I went to the local across town today and picked up pic related. The guy that doesn't even work there and just smokes in the leather armchairs with all the other dudes who rang me up got to talking some shit and it reminded me of this old chestnut.
Why do cigar smokers always go for an aromatic first? Considering that they really fucking hate aromatic cigars. What would anons hand off to a more experienced smoker to show him what's unique about pipes?
I'd go with a VaPer or straight Virginia bend. That or something bold and weird like anything with a dark Kentucky in it. Although this VaBur with deertongue and hint of perique is like an uplifted, craft beer version of a grandpa blend in a pouch. Very mild and subtle but the tin and what I assume is the room note is heavy on vanilla and honey. It has some sweetness and spice you can actually taste and I don't know what's topping and what's deertongue. This is very nice, would rec if you're looking for an "aromatic" that actually tastes like what it smells like.
Damn this gentleman caller is good. I just relit and got that initial burst of whatever the sweet note a lot of other things try to fake is.
>>2702690>Got this just because the deertongue was weird and interesting. I actually really like it and could see this being a nice occasional smoke. The deertongue is quite mild and changes note through the bowl (vanilla, anise, mint). A pleasant surprise.That describes it perfectly. It's like eileen's dream, but without that harsh aromatic burn.
