    Smoke em if ya got em

    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.

    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.

    Erinmore is definitely still available in both flake and mixture (ribbon cut). I had a pipe of the flake tonight. Interesting flavor; different from most of the VA/burley flake I've had, but VERY good.

    I'm a pipe smoker, have been for a few years now.

    I've got quite a varied taste in tobacco, smoking anything from heavy aromatics to Carter Hall (when I can get it over here!) I'm not a massive fan of English blends but I like the occasional bowl.

    As for pipes my collection is varied there also, I do like Corn Cobs though.

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

    I am an occasional pipe smoker and have been since quite young. Now days, I tend to smoke tobacco that I grow myself in the garden and cure. The last few pipes I have had, however, I have been smoking a Balkan flake that a friend left at my place on Burns Night.
