Hi Guys,
Tim from Dayton Ohio. I just dug out some of my dear grandfathers pipes this week. Decided to hit a local smoke shop, get some pipe tobacco and give them a whirl. I am enjoying it. I started with an ounce of an "aromatic blend" (African Queen) which is described as 'aromatic burley's blended with mild English tobaccos.' I saw a post by someone who said that smoking aromatics made them feel like they were smoking an air freshener! I have always loved the smell of pipe tobacco being smoked, so the name 'aromatic' drew me in... please drop two cents in on the subject... is that just a misleading name? Are the English tobaccos great smelling when smoked too? (I REALLY detest the smell of cigarette smoke... so, keep that in mind).
I'm looking forward to learning alot from this group and to beginning my own pipe collection. I'm drawn to the idea of a nicely styled churchwarden, as I enjoy smoking the pipe while reading and having the bowl a bit further from my eyes seems appealing.
Well, I was glad to find this forum.
Thanks for having me.
