Same here just became a pipe smoker and bought myself my first Savanelli thanks to Muttonchop Hope all is well wishing and praying for the best for him
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
Here's a saying I read at a feed store once Chris. " If you want fresh quality oats, you have to pay a fair price. However, if you can settle for oats that have already been through the horse, that comes at a much cheaper price" 😂
I hope all is well with you and yours, your absence is felt but we all hope you are well! I am doing some research for my next beginner video and who better to help than Muttonchop Piper?!?! Missing you brother! Happy Piping!
Thanks to your amazing videos I’m a far more confident pipe smoker. I have been re watching and remembering some of the great tips you have given me over the years. I hope you and your family are safe and well. And I really hope to hear from you again on here.
I can't watch one of your videos without smiling by the end of it. Grate job!! So exited about blend club.. ordered my tobacco for it last night! 6 mounts into pipe smoking..thank you for the wisdom and guidance! Be blessed. Praying for your mom and family.
Agree with you completely. Cutting corners on tobacco will make an ex-smoker out of you pretty soon. Get a good quality leaf and smoke it leisurely and, dare I say it, respectfully, you'll be an avid pipester for life! I bought my first pipe in 1961 and made just about every mistake a novice could make before getting on the right track. There were books and pamphlets back in those days, but nothing like this site, where you take the newbie by the metaphorical hand and help him avoid going through what I had to. Many thanks.
I've been smoking a pipe for many years (more than I really care to admit), and I was fortunate enough to have someone to teach me what to do and what not to do in the beginning, so this has been a very enjoyable journey for me. But I know from talking to others that they have not had the benefit of having a mentor in this hobby and on their behalf I want to thank you for continuing to make these videos.
Kyohan - it's my pleasure my friend, I find satisfaction from a new pipe smoker who after several months of trying to smoke a pipe but just couldn't get there sends me a message saying due to the videos I make they have found success in smoking a pipe. 👍👍👍
I'm always glad to stop by on your utube channel. By because I always find out something new about how to smoke pipe tobacco pipe. And pipe tobacco. I'm never disappointed when I go to your channel. Thank you for your knowledge.
I’ve done everything you could imagine with tobacco consumption. I chewed when younger, smoked cigarettes, cigars for 8 years. Tried a pipe a couple times and was hooked ever since. The pure essence and methodology along with the enjoyment from pipe smoking change the way I looked at tobacco. It’s a wholesome event. A wonderful habit. Anyway I just wanted to thank you for all your videos and appreciate the time you’ve took to share your wisdom.
Michael Blevins - I feel the same way, I also appreciate the history, and I think there is a mystique about pipe smokers, maybe it’s just me, but when I see someone smoking a pipe, I see an intelligent person, someone who is got it together, confident but calm, strong but approachable. 👍👍👍
You're hitting the nail right on the head here. One thing I'm finding with my pipe smoking journey is that when I invest a little more in tobacco, I get more reward for my efforts. I've recently been buying some good premium blends and they've been great smokes. I got a pretty cool story that kind of ties into this. As I've been delving into pipe smoking, I've been learning about things like Syrian vs Cyprian Latakia. I was talking to the pipe guy at a tobacconist I like to go to about this subject, and he showed me a blend called Syrian Super Balkan, made by McLelland. It's a blend that's made up of Syrian Latakia, oriental, Virginia and perique. Sounds good already. But then he pointed out that the tin was dated 2006! I could not pass it up - I had to try it, despite the added price. I popped it open tonight and was surprised how great it smelled; it has this rich raisin smell to it that's just beautiful. And when I smoked some, I was not let down at all. There are flavours like raisins, wine, at one point cinnamon bread, some perfumey notes to it too. And the bowl just lasted, and I was using my smallest pipe. So good!! The only sad part is that I probably won't come across this again, so I better savour it. But it just demonstrates what you said - spend the money and get a good tobacco, and you won't be sorry. A great video, but also important video! Keep up the great work!👍🏻
Just saying that I love your channel!! You are extremely informative, and easy to understand. Thank you for all your time and effort you put into your videos. Always looking forward to your next installment!
As a newer member, I have to say that I have found your videos very informative and have actually found my groove with your help. I have also recruited a couple newcomers. Thanks so much. Awaiting your next video.
Thank you for the tour of pipe smokers get together s. You took video close-up of business cards, and I jumped on it. I did buy a few pipes from these vendors. Again, thank you.
