Maybe a PIF?

One the hubs smokes that I really enjoy the room note is Crown Achievement. I also like Labrador and Saratoga Summer. But that's from the other side of the pipe....

Well I tried a tin of CAO black. It was pretty good. Then I ordered a Tin of Peterson 3P's it was one solid little brick. How are you suppose to shave it off to put in the pipe? Also picked up a tin of Solani aged Burley flakes. This tobacco came in small sheets. Just took a peri of scissors and cut it up. Broke down and bought a real pipe and ordered a few more tins including Seattle Mississippi Mud and Peter Heinrich's dark strong. Why do you tamp the ashes down?
Think this is going to be very enjoyable.

Get you a nice SHARP knife,I use a razor knife,and just shave thin flakes out of that 3P plug.I usually shave the entire plug up and jar it in a small half pint.When you're ready to smoke it just rub it out good.........sometimes I cut cubes up out of the flakes and drop them in the pipe.Don't pack them.......them little suckers swell up upon combustion.Those other flakes,Solani and the dark strong,just rub them out or fold and stuff.Just remember if you fold and stuff don't overload the pipe........it'll swell up.

I got myself a cheapo briar and pouch of Captain black white that i have been working through and would like to setup a trade with one of you fine experts. Just to get an idea of some of these other blends.

This seems like a deep hobby to dig into and would like some guidance on where to start and get an idea of the different blends from experienced individuals.
