One of the complaints I have against aromatics is that they are almost invariably low on Vitamin N. Mixing them with something like PA or 5100 does tone down the flavoring and make for a better smoke, but once again, no nicotine. I've recently started thinning my overabundance of free samples...

I am curious about aging aromatics? I have a few that are about 5-6 years old aro's. My question would be, do they retain the flavor or does that go away over time? if it does, i guess i should start trading away my aromatics and smoking more of them :p

Many of the puffers would faint, like the woman in the old Smuckers commercials hearing, "Could somebody pass the jelly?" Knowing everyone's estimation of me will find a new nadir, I shamelessly admit to a period where I smoked bowl after bowl of Three Blind Moose, and LIKED IT! I even wrote a...

In my memory, I can smell the cherry and rum that my grandfather smoked, and since those are very popular scents, I'd call them classics. What other classic aromatic scents are there besides rum and cherry? Thanx, Christopher the Newbie

I have one leather pouch, a cheap but serviceable, vinyl lined, two pocket rollup. When I go out, I take this pouch and a cob or the Bari Dana (smallish pipe), since I don't really want to gag the public at large with, say, Balkan Sasieni. This time I'm getting ready to top it up...

I've got a few aromatics that I don't smoke that I'd like to see go to better use. Holler if you want some. •MacBaren Mixture Scottish Blend - 3.5 oz. •MacBaren Vanilla Cream (loose cut) - 3.5 oz Both MacBarens have been in jars since December 2009, and I've barely opened them during that...

What is it exactly that classifies a tobacco as an aromatic. At first I assumed that all the flavored tobaccos in big jars at the B&M were aromatics; the cherry, nougat, apple, rum etc. I still assume that these are indeed all aromatics. But are other non-flavored tobaccos also considered...

Don't know if this has been brought up yet. Other states are considering different bills. From Tobacconists Say Utah Legislators Head for Unintended Consequences with HB0170 "Salt Lake City, Utah (Vocus/PRWEB) February 12, 2011 The unintended consequences of HB0170 for professional...

Hey there pipe smokers! I've posted over here in this side of the forum a couple times and you have been gracious to answer questions. The majority of my time is spent in the cigar forums but I have recently picked up smoking a bit of pipe and a couple recommendations. I'm very occasional...

Not a big fan of flavorings in my tobacco but maybe someone out there is. I have Tinder box Chartwell , WO larson old fashioned with the fancy 100g tin and Troost special cavendish in pouch. Everything has been opened except the Troost which is sealed. Also have a couple ounces of Peterson...

I read on here somewhere that pressed Meer is more resilient to ghosting. True or not? If so I was thinking about trying to find a pressed Meer for the sole purpose of smoking Aromatics out of. So one type of aromatic doesn't impart too much flavor on another. Is this just a silly idea? If not...

I need to move off of aromatics but I want to take baby steps in doing so. Anybody have any recommendations as to tobaccos that aren't too bold and won't have my family complaining about the odor? It should also be a tobacco that is readily available at most B & M's. Thanks.:whistle:

I have a few Boswell aros in mason jars and was wondering how well they will keep?

So after my two day run of bad experieces with Mixture #79, I decided to give aromatics one more go with a tin of Stanwell Melange, since I wanted the pipe that I got in the starter kit to be broken in with aromatics. Well, after letting it sit to dry for about 2.5 - 3 hours, I filled the pipe...

What are your recommendations? Thanks

Being new to this whole pipe thing, I'm still exploring various tobaccos. One thing I noted, besides really enjoying a sample of Full Virginia Flake that commonsenseman so generally sent me, is that I'm enjoying some "light aromatics"/cavendish blends that I've tried, namely Old Dominion from...

I just had a quick question, are aromatics designed to be sweet for newbies? Do any experienced pipe smoker have any particular one they still smoke? Is there a highly prized aromatic?

I suspect that most seasoned pipe puffers started out with an aromatic or at the least a very neutral baccy before moving on to stouter, headier stuff. Some continue to smoke aromatics, and those that no longer do can in some cases become snots about their superior prejudices for English...

Here's the deal. This is a straight giveaway, I do not want, nor will I accept anything in return. Ideally this will go to an under funded student or someone who is between jobs. If you do not absolutely love aromatics please pass this by as it is a substantial amount of aromatic tobacco. I have...

To the experienced pipe smokers I apologize in advance if the answer to this question seems painfully obvious but I'm still very new to the pipe. So far I have only one good pipe, a Peterson, that I have smoked only Va's in. Soon the USPS, in it's plodding fashion, should be depositing a new...