I Live in the Dominican Republic and I'm starting to smoke pipe. Even though we have a wide variety of good Cigars, we have no variety of Pipe tobacco as you mentioned for Latin America. This video show me that you know what you're talking about. I just subscribe and will do as you mentioned, I will spend a bit to get the premium one to avoid a bad experience. Thank you sir.
This is an excellent video. Great advice about buying quality tobacco. I wish I had known 20 years ago. My first tobacco back then was borkum riff whiskey and it was so bad I was turned away at first. A few years later I tried super value vanilla. That was a mistake also. I didn't know a good tobacco shop so I went online and discovered everything there is available while hunting for better tobacco. Now all I smoke is premium brands like C&D and Mcclelland.
you are so on point, I just started piping about 3 weeks ago and I tried the cheapest tobacco on the market, thank goodness I found your channel and you recommended Eileen's Dream. That is a beautiful tobacco! I've smoked a whole ten in less than a week and I get the whole taste and reason for smoking a pipe. Thanks for all the great info and keep up the video's. Happy piping
I watched your series and it has helped me be a better pipe smoker! I learned so much! Thank you. Just got my MM wizard from the Cobbit series. Im going to pinch some black Cavendish in it and enjoy the moonlight
Great video; very important information. The principle of getting quality goes for many things in life, too--you want to try a new sport, then buy or rent the equipment the pros use to find out how fun/challenging/whatever it can be, then go from there. I even applied this principle in buying a kitchen dishes brush for my family--I'm tired of crappy brushes that wore out every few months, so I checked out the ones used by restaurants (at a restaurant supply), then bought it on Amazon; works great! I'm a new subscriber, so I hope you have a video(s) on what good premium tobaccos are, how to pick them, etc.
Great video Chris, as always ! I agree with you and I'm glad to have followed the right path... Here in France it's really difficult to find a decent pipe tobacco. You could have a real choice in specialised tobacco shop, in big cities. And tobacco prices increased 10% couple of weeks ago ! That's the European policy to fight against smokers...
Great video! I used to smoke cheap menthol pipe tobacco that would be $2.00 an ounce including tax. That stuff tasted like saw dust. I now only smoke premium pipe tobacco and have never looked back. quality really does make a diffrence in what you smoke.
I quit smoking cigarettes for about twenty years.... But since I've watched the YTPC Iv'e gained interest in smoking a pipe.... Iv'e got two cobs for smoking and some Lane 1-Q... I enjoy your videos very much, they are very encouraging....
Ring the 🔔 . School is in session. Mutt I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge. I have learned so much from you and I suggest your channel on my channel. Great topic . Hope all is well with you and your family. God Bless
I watched your video on the types of tobaccos you like to use while breaking in a pipe. If possible, could you make a step by step video on the proper way to break in a new pipe. There are many videos that explain how this is done, and no two are the same. I'm a new pipe smoker, and really enjoy, and value your opinion. I feel like I'm doing well with the whole pipe process on account of your videos, and your knowledge. Thank you for taking the time to educate on the fine world of pipe smoking. Looking forward to your next video.
Chris your right Quality is not what it used to be!! As with all products you get what you pay for . Most older people you meet smoke Captain Black and blends like that even their quality has dropped . Great video and very important info for everyone . its easy to forget the basics. The history of Tobbaco is a very long and fascinating journey . Thank you my friend for another great lesson !😀😀😀😀😀👍
Scottie dickens - you're welcome my friend, and I agree, especially with the new blends that have come out in the last year or so, it seems some companies are just throwing them out there hoping something will stick. 😏😏😏
A higher quality pipe tobacco will be much better satisfaction. The cheaper tobacco's (no telling what all is in it) will not bring satisfaction, which brings you to smoke more often without achieving quality satisfaction. {{ Very good video }}
I made that mistake myself the first time I bought some tobacco for my first pipe I bought a one pound bag of Cherokee for $12 now I'm buying 50-gram tins for $13.
