[QUOTE="kilted1, post: 56951, member: 540"] I agree whole heartedly ! Some pipe clubs I've participated in used to do blind tastings of blends. The best way to do this, and it can be lots of fun if you want to participate, take a couple of blends. Have some one devise a method to keep record of what blend A, B, C are and empty the contents of the tin, pouch or whatever into separate un-labeled tobacco jars . Come up with a universal 'rating form' which standardizes 'rating criterion'. Then you smoke the blend without presuppositions of what it is you are smoking. It's sometimes amazing to observe the results! Sometimes 'well respected' blends don't fair so well, or ideas of what the blend is composed of can vary widely. Like it or not prejudices exist, whether one is talking blends, blenders or pipe carvers. We have our Dunhill, Castello, Danish Pipe carver lemmings, don't let anyone fool you. I think you will find the world of pipes infinitely more complex and varied than the world of cigars. This isn't to say one is 'better' than the other, its just that there are way more variations in the world of pipes and tobacco blends than there are in cigars. :pipe: [/QUOTE]
