Smoke em if ya got em

[BadenochWolf]

Just curious as to what the nicotine-inclined members of the rabble are puffing on these days. I got into pipes about a year ago, and have recently made the jump from aromatic/flavored stuff to Va/Per and flake/rope. While browsing here, I was puffing on Nording Beagle, a VaPer broken flake in my favorite briar. What's your poison?

A pipe smoker too but I don't get exotic at all. I don't smoke a name. I prefer it straight and generic.
No flavors, no aromatics.
My pipe is almost always filled with a mixture of 1/2 Virginia shade and 1/2 Cavendish.
Some call this black and tan but it can usually be found under a variety of names in almost every tobacco shop.

Yep , black and tan .

In the days when I used to smoke a pipe, "Erinmore" was my choice. I am not sure if it is still available, but I keep some of my fishing flies in some of the old tins and the wiff of that wonderful tobacco still catches my nostrils when opening up the tin, even after all this time.

I have smoked a pipe off and on for over 30 years. At one time I felt I was smoking too much and it was impacting my health. I stopped entirely for about five years. It really was not hard, I don't think I developed the full physical tobacco addiction that cigarette smokers are afflicted with. However, I continued to miss the comfort of my pipe so I decided I would start again but only treat myself on very special days. I now basically only smoke when I am fishing or hunting (shooting).
I smoke a Canadian blend called Muskoka Mixture which i beleive is based on a Danish style. My father was a pipe smoker and like Jock smoked Erinmore. I have a couple of his old pipes which I smoke occasionally. Though he has been gone for well over twenty years in the first puff or two from his old pipes I can still taste the Erinmore flavour with which they are infused. I have bought it and tried to smoke it but it is too powerful for me.

Thousands of years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I too smoked Erinmore. Later I smoked a locally blended tobacco called Black Orchid, but it's been over thirty years and while I still enjoy the scent, I couldn't stomach the taste.

Although I'm on the coffin nails right now, I've smoked pipes off and on since I was a teen. Like others that have posted, I stay away from the heavy aromatics (am I the only one that doesn't like the term "aromatic?") but a little non-tobacco flavor adds variety. I like Dunhill Early Morning Pipe and and I've been trying several Sutliffe Reserves, R-Blend being one of my favorites.

I know that there are several X-Markers that live in and around Atlanta, GA. If you were ever at Edward's Pipe Shop and noticed a picture of a young man in a Cunningham kilt, well, that'd be me! Worked there for about four years or so. I worked the Edward's booth at the very first Stone Mountain games as it happens.

I started pipe smoking with forty after a decade of cigar experiments...
Prefering english mixtures and natural virginas my daily smoke is a self made mixture of a lightly whisky-flavoured virgina called "Sweet Dublin" and a quarter of spicy latakia.
From a small german manufacturer in the north (Lauenburg) i get a tobacco called "Bulldog Golden Flake" with a soapy note in the beginning (typical for irish tobacco as I heard)...very interesting too.

I too used to be a pipe smoker, and still have my collection of 20-30 briars. I was fond of Erinmore, but also enjoyed Amphora Black Cavendish and Captain Black. Both had a significant amount of Latakia in their blend.

Penzance, Presbyterian Mixture, and Marlin Flake back when I used to smoke a pipe. Frog Morton when I wanted something sweet.