Because of this video I decided to spend a bit more and bought something of a bit more high quality - Rattray's Blossom Temptation and oh man, what junk have I been smoking before? I'm in nirvana right now. It's very very mild even for someone like me but the aroma is amazing all the way through! Thank you Muttnchop! Only downside is that I now can barely contain myself for the other stuff high quality tobaccos that I ordered!
well i guesse i now know that i am a potential pipe smoker ...lol i quit smoking cigarettes for the final time 8 years ago and have absolutely no desire for them, i am however intrigued by the pipe smoking community and love pipe tobaccos in general, i was just worried that the nicotene would trigger something from the past, BUT after educating myself and being an avid subscriber of yours i am now looking forward to it, i look at it as a relaxation/contemplative hobby and quite possibly a hobby of collection, but a huge thank you goes out to you Chris for doing this video because i was waiting for the cheapest of the cheapest tobacco to fit my budget - i know you said buy the cheapest brair pipe over a cobb, now i know NOT to get the cheapest tobacco, THANK YOU!👊
D - I’m glad you watched this video before you did get some tobacco, there are plenty of good quality tobacco that you can get in bulk that is inexpensive but not cheap. 👍👍👍
soulless my girl got me some for Christmas and asked me if I enjoyed it. Being faced with a very difficult choice I lied and told her it wasn’t too bad.... so she went out and bought another one........
Yes I do agree,one gets what you pay for ,yet I do assume all over the world we do have access to basic Mc Baren Blends of a descent stable quality,& not much of a divercity,though,meantime ,while in america varieties are pretty much endless, thanks for this educational clip, have a nice week Chris, Greets, Paul
Great advice Chris. There are some good OCT blends . Carter Hall & Prince Albert are good examples. But yes do get quality tobacco. To sample the tastes of different tobacco types I suggest one gets some blending tobaccos. these are available on line. Good work . Take care. Jeb
Excellent advice Chris. Unfortunately, some tobacconists recommend the lower grade tobaccos to new pipe smokers, most likely because they are making a higher percentage of profit off the cheap stuff. As soon as I started smoking strictly tin tobacco in the early days, my smoking experience increased tenfold. Another thing that can make it difficult for new pipe smokers, is that tobacconists don't have their tobaccos categorized, and the labels on the tobacco itself doesn't designate tobaccos aromatic or non aromatic. I'm afraid that during the learning process, a lot of new pipe smokers decide that pipe smoking just isn't for them, and they give up the hobby, before they become educated to the differences between tobaccos.
D35611 - I agree, but didn't want to say as much due to it being a controversial topic. The last part of your statement is primarily why I started this channel, guidance is what people crave, so hopefully I am providing good guidance here. 👍👍👍
Smoking Pipes .com post everywhere tobacco ,im living in UK and i love American tobaccos ,with shipping including the tobacco cost me exactly half like that of the domestic
And even if customs nab it occasionally, do lots of small orders and it's cheaper to just reorder than pay the import tax (unless of course your country fines you heavily like in europe!). In Australia it is around $75 a 50g tin. Importing it in and losing 2-3 is still cheaper than buying it locally.
@@tsc-ko1yy More and more often these days. And the choice of what you can buy locally is terrible. Looks like laws are coming in soon where you can get fined for importing tobacco without being a registered importer, which of course means, they will always nab your orders on the way in.... Still cheaper to get it in and pay the duty than it is to buy something local, especially at the reduced range ect.
The duty is $1093 per kilo. The import license is free, but if you don't have one from July it is confiscated. At the moment I'm waiting for a ransom note from Customs.
Willie Johnson - that’s OK, I do these videos to try and make it easier for people to start smoking the right way, if I am successful in that, then I am satisfied with that kind of success. 👍👍👍
Just starting to get into pipe smoking. Bought 2 pipes so far with more to come and I am looking at tobaccos. Theres so much to learn that its a little over whelming. Your videos are top of the line. I am hoping that by smoking a pipe it can curb my cigarette useage
mike hillard - My advice, take them one at a time, watch each a couple of times, put my instruction into practice then move on to the next video, it won’t be long, and you will be a professional pipe smoker if there is such a thing. 👍👍👍
great video and thank you! im new to pipe smoking and have a question: as far as blindly guessing, what or how much an oz. is good pipe tobacco and below what price range is considered cheap tobacco???? and it seems like a lot of discount tobacco stores go more out to have better quality cigars but the pipe tobaccos in the jars seem almost always cheap.........
It may be a cheep brand but I can't put down Carter Hall as a beginner tobacco. Its easy to get easy mechanics, neutral flavor. I agree whole heartedly with you on the aromatics.

