Why Does Pipe Tobacco Suck So Much Compared to Cigars? Seriously?

[Umberto]

Makes me angry that the piping community will denigrate the cigar industry by saying pipe tobacco has so many more flavors that cigars don't. Of course if you add flavors you get flavors.

Don't get me wrong I love the artisanal pipe makers around the globe and the eccentric weirdos who smoke them. But the tobacco really breaks my heart. It's such an astounding degree of accepted ignorance.

Pipe tobacco is flavored tobacco product, cigars are just real. So far as I know Semois is the only one doing it's own nano size production of estate tobaccos.

What we get in our bowls is a mystery. I really don't get the cheerleading for pipe blenders...Let's call them out and ask what they flavor our tobacco with? Why are they always releasing new product with new flavors of the same tobacco contracted bales? To me it's absurd to treat pipe tobacco with the same respect as a cigar manufacture. The level of detail and earthly risks of the large tobacco families is that much greater.

Pipe tobacco to me would be so much better if they upped the game on high end tobacco only blends. No flavorings, no casings...just earth. That's kinda where I'm headed in my next blend.

For heavens sake I'd totally smoke nicaragua flake in my bowl...damn damn...perhaps I need to invest in a small press and try an experiment...Imagine...a cigar leaf flake That's it!

Uh, what? So let's see....eccentric weirdos, accepted ignorance, cheerleading, angry...dude, go join a cigar only group if this one is full of people you feel superior too and for which you hold so much disdain!

*complains about pipe smokers insulting the cigar industry, promptly insults the pipe tobacco community, on a PIPE SMOKERS FORUM!*

Go join a cigar forum, bro.

We're plenty critical and analytical here, and like different things and disagree about blends, blenders, brands, and so on. Definitely, find a cigar site of folks (who won't agree with some of what you say either, incidentally) and have a good life.

Ummmm... so are you the type of guy that gets invited to a party only to complain about how much the party sucks and how everyone should go to a different party instead? There’s an idiom for that, and it rhymes with “moosh gag”.

Seems like you are wasting your time posting on a pipe smoking forum. It would probably be best to go find the attention you seek elsewhere.

There are such things as cigar leaf blends. There are also many many uncountable unflavored or minimally flavored blends. Have you only smoked aromatics? What’s your purpose here?

 

[BarrelProof]

Troll.

This. Just don’t reply. Clearly got bored being quarantined and is trying to get a rise out of folks.

Because it doesn't offer the sensory experience of sucking the dried butthole crust off of a phallus that you so obviously crave? Sometimes people like things that you don't like. If you wanna burn a turd in your pipe, take a guillotine slicer to one, make a little pile of turd coins, and burn the turd coins in your pipe. Easy solution. ?

Oh, wait.

Some people say cucumbers taste better pickled.

Well, it's an opinion and we know what opinions are like. But the notion that tobacco isn't treated in some way or another with a result that affects flavors just isn't supported in practice, regardless of whether it's pipes or cigars. There is a wonderful variation of flavors with cigars. PIpe tobaccos offer a much wider variation. They're different practices with gooper aros at one extreme and single crop, single farm vintage blends at the other. Comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges and declaring one a virtuous virgin and the other a wanton whore.

The cigar industry is dumb.

CIGARS ARE REAL, BITCH!!!!
They are treated with casings etc as well. You have no clue

THE THICKER THE BETTER

 

[BROBS]

because you look way more badass pursing your lips sucking a mummy penis.

 

[rushx9]

I'ma go to a cigar aficionado forum and bitch about grape White Owls and pineapple Dutch Masters and ask why they can't make unflavored/natural cigars that taste as good as Gawith ropes.?

Thank you sir, for your consideration.
