I think there are just a few of us in here that smoke the pipe. I am not sure if I have ever seen a pipe trade or bomb on here.

It might be a small pass but throw me in if you do one. I would be more than happy to jump on that train.

I think Rex is probably right.. Will likely be a small pass... But could be fun....

HECK YES! Im a Pipe n00b. Thats kinda why I wanna do this. To learn about the different tobaccos everyone likes. Plus I thought it would be a blast to do the first Pipe box pass.

 

[Soundwave13]

I'd be in for this.

Before I say I would be interested
How would this work? I'm interested but unsure how it works with pipe tobacco.

I picked up a pipe "starter package" from CI about a month ago and appreciate that I can enjoy tobacco without eating up hours in the cold but I haven't a clue as to what tobacco is what. If you guys can point me in the right direction maybe I can join in on the next pass. Thanks.

Im afraid im not much help. Im new at this also. Kinda why I started a Pass. I picked up a bunch that was recommended to me, stuck it in a box and sent it to several good brothers to pick thru and send me back some different stuff for me to try.

my best recommendation is to smoke what you've got right now... most starter packs come with a pretty diverse set of blends... and just take note of which ones you like, which ones you dont care for, etc..

pipes are much like cigars.. everyones tastes are different..

I would focus on making sure you pack, light, and tamp your pipe properly while youre getting started with the hobby.. tongue bite, relights, most other "problems" that frustrate pipe smokers.. all stem from packing/tamping/lighting problems.. once you get that down, you will be able to enjoy the actual tobacco more, and spend more time focusing on what your likes and dislikes are..

some people love aeromatics.. some stick to straight virginias and english.. some like flake.. some like ribbon.. etc..etc.. your options are diverse.. much like cigars.....

While I've got cigars mostly figured out in terms of what I like, dont, etc.. I still try "new" stuff all the time... even if it doesnt fit my profile... every now and then I end up absolutely hating something and tell myself I should have known better.. but occasionally I find something completely outside of my profile that I really dig... and remind myself thats why I keep trying new things..

Pipes are different for me.. I pretty much like it all... I just enjoy some blends better than others.. there have only been a couple of blends that I have zero interest in ever smoking again...

Pipe tobacco, like cigars, have varying degrees of vitamin N, some have mild flavor profiles, some will kick you in the teeth, etc...

Its all about trial and error..

Once you get past your starter kit.. I think a good way to go about things is to stick with a couple of well known brands (Davidoff, Dunhill, Mac B, etc...)... and get a couple of things at totally opposite ends of the spectrum.. like maybe a tin of nightcap and a tin of early morning.. and see what you think...

Thanks, lots of new things to research. Call me strange but a visual of a flaky English virgin wearing nothing but ribbons and smoking a pipe did pop into my head.

 

[ZipTie]

Mike we all know you're strange, but not because of that statement. :rolling:

Cheers :ccool:

Count me in. Are you thinking like 2 2oz bags or something along those lines?

The pass is already ongoing. I originally posted this up in the pipe section to gauge interest. As per a moderator, the pass was officially posted up in the marketplace pass section. Im sure this wont be the last one. Working on an idea for the next one now. I honestly didnt think I would get as much interest as I did. Next time I will post it up in the Marketplace for all to see and maybe post a little note here in pipes directing anyone interested to the thread.
