So, I'm thinking about getting a pipe to smoke the scraps left over from rolling cigars. I've used them to make short filler cigars, but the results are less than stellar, but I hate to throw away perfectly yummy tobacco.

Good idea? Bad idea? Crazy idea?

Thanks!
Well it SOUNDS like a great idea but I've smoked cigar pieces in a pipe several times and never did like it. I wanted to like it but... It seems to want to bite for some reason and never tastes all that good. But of course you'll probably be smoking the legendary Guten tobacco so your mileage may vary.

However, you absolutely SHOULD get a pipe anyway. Just so you can see for yourself. Just add a few ounces of decent pipe tobacco to the order. If you can find some G&H Brown Twist Sliced in stock, that's a very cigary tasting blend. I just burned a bowl last night. Probably not the best for a pipe n00b tho, it's a seriously strong blend and it requires some very slow sipping to get the flavor out of it. There are myriad of blends out there tho for when you give up on the cigar scraps.
