"Anyone have a recommendation on an inexpensive but quality blend that a new pipe smoker should try?" Carter Hall.

"A Dr. Grabow can smoke as well as a Dunhill. " True. and a cob can smoke better than a grabow therfore a cob can smoke better than a Dunhill. even if a $5 cob didn't smoke as well as a $250 Dunhill, there is no way it smokes 50 times better as the price would want you to believe.

i wouldn't call chewing tobacco "crap". some people enjoy this form of tobacco. advise your dentist that you chew, so he/she is aware and will examine you accordingly. as for horror stories, i have none. but: i had an uncle who chewed Mail Pouch, daily, he lived to be 89. and my grandfather...

in addition to the retailers already listed, try Big 5 Sporting Goods. Check their Sunday ad in the paper, they usually have one on sale.

i wouldn't worry about it. for the past seven years, i've lived in the desert, my house stays at about 79 May-Oct, and my cigars have been fine. do you think every cigar is rolled and shipped in a "perfect" environment that is 70/70?

when i'm not smoking straight burley, i'm smoking orlik golden sliced. my review: like the tin says, this is full body VA tobaccos with a touch of burley. the cut from the tin is a traditional navy cut flake, you can either roll/fold or rub it out. from my experience, you get more flavor...

to enjoy a cigar you don't need to get caught up in comparing a cigar's taste to those of food, such as coffee, chocolate, almonds, etc. like doc said, most experienced smokers taste "tobacco" and it's better to use terms like sweet, bitter, smooth, full-bodied to describe the tobacco.

yes a Zippo pipe lighter is the way to go. any fuel smell burns off, you can't taste it.

give the prince a try. it's just simple burley. nice pipe aroma, slightly nutty but solid tobacco taste. nothing complex, but it's been around for over 100 years for a reason.

the shot glasses of water should do the trick.

"On a slightly different subject, where did you buy the beads from? Find a good price somewhere?" the best price for beads is at PetsMart. 8lbs of ExquisiCat Pearl Fresh for < $15. Link

your thinking is correct. the credo you made will act as a catalyst, the beads will control. when you hit the desired RH, pull the catalyst. when you drop a few RH%, add the catalyst back.

it's up to you to find the holy grail based on YOUR tastes, not mine. i like burley, you may not, so it's really up to you to find the type of tobacco you like, then try different blends in that category.

leave it in flake form until you are ready to smoke. you can GENTLY rub them out or just fold, which is my preference, since you will get a more flavor by not rubbing out.
