baccy for a newbie

All coming in my first order are 1-2 oz so I'm not buying a ton of something don't like.

First order was from smokingpipes but I'm thinking I'll try 4noggins for my next. Three Blind Moose is definitely top on my list to try, wish my igloo withstood our january thaw, would have been a good fit for a bowl of Three Blind Moose.

I think you will find 4noggins has some of the best service around! They ship lightning quick as well. Highly recommend them!

I noticed a lot of your order was aromatic, and that is just great for a noobie, but you may find them lacking as compared to your cigars.

As tmoran (glad to see ya brother) stated, FVF is a great full virginia and I highly suggest you get some. Orlik Golden Slices is another fantastic intro into full Virginia's...it also comes a lot drier so it requires less work and prep than the FVF.

I would also like to see you pick up some English/Balkan goodies so you can get acquainted with latakia! A lot of new pipers find that Samuel Gawiths Squadron Leader is a great beginner English, as is Dunhill's Early Morning Pipe. I don't think you can go wrong with either of those...of course if you enjoy bold, full flavored cigars I say skip the whimpy stuff and go straight for some Dunhill Nightcap, C&D Star Of The East, and GLP Abingdon