New to the channel and loving every minute of this. I assume you have address this before, but, thought I would try. With all the options out there, what is your preferred online market place for tobacco? And, if I may, your preferred brand, if you have one? Thank you, sir, for your time.
Christopher Ramsey - My preferred on line tobacconist is smokingpipes.com, and pipesandcigars.com in that order. I did a video called my favorite tobacco’s of all time, check out that video for my preferred blends. 👍👍👍
Thank you for your video. 15 minutes earleir, I was browsing web of local tabacoo shop and chosing 50g tabacoo for 15€ 😂. Now i understand why is the choice of first tabacco so important. I am potentional smoker and i love tastes like dry earthy red wine, rum or irish whiskey... Can you recomend me some brand or type of tabacoo which i can use as my first??
Nice video! I live in Germany and would like to correct one thing: It is correct that tobacco mixtures are slightly more expensive than in the USA. But they are not as expensive as you say in your little example. It's no problem to get a premium blend here in Germany for less than 15 €. And although the American blends are unfortunately not available here, there is still a large amount of really good blends on the European market. There are even a few small manufacturers that offer blends for less than 14 € for 100 g and these are often quite outstanding.
Hans Dampf - Thanks Hans for the correction, not living in Europe, sometimes I’m ignorant of the facts about tobacco pricing in all areas. A lot of European countries aren’t as lucky as we are when it comes to pricing, sorry for the mistake. 👍👍👍👍
No problem! I like all of your videos very much and I learned already a lot from you. especially the breath-method. So thanks for the high quality of your channel and all the time you invest in it!
Okay, that explained a few things I didn't know. Especially about burley. Thanks. I'm considering a "smoking tour" as it were of the older/oldest over the counter name brands. Prince Albert, Sir Walter Raleigh, Half & Half, and other brands of a similar age. The thought being, they have been around for decades or, in some cases, a century or more. They wouldn't have done that unless they were at least decent. They are also cheap, so there's not a large monetary investment simply to try them. Any advice or recommendations among that type? And is there any commonality in them as far as the type of tobacco? (Aromatic, burley, English etc.) From what I've seen the different brands of tobacco seem like going to a dinner buffet. You just need to keep going back to the steam tables and trying everything till you find what "You" enjoy. then fill up your plate ... or bowl, as the case is, with that favorite. In the same metaphor, is there a dessert tobacco type? Thanks, again.
Hey Chris, great video yet again! You're bang on with the price... In England Tobacco is a crazy Money!! I really wish we had the choice that you guys in the states seem to have too. But as you said, it really is worth buying the good stuff. As I type this, i'm enjoying a bowl of St.Bruno, have you tried it? Anyway, all the Best Chris... take care!
Mark Wilkins - Thanks Mark, it's a shame that you can't order tobacco on line from the states without paying through the nose in taxes, if the government wants companies in Europe to stop producing pipe tobacco fine, but don't punish people if the want to get it from other sources. I have never had St.Bruno flake, I'll put it on the list of tobacco's to try. 👍👍👍
That's exactly it! It's an uphill struggle all the time with everything that's going on. I really enjoy St.Bruno, but I've only tried the ready rubbed, I've yet to enjoy the flake. Is it available in America? If not, just let me know 😉.
+Muttnchop Piper Question: Newbie piper here, but have smoked ciggies, a few cigars and hashish with tobacco for 30 years straight, so I am not new to smoking, just new to smoking pipe. I have watched many of your videos now, and I have learned a lot, I would not have had such a smooth start skong pipe if not for you, so thanks! Now, I need help. I went and got myself a tin of Dunhill Early Morning, and I must say I find it weak and with little flavor (although it gets a little harsh at the bottom of the bowl). It is like a cigarette with some hickory smoke to it (I believe that is from the tobacco called Latakia?). I can easily smoke it, but it does little for me, and the hickory smoke /wet camp fire note is not really interesting to me, at all. So, the question is, where do I go from here? The only pipe tobacco I have tried before this is called Special Dublin Navy Mixture, package does not say by whom, but I think it is also made by the guys at Orlik (I live in Denmark, so many of their products around). That one is sweet and very flavorful with strong prune and raisin notes, and I like it a lot. But I suspect, after watching youtube vids, that it is full of artificial food-grade flavoring, and I kinda dislike that idea. So I would like something that has that deep prune/raisin type taste, but no or little hickory/wet camp fire taste, and no artificial flavor added. Can you tell me what tobacco types I am actually looking for? What tobaccos taste like deep, dark prunes/ raisins? Is there a Dunhill blend to my taste? Please direct a newbie piper in the right direction :) Cheers from Denmark.
