Nice another pipe smoker

nice to meet you piper! what kind of pipe tobacco do you like to smoke?

@vitalis
Mostly Virginia flakes, not a lot of choices in Indonesia

can't go wrong with straight virginia!

do you like aromatic cavendish tobacco made from virginia and burley flakes?

@vitalis
That's where I buy my pipe tobacco!

I stay away from aromatics; less flavor + harder to dry. Sometimes I dry my tobacco in my food dehydrator lol. Pretty much had to retire my briars since moving out here, sadly. Corncobs still do okay when it's >95% humidity.

I like smoking the more flavorful tobacco at home with a corncob, but if I’m out and about or smoking in my car I prefer smoking aromatics out of a briar since the smell it leaves behind is never disagreeable to nonsmokers. do you think a meerschaum pipe would smoke well where you are?

@vitalis
I have 4 or 5 meerschaums. They perform better than the briars I brought over but the cobs are still king.

hard to beat cobs! you can abuse them as a daily smoking pipe and they will always perform

@vitalis @sampler

Also the lowest bullshit of all the pipes
