Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 

I don't really have a single favorite pipe. Certain pipes I dedicate to certain blends I like or certain categories. So it depends what i'm in the mood for that day :r

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 

Only if YOU come to that said concert ;)
Thank you! I'll look into the Cavicci's
Fine fine you win :tu But thanks again :banger

'Bout time bro.:D

That is a great looking pipe. I am partial to Nordings. Good looking, relatively inexpensive good smoker.

Pick up a couple of Dr. Grabow. Just like a cob, only briar.:D

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 

i know you didn't ask me, but thought i'd add :2 since i own a couple of the following as well:
i own 1 rad davis, and have 1 Cavicchi (from VS) and 2 Ser Jacs.
they all smoke equal to, or better than, the rad davis i have.

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 

probably going to snag that Blowfish ;)

NOW i will need some recomendations for Pipe Tobacc for this pup ;)

And maybe some guidelines... I will probably use my other briar for flavored tobacco's then What should i look for to use on my new pipe to keep it " True to form" and only natural tobacco... Do I really need separate pipes If i smoke alot of Cavendish.. or possibly straight burley... Still fairly new to me but im learning thanks guys for allthe help

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 

I bought my first Jirsa about 2 months ago, and I love it. Based upon my experience with this one, and the reviews i have from others, I would not hesitate in buying another.

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 

I must say Thank you! Hearing reviews like this assure me it will be a fine investment indeed !


Looks like you guys that dwell mostly in the pipe forum will be seeing abit more of me after all :banger

Prepare for a Metal Feast!

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 

what have you smoked before and liked?

the bold part in your quote: YES, if you smoke a couple burley blends in a pipe, it can ghost that pipe after only a couple of smokes. i smoked a strong burley blend in 1 of my pipes, thinking it would do no harm with 1 bowl. WRONG, it still tastes like burley at times.
example of what i'm saying: lets say you have a briar straw, and you love grape kool-ade. you drink the same grape flavored kool-ade for a week straight. you rinse the straw after every glass. then one day, you decide to go for kiwi-strawberry. you stick your straw that has a grape kool-ade ghost in it, and take a sip... you taste grape with hints of kiwi-strawberry.

you don't need a pipe for every single blend you smoke, but it's suggested to have at least 1 for the different genres of pipe tobacco you smoke.

some ppl have enough pipes, and a favorite tobacco, they dedicate that pipe to that tobacco - it also helps if the pipe really likes tosmoke that tobacco.

i can't make any suggestions for you until we know what you've had and like or dislike (and why).

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 

thanks for the info, when I'm allowed to spend money again I will take this into consideration. Claudio makes some very nice Lovats and Dublins, two shapes I'd like to add to the stable

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 

What major blends should be divided per pipe is a large question for me now.

I enjoy Ashtons Smooth Sailing, a blend that im smoking right now Bayou Nights. I remember there were a few Peter Stokkebye blends i enjoyed at the cigar lounge in Vegas. Normally they were all blends and at the time i have no clue what was in it ( So maybe suggestions for STRAIGHT tobacco i could search for to really taste the differences.)

Beyond that I really am clueless haha, Cigars I go Ape sh*t for reading articles, listening and learning, also a bit of teaching but Pipe is still a fairly new thing to me.

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 

some shops will let you sample, just ask. so grab a cob and sample their bulk blends. cant hurt to try a different blend when you are there. typing on the wii so this is short.

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 

Not a problem man, Good thinking, i remember doing it at the cigar lounge in vegas haha, Never thought of outside of it

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 

if it's me, my pipes are divided as such

english (anything with latakia), virginias and va/pers, and then I have an aromatic pipe

that's about it. I don't smoke any predominantly burley blends exept for the occasional carter hall or butternut burley (which I classify as aromatic), so I don't have a special burley pipe.

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 

What do you mean by the highlighted.. Other than that Thank you! thats the info i'm looking for :su

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 

Vaper is pipe slang for a virginia/perique blend such as escudo.

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 

Muaha! thanks V.S
HAD not a clue. Do you guys know of anyone that has a fairly decent collection that wouldnt mind selling a bit of a sampler pack of Tobacco, ?

Mainly for the reason to try the different blends ( or Straight styles of tobacco) before i devote my new Jirsa to ONE or another, so i know what i should look forward to in future purchases.


Thanks again!
