[QUOTE="mejoshee, post: 339229, member: 3144"] I've enjoyed most tobaccos so far, blends commonly found as ribbon, flake and somewhere in between. I've smoked cigars before and have a relatively high nic tolerance, but I don't like feeling knocked on my @$$. I tend to favor Italian-made pipes, but have a varied collection that includes Danish and English makes as well as those from our own Brian (Growley) and Scottie (scotties22). Being young in my piping, I also consider myself open minded to other makers, but I am certainly identifying my personal aesthetic for the pipes and my comfort level of expenditure on them. I enjoy VA and English blends, but there's room for aros and I have not had everything under the sun. I don't claim to be an expert in understanding the subtler differences between types of VAs or Orientals. I don't tend to like burley, but I need to continue trying it to really make 100% certain why and whether or not it's simply imaginary. My approach will be more of that of a wine/spirits taster in that I will discuss the physical appearance and smell, then follow with the flavor impressions. I am not intending to get into the technical construction or the presentation of the tobacco per se, but I may comment on it if it seems interesting to me. I talk a lot! :P [/QUOTE]
