Attention New Pipers: Even The "Vets" Struggle Sometimes!

[Emperor Zurg]

I read things like the following on tobaccoreviews all the time...

In Reference to a particularly obnoxious gooper:

Anyways I was pleasantly surprised when I could actually taste a bit of chocolate and the cherry was just perfect. Burns well with no relights, not too moist and requires no drying out. No tongue bite and a very mild smoke. I can't recommend this tobacco enough especially for novice smokers and aromatic lovers.

Same story all the time: ...moisture was perfect right out of the tin, burned right to the bottom with no relights, didn't bite, no dottle, dry in the bottom of the pipe... blah blah blah blah....

Complete and utter BULLSHIT!!!

That particular quote was in regards to PS Cherry Bonbon. Granted, I do like the stuff once in a while but it's an awful gooper, PG soaked to the max. Right out of the tin/bag it simply WILL NOT BURN and if you try, it will barbeque your tongue. Maybe the guy's delivery truck broke down in Death Valley for a week and the stuff dried out, I don't know but I do know when I get the stuff you can practically wring out the moisture.

Moral of the story; dry your tobacco and don't believe the fantasy reviews.
