You want it as low to the bottom as possible.

My wife took me down to the Tobacco shop this weekend and I gathered up my selection of 2oz baggies of smoke. I was disappointed to learn my Dunhill Early Morning Pipe Tobacco was discontinued.

I did grab
Midnight
Alaborg
Blueberry Muffin

Im not one for wild flavors but the Blueberry Muffin is off the hook.

I agree a cup of French Roast makes it all taste a little better

Hrmm.. Jack, when you're back let me know if you want some of the Dunhill Early Morning or Nightcap. I managed to get a couple of tins of this. I did try to find some Chinese made pipes when I was in Beijing but couldn't find a store (if I wanted Chinese cigarettes that was no problem but cigars and/or pipes were hard to find).

Hello fellow cigar smokers!

I started smoking cigars to have something in common with my mate at the time. Come to find out, I like it! I prefer coffee infused cigars, the latest one is Isla Del Sol (I think)...it is smooooth and tastes soooo good. I've also come to realize I prefer lighting my cigars with a match rather than a lighter, it just tastes better.

Ah.. you might like Drew Estates' other coffee/chocolate ones: Tabak Especial.

And yes, on the matches. Although a good butane lighter also works well (these are different than the disposal lighters which leave a fuel after taste)

I enjoy aromatic blends most of all. English blends are a definite no. And the non-aromatic blends are just ok.

Anyone else?

This may sound like a stupid question, but I've only smoked cigars, never a pipe. So, what's the difference between a pipe and a cigar? I'm interested in getting a pipe and I like coffee flavored tobacco, what kind of tobacco would anyone suggest?

Linus- thanks for the head up on this thread (Did a search, but nothing came up.).

My fave cigar to date is the Diesel Shorty Unlimited. Also like Ghurka (Dragon and Evil). Also, the Man O War Ruination is tasty. I will usually smoke a Maduro and especially Oscuro. Definitely want to have some food in your belly with those Oscuro.

A good wheat ale or IPA makes a nice cigar companion...

Will check out your blog!

I inherited over 100 pipes from my Grandfather so I've been sampling different tobacco with different pipes... I'm not much into the fruity flavors- lean towards leathery, woody varieties.

Great thread!
