Seeing a few more fresh faces here. I thought I would throw out a small tip when smoking. We all love to see the clouds of smoke when enjoying out pipe. While impressive, it might be doing your tobacco a disservice. I would encourage smokers to try sipping the tobacco and not letting it burn as hot. Perhaps this will draw out a bit more flavor for you.
I just had a sublime bowl of Watch City Cigar Nor'Easter. Now this is a blend that i kinda put in the "discard" section. Ill smoke it till its done, and probably wont rebuy. BUT, today i took it really slow and steady and I had an explosion of flavors. This basically jumped the blend back up to the restock section when I am out.
The true can be said for many Virginia tobaccos.
So if you find a blend that isnt doing much, try a slower approach.
