Re: Confused new pipe smoker........Too Mild
Shawn, if you smoke a couple cigars, and then your pipe, you will get nothing - they are absolutely blah!
I love a great Virginia, sitting down and contemplating the interplay of sweet flavors dancing all over my palate.
But, I get zilch, zip, zero, nada if I am smoking them after a cigar or two.
You need a clean palate to smoke a pipe, and it takes a few days to do that. Considering I smoke only a couple days a week, I can pick up my pipe and be astounded.
Having said that, of the tobaccos you listed are I have only had the Pease, and I'd agree that it is light.
Keep trying there are great ones out there. Here's some to add to the list:
Gawith & Hoggarth Louisiana Flake
Sam Gawith: Full Virginia Flake & 1792
Esoterica: Penzance, Dorchester
Cornell & Diehl: Bow-legged Bear
For just a few names to consider. In fact, I'd call up Cornell & Diehl and explain your dilemna. Craig & Patti are good people. They'll probably come up with a sampler for you. Tell them Todd from Embarrass, WI told you to call. They'll either be excited or double the price.
Peace of the Lord be with you.
