Re: First pipe
Virginias are the best blends out there, but they are not easy to smoke. They are naturally sweet because they are high in sugar content, so they need to be smoked slowly - I like to say they need to be sipped. If you smoke them to fast they can burn to hot and often develop bitterness.
Of course, if you packed to loosely, that may also have been part of the flavor issue.
