Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
are there any Davidoff blends that would be classified as Oriental by chance?
|
Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
http://www.pipesandcigars.com/mcorsa.html so far this seems to look the best.. worth it, or will it be abit crazy on the Oriental hahaha ( and can all of this be smoked in the same pipe, even though they are different in ways... )
and Mclellands has a Cigar blend... Anything worth looking into? Or if i want a cigar lol Should i just SMOKE one |
Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!

as far as cigar blends go, don't waste your time. if you want to taste a cigar, smoke one, as those pipe tobaccos with cigar leaf in them do NOT taste like a cigar. |

\thanks again curly- i never caught your name, Sam here! thanks for all the on going assistance |
Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
I personally like McClelland's Grand Oriental Series. Right now I'm working through a tin of Yenice Agonya and it's pretty good stuff.
I suggest reading through www.tobaccoreviews.com to get an idea of what sounds good to you. |
Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
thats something else i was wondering. if the Grand series was worth it.
thanks Jordan! |

as far as suggestions for McClellands goes, Savvy is dead on with his praise of their Grand Oriental Series. I have enjoyed Smyrna #1 when i've had it, it's on the milder side. another one to consider is their Oriental #14, which is on the stronger side and contains latakia. other tobaccos i'd recommend are: GLP Union Square - a Virginia with plenty of flavor McClelland 5100 - a sweet Virginia sold in bulk only and for when you want to get kicked in the jimmy with nicotine... GH&Co Dark Flake unscented or GH&Co Brown Twist Sliced (or sliced Brown Twist, depending on who you buy it from) - which are both sold in bulk only. for a VA/Per, there's a couple that have a good amount of oomph/in your face flavors GLP Fillmore - this one took me about 3 tins of smoking before i was able to pick up on the subtle sweetness of the virginias, as the perique was so dominant for me A&C Petersen Escudo - my favorite, but seems to be out of stock most everywhere. |
Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
Amazing! Would Both the Orientals be fine to smoke in the same pipe, knowing one is so mild and the other much stronger.
And if i could only pick up 1 Virginia, what would you prefer more. :banger Quote:

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
both would be fine in the same pipe.

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
Just got my order in!
- Margate -Escudo Navy De Luxe -No.14 Oriental -Smyrna #1 -Union Square. After my first puff of the No.14 I knew i could dedicate my new blowfish Jirsa to Oriental. But a quick question, Does anyone know off hand what type of Tobacco Category would these be classified as? -Margate -Boswell Northwood -McClellands Blackwoods Flake And how long till I'm able to smoke a full bowl in this new pipe haha, Can barely keep the whole bowl lit haha |
Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
Pretty much answered my own questions on the blends , Had to do some research ;)

Any specific way on how to pack these, or do you just crumble them up like any other tobac. |
Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!

that's what we call "rubbing it out". :D |
Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!

On the Boswell web page, Northwood is classified as "an English blend." |

Sounds good! So just folding can do the job, Interesting:) Quote:

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
Ribbon is just loose cut, just stuff it in. If you have discs like escudo, either stuff and stack if the bowl is wide enough or fold em and stuff it in. Flakes I just rub out like Greg says and crumble cakes I crumble up :r

unlike cigars, where you clip one end, draw smoke from the other and you're done, pipes can be prepared in different ways. it's up to the smoker to decide through trial and error to see what they like doing the best. to me, the filling of the pipe is the most important thing you're going to do. it takes some practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's second nature. the entire ritualistic movements will all become instinctive over time. you'll hear ppl talk about the frank method, the air pocket method, cubing flakes, fold 'n stuff, 3 tier method, etc. then you see some old phuck that sticks his pipe in a pouch, takes his thumb, and in a matter of 10 seconds, his bowl is filled and he lights it up... there have been times when i've gone on business trips for 2+ weeks where i can't smoke. i get home and it takes me about a week to get back into the swing of packing a pipe pretty good. right now, i don't do any "method" at all, i just fill it up how i fill it, light and go. i'm not in a contest, so i don't really care how many re-lights i have, as long as the tobacco smokes well, i'm good to go. |
Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
thank YOU! IHT!
Smoking some of the No.1 sMYRna right now Think I am leaning towards the no.14 more, With alot of lighter tobaccos i taste a bit if i exhale through the nose, but beyond that its like Hot air.. no flavor. Sense i've been smoking the pipe i havent really smoked much for cigars in a week or so, Does my pallet just need to stick with the Pipe before i can appreciate the lighter milder blends? |
Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!

the Smyrna #1 isn't as "in your face" as #14 (no latakia). Oriental #14 was a fav of mine when i started back with pipes. i could taste it, it had some ooomph to it. a couple months or less later, i started to get some flavors from the milder blends. now that im more experienced, i think it could've been 2 things. first, my taste buds were numb from the cigars, or second, the tobaccos themselves were muted due to not having any time to air out and dry up a bit (just like overhumidified cigars = muted flavors). so, give it some time, in another month or two, you'll be picking up the little flavors you were missing before in the milder blends. they're there, they just aren' there to come smack the taste out of your mouth (figuratively and literally). |
Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
should i open the jars ( i placed all tobaccos into there own glass jars)
and let air out... and possibly what is the ideal humidity... Thanks again! learning so much, so far i guess i'm picking up you can age Pipe tobaccos just as well as cigars, in there own sense, |
Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!

the ideal humidity is up to the smoker. some smoke wetter tobacco than others. some say the ideal humidity is when the tobacco is moist enough for you to still be able to mold it into a ball and for it to spring back. you dn't want it to where you try to bend the tobacco and it breaks like crispy bacon. some tobaccos, like McClelland broken flakes, need prepping as soon as you open the tin before it dries out and you can't prepare it. some ppl take the tobacco straight out of the tin, throw it into a pip and let 'er rip (some tobacco is ready to smoke straight out of a freshly opened tin, most are not). yes, you can age tobaccos just like cigars. best to leave the tins sealed if you want to do that, though. |
Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
Thanks a lot! Hope everyone had a good Halloween

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
So far been smoking Orientals with my new Jirsa, And after trying a few English and Va.pers.. im like DAMN! should i have dedicated that pipe to one of those. Do the flavor profiles of English/ Va.pers go beyond or possibly mold well with an already Oriental smoked pipe...
I have no issue keeping it 100% oriental but If i'm able to switch it SOONER rather than later I'd be a happy man ( still barely any cake.. maybe 5-6 bowls smoked in it) thanks once again guys, Dont worry, I'll be all Learned up in No times, Yes sir'y Bob!:banger |

and Va.pers such as Escudo, and Fillmore... Is there a type of tobacco that would completely mask the original flavors left behind with the few Oriental bowls? Just trying to make the right choice ;) thanks again guys, and Thanks Jordan! |
Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
CONFUSING! lol
Margate is described to contain -Virginia Latakia Oriental and on the Package says... English... sooooo... lol I'm guessing this would smoke great with a light backbone of Oriental, but is this an actual English blend? ( So confusing, maybe someone should just recommend me a good Pipe book before I drive everyone crazy =] ) |
