Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
Just got my order in!
- Margate -Escudo Navy De Luxe -No.14 Oriental -Smyrna #1 -Union Square. After my first puff of the No.14 I knew i could dedicate my new blowfish Jirsa to Oriental. But a quick question, Does anyone know off hand what type of Tobacco Category would these be classified as? -Margate -Boswell Northwood -McClellands Blackwoods Flake And how long till I'm able to smoke a full bowl in this new pipe haha, Can barely keep the whole bowl lit haha |

On the Boswell web page, Northwood is classified as "an English blend."

Any specific way on how to pack these, or do you just crumble them up like any other tobac. |

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
thank YOU! IHT!
Smoking some of the No.1 sMYRna right now Think I am leaning towards the no.14 more, With alot of lighter tobaccos i taste a bit if i exhale through the nose, but beyond that its like Hot air.. no flavor. Sense i've been smoking the pipe i havent really smoked much for cigars in a week or so, Does my pallet just need to stick with the Pipe before i can appreciate the lighter milder blends? |

the Smyrna #1 isn't as "in your face" as #14 (no latakia). Oriental #14 was a fav of mine when i started back with pipes. i could taste it, it had some ooomph to it. a couple months or less later, i started to get some flavors from the milder blends. now that im more experienced, i think it could've been 2 things. first, my taste buds were numb from the cigars, or second, the tobaccos themselves were muted due to not having any time to air out and dry up a bit (just like overhumidified cigars = muted flavors). so, give it some time, in another month or two, you'll be picking up the little flavors you were missing before in the milder blends. they're there, they just aren' there to come smack the taste out of your mouth (figuratively and literally).

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
should i open the jars ( i placed all tobaccos into there own glass jars)
and let air out... and possibly what is the ideal humidity... Thanks again! learning so much, so far i guess i'm picking up you can age Pipe tobaccos just as well as cigars, in there own sense, |

the ideal humidity is up to the smoker. some smoke wetter tobacco than others. some say the ideal humidity is when the tobacco is moist enough for you to still be able to mold it into a ball and for it to spring back. you dn't want it to where you try to bend the tobacco and it breaks like crispy bacon. some tobaccos, like McClelland broken flakes, need prepping as soon as you open the tin before it dries out and you can't prepare it. some ppl take the tobacco straight out of the tin, throw it into a pip and let 'er rip (some tobacco is ready to smoke straight out of a freshly opened tin, most are not). yes, you can age tobaccos just like cigars. best to leave the tins sealed if you want to do that, though.

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
So far been smoking Orientals with my new Jirsa, And after trying a few English and Va.pers.. im like DAMN! should i have dedicated that pipe to one of those. Do the flavor profiles of English/ Va.pers go beyond or possibly mold well with an already Oriental smoked pipe...
I have no issue keeping it 100% oriental but If i'm able to switch it SOONER rather than later I'd be a happy man ( still barely any cake.. maybe 5-6 bowls smoked in it) thanks once again guys, Dont worry, I'll be all Learned up in No times, Yes sir'y Bob! |

and Va.pers such as Escudo, and Fillmore... Is there a type of tobacco that would completely mask the original flavors left behind with the few Oriental bowls? Just trying to make the right choice thanks again guys, and Thanks Jordan! |

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
CONFUSING! lol
Margate is described to contain -Virginia Latakia Oriental and on the Package says... English... sooooo... lol I'm guessing this would smoke great with a light backbone of Oriental, but is this an actual English blend? ( So confusing, maybe someone should just recommend me a good Pipe book before I drive everyone crazy =] ) |
