First pipe trials.

[Rob Royston]

So as a person that smokes 2 or 3 cigars a week I have been doing a fair amount of reading on pipe tobacco.
Interested, I bought this yesterday.

A lorenzo spitfire.
For ?14 and another ?14 for some Peterson Gold Blend I lit half a bowl up today after work.

Oh my. For something recommended as a mild tobacco this surprised me.
So many flavours I've never tasted before. But no nicotine hit. No noticeable smell on my clothes (well...as much as if I had a cigar!)
Enjoyed my first bowl so thought I'd order a Dunhill Early Morning and a Nightcap to give it a proper go.

Then hopefully my packing technique can improve

All the best gents. And thanks for having so much info on here already for me to gander through

Make sure you strap yourself down Rob if you have a bowl of nightcap pipe tobacco.

Good stuff Rob

Perhaps get yourself over to the cigar picture competition for April: there's a new Cob pipe and a selection of tobacco up for grabs

[Rob Royston]

Thanks all
The kilner jars won't replace the humidor just yet, but hopefully I'll get the hang of it.
