Thinking that topic will get someone's attention.
Ok, Some of you older members know me, I don't post much anymore, since I got out of the trading game. . .
But I am a long time cigar smoker, and tried the pipe once before and gave it up as it just didn't seem to be my thing. However, I've aged some now, and have lots of nice days in the Carolina's and now working from home, I'm going to give the ole briar a try again, partly as something to do and try, and partly because my taste in cigars is too expensive for all of the smoking time I have.
As such, wondering if any of you pipe smokin vets might have some suggestions for me to try and make this transition. My cigar likes tend to be LFD double ligero, WOAM, Liga Privada(don't know if my cigar likes will help here, but might point in a direction.) I know I didn't particularly like aromatics that were too sweet before. I like the tobacco taste. I also want something that will be fairly straight forward to learn to pack a bowl with, so thinking things like cake tobacco are better to save until later. .
Anyway, looking for ADVICE ONLY here. Some recommendations that I can go look for.
