Hello all,

I have been creeping on this forum for the last few weeks and decided to finally join in on the fun. I am a very new smoker having only discovered pipes in the past few months but I have been smoking cigars for a number of years. The beautiful craftsmanship of fine pipes drew me to learn more. In any case, I greatly look forward to learning from all of you and sharing my experiences.

Cheers,
Patrick

Welcome aboard

Pipes are waaaaay better. From a taste/flavor point of view. So many more options. And I'm not talking about flavored tobaccos (yak!). Taste a VA and then a Burley and then an English and you'll see what I mean. All great in their own way and all so very different. You just can't beat that.

Add on top of that what you've already learned - the love of the craftsmanship in creating the briar and you've got a huge win over cigars.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy an occasional cigar too ... but its about 99 to 1 pipes to cigars for me.

Welcome Aboard, Patrick...

I don't smoke cigars, but if you ever long for some cigar leaf, there are blends that contain cigar leaf that you might enjoy now and then.

I have never heard of Latakia being used in a cigar before. Its amazing how different the blending tobaccos used really are. Totally different flavor profiles.
