Cigar smoker since ‘91 and gravitated to strong cigars in ‘93. Cigar boom ‘97 hit and moved to pipe and cigars through 2004. Pipe first loves were Dunhill London Mixture, Nightcap, Frog Morton and Frog Morton on the Town. After going back to strong cigars I picked up the pipe again in 2007 and smoked more Virginia/Perique blends and Virginia/Burley blends. Back to cigars for 3 years and strong cigars killed my tastes buds and started smoking milder cigars such as Viaje, Crown Heads and Warped Corto’s. Went full time back to pipe in 2018 with Virginia/Perique and Virginia/Burley and discovered my love of straight Virginia’s. On a whim I discovered higher quality aromatics from The Country Squire and Boswell’s and added those into the routine during the winter months.
