Winter: ANY blend you know that typically smokes a little hotter than others.
For example: Virginias have natural sugars & tend to burn a little hotter.
Tobaccos I like in the winter: ANY Virginia / Perique blend. Rattray’s, G.L. Pease, 3 Nuns, Stokkebye’s Navy Flake / medallions, Orlik Golden Sliced, Dunhill Virginia Flake, Tjordenskold Virginia medallions, etc- see the trend?
Also- in keeping with wintery flavors, a good Balkan blend does the trick. Larry’s blend comes to mind.
If your tin of Christmas Cheer




is puffy- crack it open & stick it in a jar & enjoy. I’ve got 2 tins of 2014, 2016, and the 40th anniversary 2017. I’m not cracking those open until something special happens or unless the can pops. (I love that sound- only heard it once in my life)

Anyhow- I’m new to the forum but I’ve been smoking a pipe for around 25 years- learned in the navy. I know more about pipe smoking than I do about stogies- so- any other questions- hit me up- chances are I’ve made a fair portion of mistakes anyone could make including breaking pipe stems
