Only smoked half a bowl so far...like it better than the Escudo anyway! :biggrin1: The 'just doused campfire' aroma doesn't carry though too much to the taste (thankfully?) I do detect, of all things, a kind of cumin or east indian kind of taste though. Interesting stuff...I'll definitely give it a few more goes but I'm starting to think I might just be a simple aromatics guy. :blush:

My advise for any one starting is twofold. First never let anyone tell you what you're supposed to like. Aromatics get a bad rap, mainly because there are a lot of bad ones out there. But many of my favorite regular smokes should be classified as aromatic; G&H chocolate flake, G&H rum flake, G&H dark scented flake, SG mayors chocolate flake, SG grousmoore plug, SG 1792 Flake. Some may try to kid themselves that they are different, but to my mind if you flavor or scent the tobacco in a noticeable way it is an aromatic. Those are my preferences by the way not necessarily recommendations. There are many truly high quality aromatics made with top notch tobac and natural flavorings/liqueurs. If you find the aromatic to be your favorite let us know in a post! I know of some great blenders who make top notch blends of the sort. The frustration can run high in finding that first bit of joy when starting. I went through some difficulty before I found blends rich enough to satisfy my particular palate, but when I did it was fantastic.

Second if your trying a new type and it doesn't suit you jar it up and save it, properly stored tobacco will age indefinitely, and you can try it again later when your in the mood for something different. Also you shouldn't let one blend, or bender for that matter, of a type ruin your impressions of that style of tobacco. For example I don't care for most dutch aromatics, but that doesn't mean I don't like aromatics.

Above all smoke what you like, and like what you smoke.

[wolfmanxiii]

Good advice from jwhite! I would like to add one thing (I believe I've told you this before, but just in case):

Never had a problem jarring up a non-aromatic.

However, I've found that jarring up aromatics can be hit or miss. I've noticed some aromatics mellow out quite well after aging in a jar, but some tend to lose their flavor, go stale, and leave behind nothing but the soapy taste of PG.

[arghblech]

G. L. Pease Embarcadero in my MM bent Patriot. Lightly spicy and mellow. I need to spend time with this one before I make any big statements.

It was awesome. I think it overshadowed the Penzance just because the 'tin' aroma was so good. I wanted to eat it, but I decided that the flavor would last longer if I smoked it instead.

I never thought of eating any – thanks for the laugh!
It is good alongside a tumbler of your favorite libation.

I don't think Embarcadero is a cigar leaf blend, at least not according to Pease's blog (http://glpease.com/BriarAndLeaf/?p=40) and tobaccoreviews.com (http://tobaccoreviews.com/blend_detail.cfm?ALPHA=E&TID=2862). I'm going to try Key Largo when I place my next order. It just didn't make the cut this time :001_unsur

I bought an estate pipe a couple months ago and I never smoked it because it had a horrible taste that I though was just the stem from when the seller tried to clean it up.

I soaked the stem in vodka for 12 hours it's much better, but the pipe it's self still has some horrible taste. I'm currently trying to exercise this demon with a custom blend of Prince Albert layered on top of 5 Brothers on top of Ashton Artisan's blend. I can't tell if it's working or if I'm dead.

ROLF I've been there brother. Have you tried a S/A treatment? Try reaming the cake as close to wood as you can without gouging the bowl and do an S/A or three. That should seriously weaken the evil spirits in that pipe, and a new cake should exorcise them completely.

[RobAtSGH]

Right now, a mug of stroooooong Assam tea and Solani 369 in a short Tsuge Kaga bent brandy. Just got back from walking up the street to the bakery to pick up a fruitcake, so the fruity aromatic is keeping me from devouring half of the baked goods before dinner. :laugh:

[Commander Quan]

The seller did ream the whole pipe out, and he actually did a decent job cleaning the pipe up, but it had this horrible taste of soap!(?) I assumed that it was the vulcanite stem but I was obviously wrong. I think one or two more treatments will be sufficient.

[RobAtSGH]

Wow, that sounds amazing. Has it been aging in the tin or did you jar it?

Aging in the tin. I bought a LOT of tobacco that had been sitting gathering dust in local shops a number of years ago and stashed them away. If I reach into the file cabinet... let me pull out a few.

mid-90's C&D Pennington Gap
2000 McClelland No. 25 Matured Virginia
2001-ish Pease Samarra and Mephisto
A lone tin of 1991 McClelland St. James Woods, when it was tinned for Levin Pipes under the Personal Reserve Series
Two silver-foil 8-oz bags of Esoterica Cardiff and Hastings (unknown age, but at least 10 years)
Several 10+ year old tins of Torben Dansk Red Virginia No. 3 (fell in love with this blend one winter and then they discontinued it)

There's more floating round in there, but the secret to having a stash of aged tobacco seems to be to go nuts and buy way more than you can ever smoke and then forget about it. :blink:

Anyone else try this tobacco brand or have an opinion? The 8 samples sample pack looks interesting.

