Pipe Tobacco favorites

[pugcasso]

I think aromatic tobaccos might get that "smells great" thing... here are a couple

1... MacBaren's Vanilla Creme - I remember just walking on the sidewalk after dark having this and a guy leaving leaving a truck he parked by the sside of the road and walking up to a house said "is that a pipe? That's smells awesome" .

2... Captain Black ... very mainstream and some may put their noses up but it smells good. Some things similar might be the Mac Baren '7 Seas' types

----------------

I usually get non-aromatic tobaccos. I tend to like things with latakia tobacco as part of the mix.

1... King Charles (by JF Germain & Sons , Jersey island)
2... Artisan's Blend (by Ashton)
3... Syrian Latakia Blend (by McLintock)
4... Squadron Leader (by Samuel Gawith)
5... right now have a tin of Peterson's 'Hyde Park' which has rum and maple sugars added (so I suppose it's a bit of an aromatic)

"Erinmore" used to be my thing, I am not sure if you can still get it. I use the tins to carry various bits of fishing tackle in and just occasionally, even after many years, I get a brief whiff of the tobacco when opening the tin. Wonderful!

Erinmore brings back memories, pleasant one's at that! Then I realized that the memories were about 40 years old.

De la concha in NYC makes (and ships) a few aromatics with which I am partial: Ivory Coast; Marabella (my current go-to); and (a sweeter end and pleasant to others in the room) Tropical Mist. For dime store nostalgia, Capt Black is tried and true. As mentioned elsewhere, G.L. Pease and Rattrays labels are top notch. Iwan Ries in Chicago has a stout mail order business and its Three Star Blue has long been a favorite amongst pipe smokers (and has the added benefit of being extremely well-priced).

I haven't lifted a pipe to my lips in over thirty years but the talk brings me back, thanks for the memories.

I personally like Gwaith and Hogarth's American Cherry and Vanilla. Dunhill Flake is good too.

I've heard good things about Carter Hall and Sir Walter Raleigh, I'm looking forward to trying those when I make it to America.

I don't know about room odor, but I will say that I prefer to smoke a Balkan. As a cigar smoker, too, I find that many pipe tobaccos don't have enough flavor for me, but Balkan sure does and it's nice.

My choice for about the last 20 years has been Prince Albert ( in the can - LOL). Smells good and is cool burning with no bite unlike the "perfumed" tobaccos. It's also well priced and available about everywhere. And there is a reason for this - it's great!

You fellows are making me hanker for my pipe which I (wisely, it appears) gave up thirty years ago!

After quiting cigarettes a half dozen times, only to gain a lot of weight and then have to have a cigar ( Swisher Sweet's - LOL) out camping with my whisky. I went the less toxic pipe route.

Have a tobacco shop in my hometown mall and I have them blend me a 1 and 3 ratio of dark vanilla and indian summer... great for me but here is a link to a review of some of the finest on the market... hope this helps.
