Hi guys,
I'm not new to pipes, but I'm new to researching pipe tobaccos more thoroughly than just telling myself "
that smells good" when I check something out in a store.
My difficulty is that I'm finding, in a shocking (!!) parallel to the cigar world, a lot of misinformation out there. I'll look up a given commercial blend and one site will say, "This blend is primarily Virginia, with just a touch of Latakia", while another source will describe the same blend, saying "Almost all Latakia, but a little pinch of Virginia keeps it balanced". Or, more troubling, a review might say, "This is one of the rare blends made without a casing", while another review will say, "The dark rum flavoring, while subtle, is noticeable in the room note".
Total inconsistency!
So, my question to you guys: can you point me at a good (preferably online) source of info about commercially available blends that you trust to provide
accurate information?
Thanks, everybody.
