Any more add yourself to the list.

By the way mate I have a few cigars (aged) I am willing to get rid of if you want some let me know I'll pop em in the post for you.

On another note I tried Kendall's vanilla and cherry this weekend which was surprisingly good and if a bit different from my usual.

Man of tanith also has a lot to answer for as despite the previous warnings I clicked the link and now have about 10 samples and a new pipe tool on the way!

Yep, blame Tanith - it's my default option

I specifically said don't click the link......
Thus no responsibility is mine.



Blame tanith is default state eh? Funny blaming you is becoming the default for me

I'll be honest I ordered yesterday and samples arrived today and in my impressed state I placed another order on a few more samples and a new pipe that caught my eye when I was browsing so no blame can be attached!
I have a feeling this site may get some regular business from me now! Oops!

I'm getting to be a big fan of McClelland blends, particularly Old Dog and Blue Mountain. For a real Latakia hit try British Woods, superb.

As the weather gets warmer I find myself smoking lighter blends, often with some Perique in them.

My first tobaccos were the flavoured, sweeter blends like American Dream, but I prefer to let the quality of the tobacco shine through now.

Dont smoke any more but I did try a pipe for a bit when I did.
Used to like Cherry flavour Borkum Riff.irate:

Started smoking a pipe recently in order to get off the roll ups and the fact that it just feels 'right' somehow. Started off with some kendal american sweet peach - nice and mellow, lovely smell in the house but wasn't what I was looking for. Next was mac barens cube silver after reading all the hype, not impressed. Smeeled amazing in the jar, xmas pudding almost. But it burnt hot, needed a lot of drying out to get it to smoke properly and the taste wasn't what I expected. Now I've found one that really makes me smile. Dunhills 'early moring pipe'', I love it The smell and the taste of the latakia tobacco in it reminds me of leather and woodsmoke from the campfire, it's really smooth too. Really easy to keep burning too, which is handy for the beginner lol.

Dunhill's EMP as well as Nightcap are awesome...all the Dunhill I've tried is nice to be honest. Good call there.

Not smoked a pipe in a long long time. Got my first pipe as a teenager to partake of Caribbean Herbal bacco

Can't remember what bacco I smoked other than Three Nuns and Clan. I still like the smell of pipe smoke and a good cigar.

The OP could try some sample packs like

Sadly Gauloises and Marlboro addiction put an end to my pipe smoking days.

I'm fairly new to pipe smoking, I've been mainly trying tobaccos & pipes ordered through the internet, with varying degrees of success.Then I finally found a proper tobacconist where they were very pleasant and let me smell the tobaccos they had and kindly recommending based on what I have found I liked.

Tried a lot of smoke-king samples, here's my main likes.

# New Century Buttered Rum - main smoke - I love the smell and taste, main choice for smoking.
# Gawith and Hogarth Kendal Cream flake - cream is a great name, mild, smooth and a nice change of pace from the buttered rum.
# Kentuck Nougat - as recommended to me in Dallings in Ayr (first real tobacconist I've found 'near' me - only 33 miles away) - smells and tastes fruity/chocolatey - really sweet.

I also bought a tin of Robert & McConnell Maduro Superb - based on the fantastic rum smell. I then realised it has a great smell - but is a flat, bland smoke. I now mix a little bit in the Buttered Rum, and get the best of both worlds, a cracking smell when I open the pouch & a great smoke.

Ha-ha used to smoke untipped Gauloises too. A true Scotsmans ciggy as no-one ever bummed one off of you. Smoked a pipe for a while while working in the woods as it was easier in the rain to keep it lit than fags which just got soaked and disintegrated.

I reckon you'll enjoy the EMP Sam, the latakia is like the industrial revolution in your pipe! The Nightcap is very similar but stronger. If you detest it let me know and perhaps we can swap kit for baccie

 

[Man of Tanith]

Second time ive had emp...its a good smoke. I've strayed from just aromatics
so much so I bought two more tins when I stocked up.
And a nightcap to try as well but I'm now limiting myself to only smoking one tin at a time t stop me havin half a dozen dry tins on go at time.
Let you know what I think of it

 

[sasquatch]

That's what I do Sam,a tin of Dunhill or Petersons Hyde Park for the manly English blend then an aromatic to change things up sometimes. Not been on the pipe much, will have to put an order in on payday. All this talk of Dunhill makes me pine for a tin if Nightcap

@ Rod Paradise; did you read Sublime Tobacco? If so did you find it an interesting read? It's certainly a glimpse into a more civilised world (for those who could afford to inhabit it!).................atb mac

Hello Mr Tanith, have you ever tried putting a semi dried fig or date to keep your baccy moist, also imparts a nice flavour. You can also pop in a drop of whisky or brandy to do the same. Nice to experiment with flavours. With some rough baccy I tried a bit of vanilla pod once and that was lovely.

Used to use a piece of potato or a cabbage leaf.
Or rum....

I'll give the fig a go
Thanks for suggestion
