Looking for some tobacco for a noob....

[droy1958]

I just bought a bunch of estate pipes. I'm wanting to keep a Short Snorter and need some noob tobacco to try. Somebody send me a little tobacco to try and let me know what the bill is and I can send Paypal. I just don't want some drug store crap to try....
Thanks,
David

You make it super difficult to bomb you when you don't have an address in your profile

Also, what is drug store crap? There are many fine tobaccos available OTC.

If U PM me your address, I can send you a couple samples.

Re drug store pipe tobaccos, I think this point is this - it's not like cigars. Pretty much any cigar that you buy from a drug store or anywhere not in a humidor, is going to be junk. But with pipe tobacco, there's a much wider range of tastes among pipe smokers, and also a much wider range of what an individual pipe smoker would consider good tobacco. So this would include OTC pouch tobacco in many cases.

I'm not much into pouch tobacco as it's often aromatic and heavy on the cavendish, which is not my taste, and it tends to be overly damp with humectant, but of the 40 or 50 jars/tins in my cabinet, about 4 or 5 are pouch tobaccos.

I'm with Bruce.
There are a couple of OTC blends that I like, but not many. If you like cavendish heavy blends great, but I can't stand them.
If I'm in a Burley mood (not often) I'll have some PA or Carter Hall. I also have a pouch of John Bull which is an English blend that I haven't opened yet

Other than that, I don't care for them. But hey, to each his own. Others like them just fine and that is great.

What are your tastes in cigars? If we know that we may can recommend some blends for you.

I gotcha'. Thank you for the explanation on the pouch tobacco as I'm learning. I still can't figure out which end to put in my mouth....

I prefer CT Broadleaf wrappers, if that helps....