Thanks Muttnchop, this HAS to be the problem I'm having. I don't really have any taste of what the tobaccos flavor is supposed to be. How can you tell if you're purchasing a premium tobacco when you're buying in bulk? My brick and mortar has bulk tobacco that I have been trying an ounce at a time. Vanilla, cherry, chocolate nothing. Sounds like there mix might be sub par or my palate hasn't developed yet. Also THANK YOU for making pipe smoking easier for me. Very much appreciated. So glad to become a member of the pipe club. Just joined. Best to you and your family!
Gawith Hoggart Rum Flake is a very good lightly aromatic smoke, i find it deliciously sweet with a bit of that rum flavour through out, allmost vanilla like at times. But as i said, its just lightly aromatic, so you will get plenty of good tobacco taste, with these rum vanillaish notes playing ontop, definitivly worth a try (:
I am from Austria and 50g premium tobacco costs ~ 15$ We dont have the greatest variaty of tobaccos but its not that bad. This year we got Cornell&Diehl/ G.L Pease tobaccos also available. Germany, our neighbors, have some realy small and nice tobacco comanies, like TAK, DAN Tobacco... Plenty to try out and I would say, that the pipe hobby is still very inexpensive, compared to other hobbies.
3:40 same thing happens to me most of the time (not everytime) and I don't smoke cheap tabaccos it's beacause of the burley? Or at least they're not the cheapest stuff... I've got some McBaren and Sail (from Planta)... is it because they are some kind of aromatics?
I have to say I tried your recommendation of night on the town and it's already one of my favorites for this year. Thanks for all the great videos. They have really helped me get back in to/enjoying my pipe smoking experience. Do you have any favorite St. Patrick's day blends? Also what are your thoughts on the spiral packing method (pour the tobacco in to your hand and move the pipe bowl over the tobacco in a circle)? Thanks again for all the time and effort put in to these videos.
Cole Norton - that pleases me to hear my friend, as for St. Patrick's day blends, I'm sorry I really don't have a favorite, something from Peterson perhaps, and I have never tried the spiral method, seems to messy, and I think it could damage the rim of my pipe, just my opinion of course. 👍👍👍
I agree with you totally with you Muttnchop (Chris ) when it comes to tobacco but I would like to add just one thing. Briar pipes can be VERY expensive but on the other hand. Cheap "briar" pipes can be very nasty. These "briar" pipes do not have to be made out of briar wood. Some are made out of pear wood for example and made to look like briar . So, it someone smokes a very cheap nasty pipe with a cheap nasty tobacco they are going to get a cheap and nasty smoke which will leave them with a disgusting taste in their mouth and never smoke a pipe ever again. A good pipe for a "virgin" pipe smoker in my opinion is...... a Falcon. A metal stem which is easy to keep clean and a bowl that is a middle of the road priced briar which will last for years. Here in the UK a Falcon pipe complete with a bowl will cost round about £20.
Good job @Muttnchop Piper! Thank you for all your tips & informative videos. Can you make a video on how to smoke the plug type of tobacco? im often smoke flakes, rubbed and loose cut type. please share your knowledge. please
Hello, I am looking to get into the pipe smoking community after being a cigar smoker for the last few years. I was wondering if pipe tobacco needs to be kept in a humidor much like cigars or what is the proper way to store them?
Muttnchop, I'm enjoying your videos. They have helped get back into pipe smoking from which I had given up on a while back in my early 20's. I'm 2 weeks in now and really enjoying it. I took your advice and bought a low cost briar pipe made in Italy, and started out with a quality tobacco, Frog Morton's "On the Town." I feel I'm ready to change it up. I've been looking at a couple of different "high end" pipes, which I feel I am comfortable with. However, my question is, what tobaccos would you recommend I try next to start creating a rotation. I do not want to get into aromatics just yet until I have a couple of pipes in my collection, so I can dedicate each of them to specific tobacco types. Thanks again and happy piping!
