Me too. I smoked Black Cherry pipe tobacco for a long while, it always smelled fantastic in the pouch, and in fact was a nice smoke, but smoked it was nothing like the unlit tobacco. That’s one thing I miss about smoking, the delightful smell of a new tin of pipe tobacco or brand new hand rolling baccy. Musn’t get too sentimental though, it was damn near killing me…
Snuffster, did you ever smoke Three Nuns pipe tobacco? Whenever I opened a tin of that syuff, I felt like eating some of it. Smoked it in a Petersen clay pipe, very good indeed. But, I’ve had enough !!
I did indeed and smoked in a Petersen as well, though not a clay; a meerschaum bent. My tobaccos of choice were: Forrestal Black Cherry, Borkum Rif, Tam O’Shanter, Gold Flake, Condor, Erinmore, Clan and Mellow Virginia and Gallaher’s pigtail. MY everyday smokes Condor and Mellow Virginia. When I read about people using tobacco flavoured with this that and the other I always think ‘your not a pipe smoker’. Maybe a snobby attitude but there you have it!