[Blue_2]

Judging from their website its one of their house brands and is likely a rebranded bulk. Apparently most house brands are, not that it's a bad thing if it's good stuff. I'd probably ask the proprieter, but they're under no obligation to spill the beans if it is.

Don't be afraid to "make" your own! You may try several and say, "x is missing a certain something that y has and vice versa" and those things may complement each other and if you buy a few ounces of each you can play with percentages and come up with your own.

Taking some advice from tobaccoreviews.com I blended Lane BCA and 1-Q 50/50 and have found a perfect smoke for me. I call it my "house blend" that I share with others and enjoy immensely when I want something light and aromatic yet flavorful. Give it a try!

Hmmm... not a bad idea. I may try that with some left over samples I have.



Question for all: does "house" and "bulk tobacco" necessarily or at least generally, mean "low quality"? I suppose that will depend on the blender, but I guess the question is... is it worth spending time with those or should I stick to the commercial "name brand" stuff?

I've never had any luck with house blends in my area, but I've only tried a few. In fact, I wish I hadn't started with local bulk tobaccos, as it nearly turned me off to the whole thing. That said, I'm sure there's some good ones out there, and some tobacconists may actually make their own blends rather than re-labeling commercial bulks. Boswell comes to mind.

[jwhite]

Many of the very best tobaccos around are sold in bulk some exclusively so. Some examples are Samuel Gawith, Gawith and Hoggarth, Cornell and Diehl, McClelland and Peter Stokkeby. Some tobacconists Like Pipes and Cigars still employ a proper house blender who creates special blends from high quality materials, as opposed to the Lane mash-ups some retail stores call blending.

No offense intended for those that like to experiment with there own mash-ups, I happen to be one of them but I don't confuse myself with those who spend the time, effort, and experience to become a master blender. Just as I love cooking and I do pretty well, but I don't call myself chef.

I suppose that will depend on the blender, but I guess the question is... is it worth spending time with those or should I stick to the commercial "name brand" stuff?Name brand has the advantage of being widely available and gives you more options. A lot of those bulks found on places like pipesandcigars are very good and are made by reputable companies. You might find the exact same thing you are smoking there, under a different (and more widely recognizable) name. Lane Limited '1Q' is the #1 selling pipe tobacco blend in the US. I'll bet you've never heard of it, but I'll also bet every B&M store owner has.

I've only recently found out that you are a cigar smoker. I've toyed with pipes for a little over a year now and never got real serious (I have over a thousand cigars). So the Mrs. Dustinl buys me this pipe for Christmas and I feel my AD blood pressure hitting the roof. Now I am all over pipe vendor sites checking them out. Not to mention the pipe funiture, lighters, and custom tampers. Custom (dang I can't believe I just said that). Custom pipes. I am doomed.

Dustin I was in the same situation as you, I had even forgot that I had my two pipes but 2 years ago I decided I was going to figure out how to smoke them the right way and i've never looked back. I still have a humi and cooler full of cigars but I haven't bought a cigar in over a year, and now I have over 15 pounds of tobacco. It's quite a slope.

LOL, the ADs hit hard, don't they? But, to say that I'm a smoker period might be a little stretch. I have a few stogies around and some pipe tobacco (now) and every now and again, I get the urge to light up. Maybe once a month or so. But, I've been having more lately now that I'm attempting to rediscover pipes. (My grandfather smoked half and half and I fondly remember the smell, however, I find it unsmokable). In any case, I have yet to hit on either the must have cigar (he also smoked white owls...ick) or the must have pipe. Maybe my smoking frequnecy will change then. But, I also try to live fairly healthily and keep the smoking to more of a "social" frequency... at least for now.

Definitely a G.L. Pease blend but that's not how Barbary Coast smells to me, more of a brandy smell out of the tin. I've got a fairly fresh tin open so I'll take a bowls worth and let it dry out a lot.

Well, the churchwarden is presently fired up with some no-name (but good) maple tobacco I got in Puerto Rico (Cigar House at the Doll House in Old San Juan). The longer stem does take a bit of getting used to, but I'm liking the smaller bit and the cooler smoke. I think I need a long gray beard tho. :biggrin:

I just ordered that exact pipe. What do you think of it?I love them. It's impossible to beat cobs for smokability at anywhere near their price point. I like Missouri Meerschaums because of their control over the whole product and its 100% made in the USA. The corn is grown here, with fairly stringent laws over fertilizers and other chemicals. The pipe making is also a known process with known ingredients. The same can't be said for the knockoffs.

That said, I have a bunch of them for new tobaccos. I also like the Country Gentleman and my Freehand models.
