum essence. It’s medium strong, ribbon cut and is very forgiving as it stays alight and burns steadily to a grey ash. It used to be a Dunhill and legend would have it that it was Stalin’s favourite blend.

Royal yacht?

Get into Lakeland tobaccos, that will be quite different than what you're used to.

Royal yacht?

Are you saying you’ve never heard of Royal Yacht? Or are you questioning its appropriateness as a recommendation in this case?

 

[OverMountain]

To wit: I recommend royal yacht.

Cigarettes have Burley and Virginia in it......are those cigaretteish? That's why I've been avoiding those.

Some Virginias and Burleys can exhibit some cigarette flavors when smoked too hot fast and moist. But overall, the types of varietals used in both burley and Virginia blends are different from the very very mild tobaccos used in cigarettes. One isn't supposed inhale pipe tobaccos. They're quite a bit stronger than cigarette tobaccos.

Virginias will school you. But if you learn what they have to teach you, a whole different world of flavors open up.

Ah, got it. Thanks. Your question mark was throwing me off.

It was a poorly written comment on my part. Have a great night.

Neither of these Burleys has anything approaching the taste of a cigarette.

Let us know what you think of the blends when you get the chance to smoke them. Haunted Bookshop is my favorite blend. @Winterreise turned me onto that a while ago and I've never looked back.

Unfortunately I could not smoke Haunted Book Shop. I found out I'm allergic to Burley after I ordered it.

That's unfortunate. It will put the brakes on a lot of blends for you. I'm sure you'll find a lot of wonderful tobacco that will work for you that omit burley though. Happy smokes brother.

So I just smoked a bowl of the Bayou Morning that some of you suggested.

First off, it was ready to smoke no drying. It stayed lit and burned nicely. I like it, to me it was very cigar like. Practically a good Nicaraguan. Peppery with a hint of sweetness. As I also love cigars this was nice. I will be keeping this around.



I also smoked yesterday and this morning the Autumn Evenings. That one is going to also be bought in bulk. To me it was maple but I got a strong deep dark roasted coffee.

What did you guys think of them? Do you think I'm way off? Either way these 2 are keepers thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to continue to smoke new blends. I won't bore you with my thoughts. But was wondering what you guys get out of those 2.
