I am a musician by trade and needless to say, a pipe smoker by hobby (it would be interesting to be a professional pipe smoker.) I am new to the pipe and this website has been a great help in purchasing new tobaccos.

I don't review tobaccos that I cannot finish at least a small pouch of. There are so many great tobaccos to sample out there that I don't have time (or money) to waste!

one star: good enough to finish, but not to buy again (would be happy to recieve as a gift)

two stars: enjoyable and recommended

three stars: pure pleasure

four stars: transcendently good

Most of my pipes are inexpensive but varied enough in shape and size, allowing me to explore the different ways tobaccos respond to different pipes.
