Gents,
I'm a bit new to this hobby. Been smoking a pipe on and off for about 3 years, although now I'm really starting to get more into it. At first I was smoking some pretty mild blends, which didn't excite me too terribly much. Probably why it never really stuck. But I've been smoking Nightcap recently, which I absolutely love, and I picked up some Irish Flake which I also enjoy.
I'm not 100% fluent with all the terminology, but could someone perhaps help describe the Esoterica blends? I know Penzance and Stonehaven are difficult to come by. Are any of the other blends worth trying? I don't have a whole lot of point of reference, but I really do enjoy the 2 blends mentioned. Are any of the blends somewhat similar to either of these?
Thanks so much for your thoughts and time
