I went out today to buy my first pipe. I went with a briar and had my first few puffs this evening. It is good and I understand it is the sort of thing that takes a few tries. The nice man at the shop where I bought my pipe suggested I try "Clan" aromatic. Any idea if this is a good tobacco to start on or not? It doesn't seem to have much of an "aromatic" flavor to me, but maybe I am wrong? Also-- a few questions: How long before tobacco goes "stale"? How much would a tobacco jar help with this? How long should you wait for the pipe to cool off before you can take it apart to clean it? Thank you so much in advance for all your advice and helping make this an aproachable subject. I have been so curious to take up pipe smoking for ages now! Hey,

Such a great read. I am in the uk, early 30's and smoked rollups from 16 yrs old. My grandfather has smoked a pipe since I can remember and other than when I was very young and found it a little overpowering I've always thought the smell very comforting. After procrastinating for over a year about wanting to take up the pipe my sister bought me a lovely briar for christmas, I immediately bought a pouch of condor, loaded it and enjoyed the most pleasant smoke ever! I was concerned that having smoked light virginia tobacco in rollups for 15years that it would be to heavy but had to give it ago just for the smell, but my goodness, I have only smoked a handful of rollups since, even then only because I was away from my pipe! Have since tried mellow virginia and clan, neither of which are any way near as pleasing. Will continue to experiment and enjoy the process! my sister is now considering a small ladies pipe after insisting she try mine and loving it too, I think it will be a lovely, if slightly unhealthy pleasure to share (i couldn't imagine either of us will ever be able to resist inhaling now and then - I know my grandad can't) anyone know any info on ethically produced tobacco along the lines of fair trade or similar I would really like to know more, my only real concern about smoking is not about the smoking but the industries - would love to decipher the hype a little. happy puffing! thank you!

Trying many different brands.. Eventually leaning to, Mac Baren - the Cadillac of Tabaccos. Mac Baren "Virginia 1" has a great taste, "Plum Cake" is excellent for transitioning from ciggarettes, because it is very full bodied.. It's so easy to buy in a tobacco shop, the temptation to find affordable quality tobacco is taxing.. Albeit very much rewarded by doing research. I love the Mac Baren website, very informative on te history and production of tobacco.. I’ve been smoking pipe tobacco for about 3 years now, from ciggarettes. Trying many different brands..

The question - where to start w/type of pipe tobacco. I like the bent pipes best & got one for christmas this year. I'm a 32 lady :) I also enjoy cigars, but would really like to enjoy a good pipe smoking... I'm thankful to have found this site - - gives some good information. I think I'll start out with the flavorable aromatics first and see where to go after that! Due to the recent ban of clove cigarettes, I’m choosing to take up pipe smoking…

My first interest into pipes came from a older gentleman who smoked in our local pub, this would be in the North West of Derbyshire in the mid 80's. He used to smoke a tobacco which was deeply aromatic, great wisps of this sweet, heady scented smoke plumed from his corner. The scent was like no other tobacco i have smelt since. Does any one have any idea what this tobacco would have been? I can only describe it as being almost cherry, but not, almost woody, but not, and almost fruity, but not......... Sorry this is not much help, but any advice would be appreciated. I smoke a bent Peterson, and have tried many tobaccos, but have not been able to replicate this heady scent. I look forward to someone laying their hands on the tobacco name (I have tried many of the regular aromatics available locally, but have never attempted to engage the power of the web in my search!! Many thanks in advance! Great introduction, many thanks.

Still of course the crave every so often which I suppress with constant bottles of water or hot tea when I can. Although still, I do enjoy smoking. I have a decent palette for cigars & am eager to learn more about pipe smoking. I was wondering what are some do's & don'ts, things to look for & remember, & also about inhaling(I see mixed feelings on it). I think that a good draw from a pipe maybe once a day or just every so often would really put me at ease for the day, a nice break, & keep me from being so on the edge with being off the teet of a cigarette fix lol :lol: Please email me possibly with some insight, it's greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Hugo//HugoBrooks@live.com Hello everyone my name is Hugo, I’m relatively young, 19 for that matter, and recently quit smoking cigarettes successfully, well for the most part.

You can use other smokers experience with different blends as a guide for yourself. Also, Lane 1Q is a great starter tobacco. People around you will love the smell. It taste like vanilla and chocolate. :grin: Tobaccoreviews.com that is. You can use other smokers experience with different blends as a guide for yourself. Also, Lane 1Q is a great starter tobacco.
