What's in your bowl today

I don't think I got that in my newbie sampler. I did see it mentioned a lot when reading about FR on tobaccoreviews. Having only tried a few blends, I wouldn't know really what i like yet. It seems each blend is better than the last.

This last sentence has a lot to do with your technique improving over time as well. Make sure you go back and revisit blends you were on the fence about in the future. I realized this after revisiting an English blend about 4 months later

Last bowl of the night: Frog Morton on the town. Pretty good. First time I'm really noticing sweetness as a big part of the flavors.

That's a cool pipe.

Just had some sleepy hollow. I enjoyed it. Question: are aromatic tobaccos the pipe version of Acid cigars or is there no shame in enjoying an aromatic occasionally?

Thanks, it's an old unfinished Savinelli I have had it for at least 10 years. It smokes like a champ!

Smoke what you like, no shame! I'm not a big aro fan, but there are a few I can handle periodically.

Haha, posts about aros always seem to begin with "I mostly smoke Old Ironsides, but enjoy am occasional aro...."

They are a little looked down upon, like Acids, and the often smoke poorly, but there are some legit aros that scratch a certain itch. Lane 1-Q is an essential sample for any new piper, and is good. I'm here to tell you Sleepy Hallow is great. If you want one of those super black and sweet Cavendish blends that won't leave a puddle in your pipe, Hilands Cigars' Black Gold Plus is a local favorite of mine you can order online; smokes well, and is akin to smoking a brownie

If you pm me ill send you a few bowls worth of Black Gold.

A rare-for-me back to back bowl occasion of MacB Navy Flake. First time trying this blend - amaaaaaaazing. Instant favorite.

I have been enjoying pipes and cigars for 45 years. Aro, straight tobacco, English is all tobacco and all can be enjoyed. I love pretty much all of them. Some rate tobacco based on price, but really all my pipe friends stick to taste evaluations. You smoke what you like and tell us about it. We're interested in your opinion of the various tobacs you try out.

THIS^^^^ and I thought I was such a big aromatics fan too when I first started but since branching out, I don't smoke them as often but they're a nice treat. Again, it all comes down to smoke what you like, like what you smoke.

IL Monaco that I loaded Friday and don't have a clue what I loaded it with. I took the picture (again) tonight as I guess I deleted it before I posted Friday....
