Well, I pretty new to pipe but I have tried a lot of blent...i remembered some1 told me to store the leaves in the fridge for a day, and then take it out n let it air for a day or 2 in a room to bring out the aroma. is this true?
or did i got that wrong?
I may not be good in this and hopefully I can help a little with my experience.
Everyone have their own taste. Like everyone do.. I start with Captain Black aromatic tobacco. I tried a few bowl and find out it is too dry for me.
So what I do is I visit tobaccoreview(dot)com and I manage to see a blent with very good review. The brand name is McClelland, Frog Morton.
Without considering, I went to the tobacco store near my place and request for information on this.
The shop keeper keep on telling me that Frog Morton are for experience pipe smoker and not for beginner like me since Frog Morton have Latakia Tobacco which normally a beginner with dislike. I insisted and make my purchase of McClelland, Frog Morton Cellar.
Open the tin of Frog Morton Cellar and I smell BBQ!!! Try a couple of bowl and I am stuck into it!!! Sweetness from Virginia and some sour from Latakia... This is my very 1st English Blent and I say bye bye to Aromatic Tobacco once and for all...
Until current, I still stick with McClelland Frog Morton series (Frog Morton, Frog Morton Cellar, Frog Morton on the bayou, Frog Morton on the town & Frog Morton across to pond). I have tried McClelland straight virginia blent (Christmas Cheer Year 2012) which is pretty much sweet but you need to actually leaving it a few months to get the great original tobacco sweetness from the blent.
When I am poor, I go for Peterson since it is much more cheaper comparing to McClelland. (McClelland - RM55 50g Tin & Peterson - RM36 50g Tin).
As for Peterson I personally tried Sunset Breeze, University Flake & Old Dublin. Sunset Breeze is a good blent which is suitable for mostly all newbie..
As for University Flake, it is a pretty good virginia tobacco but I personally prefer McClelland, Christmas Cheer over this. As for Old Dublin, it is pretty much same to McClelland Frog Morton but a little less sweetness.
Please note that the sweetness I mention are not those aromatic sweetness. The sweetness I mention is the original tobacco sweetness which you can taste with you tongue (A little bit of honey sweetness hitting your tongue when you puffing the smoke).
Hope this helps...
