[QUOTE="pistolero, post: 543438, member: 1313"] Welcome to the brotherhood. You should be able to find something that doesn't taste like a cigar, for sure. Don't really know what "Jim's Blend" is, so not much to go on there except you said it's supposed to be French Vanilla. I personally like a good vanilla cavendish in general, but of course they can vary quite a bit.

That could be somewhere to start. Keep in mind one thing is the first few smokes in new briar will be tainted to one extent or another by the wood. I've had new pipes that were just fine, nothing unpleasant. And I've had a couple you couldn't taste anything but a strong, unpleasant, greenish briar wood taste at first. Regardless, the taste will change after it starts to break in. [/QUOTE]
