I've not smoked a pipe since the mid-90's, but I've been a cigar smoker for nearly three years now. With the cold weather on it's way, I decided to revisit pipes, as it's much easier to enjoy a 20-minute bowl of tobacco than an hour-long cigar standing out in the cold. Yesterday, I stopped by my local tobacconist and purchased a Missouri Meerschaum and a ounce of loose tobacco. I told the salesman I prefer full-bodied cigars, and asked for a recommendation based on that. He directed me to try their Black Cavenish blend, so I took his advice and left with an ounce. Smoked my first bowl of it yesterday evening. Long story short, it smelled marvelous... but was virtually tasteless, even after removing the paper filter in the pipe.
This considered, might someone recommend a tobacco flavorful enough to peak the interest of a full-bodied cigar smoker? Is there such a thing? Thank you in advance...
