After smoking cigars for years, always hearing how bad it smells and why don't you just smoke a pipe I decided to start smoking a pipe and absolutely love it. Remember that all reviews are just my personal opinion derived while sitting out on my front porch smoking said tobacco and what you may like or not like probably is different based on your own experience. I have neither the budget, palate nor knowledge to review expensive brands so I am only reviewing the OTC, tins, or bulks brands I prefer and smoke all the time - enjoy.
