Santa Smoking Pipe

I was reading alright googling some info on my current favorite tobacco and came across this list of pipe tobaccos to try.

This list is part of the FAQ for the ALT.SMOKERS.PIPES – This list was created for the following reasons:

The idea behind this list is to give the intermediate pipe smoker a specific and convenient list of blends to try, in order to broaden one's tastes and establish greater common ground with one's fellow pipesmokers.

 The List has Straight Virginians – Virginians Flake – Virginian/Perique Blends – Virginian / Burley Blends – English Blends – American Blends – Oriental Blends – Balkan Blends – and Ropes and Plugs.

You can view the list with names and reviews of the different pipe tobaccos here.

Hey Alan!

Excellent post. ASP is a wonderful resource. I also want to mention the site by Jon Tillman: http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/ a fantastic resource of blends and comments from many pipe smokers. Also, I highly highly recommend blends by Russ Oulette an up and coming blender from NY. His blends can now be purchased in tins as well as bulk at http://www.pipesandcigars.com/ I regularly enjoy Namaste named after a good friend of mine, as well as Larry’s Blend and LA Red among many others. Yummy yummy stuff. The first thing to do is to get your feet wet in the major classes of tobacco. You may find one or two of them appeal to you more than the others… explore there a bit as well- many of the same class are vastly different. There are so many tastes to be enjoyed here.

Also, I strongly suggest snagging some cheap wide-mouth Mason Jars so that you can jar up any unused tobacco- just label it with your label-maker and the date etc., so you can know what you have. Pipe tobacco is so much easier to keep than Cigars. Not to mention they age wonderfully.

Let us know how you come along with this! I totally enjoy my pipes and know that I wouldn’t have gotten this far in my work without them. They do wonders to one’s attitude as well as one’s thoughts. I can see why so many greats in history enjoyed a pipe.

Great post!

A11en – Thanks for the comments – Great info as always. I really appreciate it. As an addendum to my beer tasting review – While at the bar I was enjoying my pipe with GL Pease’s Haddos Delight ( http://www.glpease.com/Tobacco/Blends/HaddosDelight.html ) I actually was expecting to hear a few complaints as I smoked it out in public but I was surprised by the reaction. Several people asked what I was smoking as they loved the smell of it. And One woman asked me where to get it as she was going to purchase some for her Boyfriend who currently smokes cigars and was looking at getting into pipes. So I recommended my local smoke shop where I got my can of it. I believe she is purchasing a pipe and a few samples for him.
