Pipe tobacco for a cigar smoker?

Keep your cut caps for blending!

I'm now tempted to try pipe smoking...just ordered a Missouri Meerchum Corn Cob pipe, My mixture 965 tobacco and pack of pipe cleaners...it's all I need, right?

Something to tamp down the tobacco as you smoke.... it's quite an art as I'm finding out!

Pipe lighter. I got a cheapish one with a fold out tamp on it. Two birds with one stone

the gentle tamp to keep it burning nicely as the bowl goes down, so satisfying.

try early morning pipe by peterson

there is so many to choose from its crazy. the aros are good. i enjoy an aro as its different to a cigar, a nice change of pace.so dont discount them just sample a few different ones and the majority aren't that heavily laced.

I like mainly Montecristo cigars...would you say My Mixture 965 is closer to Monty's than the Early Morning Pipe (if you've tried it)?

Had my first bowl of pipe tobacco in a MM Corn Cob (Country Gentleman pipe) with some My Mixture 965 tobacco. I may have been instantly converted....

Its one of the better ones for sure. Corn cobs are my favourite pipes, always a good talking point

I think this is it for me guys...I'm not going back to cigars (I was smoking puritos anyways....). Pipe tobacco is way higher in quality!

Sorry just seen this, i havent tried 965, but i wouldnt say EMP is close to the monty flavor profile. there isnt a comparison really, well not for me. But its all good stuff.

Thats a bold statement, i felt the same for a short period. I love my pipes but cigars feel special and are a nice treat . I treat my pipe as an 'in between' and if i fancy a smoke but dont have much time, i can pack half a bowl. And like i said before if i do get called on or distracted mid smoke i dont feel bad about coming back to it later and lighting up again or just knocking the bowl out.

good to see your enjoying it. I wonder why more cigar smokers dont dabble with pipes.

What brand briar pipes are the best in your opinion?

Depends on price, id stay away from all new peterson, they have varying quality issues all over Facebook. You can get some decent bargains on eBay searching for "estate pipes" find a few that are refurbished and they're good for smoking from the off.

If you're buying new, im a sucker for a Savinelli.

I have now tried both, 965 and EMP...965 is far better! EMP is good too though