Briar Wolfe - Frog Morton on the Town is an oriental forward English, so if you want to try an array of different types of tobacco, I would suggest you watch "My Favorite Blends of 2016" video where I break down my favorite blends by type. 👍👍👍
Thank you for the tip. I took your advice, watched the video and created my wish list. I received an email that Ol' Gowrie was in stock in the smaller tin, so I got a can and also ordered a tin of White Knight. I am looking forward to trying them out. Thanks again and am looking forward to more videos.
Europe isn't that expensive! 20 euro's will get you 50 grams of premium tobacco. Furthermore there are cheap tobaccos that are great but the problem is finding out which are. So I do agree with you, it is a safer bet just to go with the brand names for beginners. It takes out one variable in the equation. Great topic for a video once again. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely 100%. When I first tried a cigar shortly after graduating high school, I bought a cheap 7-11 brand peach cigar. It was ok, but I only understood the peach flavor. I still was very interested in cigar culture, but it turned me off of it to only getting a stogie a couple times a year. 1 premium Cuban cigar changed my views 180 deg. Just over a year ago, my UK friend introduced me to pipes. However, not knowing much himself, we bought very cheap $5 pipes and tobacco. I remember I bought a honey & cherry "blend". Shortly after the first light, the fruity flavor diminished with scorched sawdust taste for the rest of the bowl (note: I had no idea how to smoke a pipe, just puffed away like a busy chimney) Never touched the pipe again, deeming it incompatible and odd. Fast forward to a couple months ago, met with a friend who also happened to smoke pipes. He was more versed in the methods and recommended my first real tin of baccy, Virginia No. 1. Prepared it in a newly bought quality pipe and drew it in slowly and calmly - absolutely stunning flavors that I didn't know existed. Converted me to a forever pipe smoker if you will right at the moment. Guess my point is that buying quality (though not necessarily expensive) products when trying anything is crucial, as you rightly mention, and it helps to have a buddy to help and learn together along the way. The additional camaraderie is truly nice as well. Sorry for boring anyone with my kind of "realization" rant, words are just flowing out at the moment. Thank you for sharing MuttnChop!
Hi Muttnchop piper. I have never smoked cigars or cigaretts. I bought some pipes from local shop and premium Peterson tobacco: Old Dublin, Sherlock Holmes and Connoiseurs Choice as aromatic. I want to have pleasant smoke with that aromatic, but I am getting only tobacco taste. Can you make video about aromatic tobacco, what is difference in packing and smoking aromatic to natural tobacco... etc... It eould be very helpful for me, because I was very happy with smell from the tin, but smoke was not so good. Marek from Slovakia (europe)
Hey Muttnchop, I hope this finds you well. I have a question that perhaps you can answer. I bought a tin of tobacco that has a very strong soap taste. It's just very, very soapy. It's a C.A.O blend. Not Eileen's Dream. That stuff is great. It a cherry blend. Any idea what might be the cause. Its horrible
For beginners I always recommend Aromatics to start with. They're easy on the pallet and not too overbearing like English blends and Syrian mixtures. But always the higher quality brands.
Thanks for another great video.Going a bit off the subject here but can you give me some advice for cellaring loose tabacco,my local shop has informed me they wont be able to get a particular loose tabacco i really enjoy smoking.
Im in Australia, just bought 50g of Amphora full aroma, it set exactly $125. It's my first tin of pipe tobacco so can't really compare it to anything. But that was 1 of only 3 pipe tobaccos available at my local brick and mortar store.
I start smoke from few mostly Virginia-content blend, actually cheap. Now I prefer mix some not cheapest , good tobacco, mix with locally growned and cooked right here (Ukraine). sometimes I am mixing with aromatic, Danish (it too ultraaroma, for pure smoking, really)
I used to be chewer and cigarette smoker so smoking palidon black cherry was like smoking a cheap cigar or cigarette that was more of a miniature cigar Besides that I smoked more roll your own styles of tobacco which I liked as a more frequent smoke which smoke good in a pipe but just tend to dirty up the shank and make the pipe smell like burnt cigarette Stuff like captain Black and palidon I could deal with and learn to enjoy to some degree Chewing tobacco helped build a good idea of how different tobacco blends can taste from each other So with cigarette smoking reenforced that lesson the same cheap cigars did just the same as cheap taught me a lesson in the same thing as well though it all taught me flavor can tell me about the quality of the tobacco im trying as well
@@MuttnchopPiper your welcome finding the right tobacco is a pretty interesting topic because it often just comes down to experimenting with different blends in my experience
