    Taste of Pipe Tobacco

    What types of tobacco have you been smoking? Aromatics don't have any flavor to me, so I don't smoke any. Try smoking a straight Virginia flake or a Latakia blend. They both pack a good amount of flavor.

    Noob Here. . .

    I really enjoy the HH Mature Virginia. Even though it isn't a flake, I let it sit out to dry quite a bit. Just keep trying new tobaccos and you will find some that you love. Also, tobacco usually tastes like crap out of a new pipe(not too sure if this is true with Meer). By the way, congrats...

    What did you smoke today

    Smoking my first Opus. I forget what size, but it is a thin torpedo shape. I was not impressed with the first half, but I just hit the middle, and the flavor is really coming through. However, I don't think I would say they are very strong, like the reviews I have read. edit: forget what I...

    What did you smoke today

    What a combo. Smoking a LFD DL Chisel and drinking a Chimay Ale. I think this stuff is 9 point because I am about to fall out of my chair. I usually like the Ligero better than the DL, but it seems that this one is packed with flavor.

    Tatuaje RC233

    I am on spring break as of 10:00pm this evening, so I thought I would fire this cigar up. It has been in my cooler for about 6 months at 65%-68%RH. I keep my humidor around 60%-61%RH, and I think this cigar would have been better if I let it dry out a little more. It would not fit in the humi...

    Flor de Oliva

    I don't know about a sweetened cap on these. I thought they were just normal cigars. Anyway, I picked up a few bundles of these awhile back and I do like the corojo.

    A bottle of Scotch I can't drink

    I have not tried any scotch that I would say I did not like, until tonight. Passport Scotch, a blended scotch that I paid $15 for the liter. Anyway, it tasted like mold and dirt. I have tried blended scotches in the past that were not the best, but a little bit of ice usually helped...

    ebay gave me the boot

    I got an email stating that my account had been suspended to protect the safety of the community. It was actually Half.com. I sent an email asking for a reason why I was suspended, and am anxiosly awaiting a reply. The only thing I can think of is that I sold a book titled "Growing Gormet and...

    What did you smoke today

    Famous Nic 3000 If I would have remembered that this was my birthday I would have smoked something a little more special. However, I can't complain about the Famous Nic 3000. I bought a bundle in Oct. or Nov. and this was the 4th or 5th one. Everyone that I smoke is getting better; I am...

    Pinch Dimple 15yo Scotch

    Thanks for the review AVB. I tried this for the first time this evening, and I like it. At least for the price($20).

    CAO Artistry of Champions

    The Brazilla line tasted OK, but all I got from the Italia was a lot of flavorless smoke. That is just my opinion though.
