What is the Worst Pipe Tobacco You have ever Smoked?

Royal Yuck. I would rather have my ball sack stapled to the floor by a rivet gun whilst being ar*e f*cked without a reach around by a bisexual garden gnome wearing a barbed wire condom then ever smoke that stuff again. It has a flavor that resembles the imagined taste of sucking the farts out of a swan. A close second would be Clan which is just so unpleasant I doubt even Jim Inks would smoke the stuff!

So, you really, really like it? ?

C'mon Simon, that's just a normal Sunday morning for you.

Crosspost from another thread, Olkofri put it very well -

"Keep in mind: tongue bite is NOT the same as tongue burn.

Normally, we just let the term slide and take it to mean "a sore tongue", but when it comes to suggesting remedies we must differentiate. Tongue bite can occur no matter how slow and cool you smoke if your mouth chemistry and pH react strongly to a given tobacco/blend. It's not inherent to aromatics: it can happen with ANY blend if your body chemistry doesn't like it. Part of the learning process of pipe smoking is sussing out what agrees with you and what not, and then avoid of find a way to tame the latter.

Not impressed so far either, I have it split into smaller jars to age for a while to see if that mellows it out. I am also going to add some more Orientals to a jar or two to see if that brings it closer to the original, as well as press one into a plug to see if that fixes it. I bought the 16 ounce self blend kit, so I have some to play with if it is as awful as when it it first came.

Damn, guys, this is like open mike night at a shitty comedy club. These threads are just opportunities to be juvenile at the expense of other smokers sensibilities.

It's a fair point, and I wish I had put a blanket statement in my post that those were my very subjective opinions and more power to those who like those blends. Just because I don't like something definitely does not mean it's bad, low-quality, etc. Thus, 1792 Flake is not a tire fire in one's pipe, it was only a tire fire in my pipe.

But, most people realize that an opinion can only be that person’s opinion. I mean, I can guess what someone else’s opinion might be, but one person is just that one person. 60 people os still just 60 people’s opinions.
Because, even if we all don’t like it.... that doesn’t mean that Brobs and Embers aren’t going to love it. Right?

I have nothing but the utmost respect for anyone who digs 1792 Flake. Kinda like how I was impressed by watching my grandpa downing a pound or so of Sledzie in one sitting.

Once had a tub of Black & Mild - it was the harshest tongue lashing I've yet received from any tobacco. Tried it in multiple pipes, varied cadences and different drying times. Nothing changed the harshness. Never again!

Sutliff Sangria. Smells and tastes like cardboard. ?

 

[PipesRock]

Autumn Evening. Just horrible to my taste.
But...
In defense of C&D, I really enjoy Bijou and Sunset Harbor Flake.

@condorlover1 I haven't tried Gold Block but I've smoked a few packets of Clan in my clay pipes. I know your thoughts on Clan but you reacted to my "Clan in a clay" post with "Wow"!

No love for my poor Haddo's!! Its one of my favs.

 

[gervais]

I agree. Yorktown sucks! Pretty bad.

It taste like Virginia tobacco to me. Are you one of those pipe smokers that hate the taste of tobacco and only enjoy chemical laden aromatic garbage? Then it would make sense

 

[gervais]

Also, I’d been looking to try Yorktown, why is it the worst to you?

Yorktown is a good straight Virginia. Don't let these peoples broken taste buds scare you away from a great tobacco.

Any Briarwork blend ? purely vile

 

[briarbuck]

1 bowl and done. Gave the bag away, tossed the pipe and even threw away the matches. So bad.

My biggest disappointment from a Pipe Tobacco was buying a tin of Haddo's Delight and seeing the entire thing was bone dry upon opening, no topping left at all, and without a sealed container the base components didn't age well either.

I've been mighty intrigued by that one. I heard it is intensely fruity/tart, yeah?
