Here's one:
My first pipe tobacco review.
Tobacco: Peter Stokkebye Peaches & Cream 2008
Pipe: MM Cob
Pre-light: I dumped a little out on a plate for 20-30 minutes. I cupped my hands around the tobacco and gave it a giant sniff. It reminded me of peach jam.
Smoking: ok, I must confess. The temperature was pushing 0 and below 0 with wind chill, so I only packed a half bowl. Initial light was quick and easy. I let the pipe settle down and started taking my time. Absolutely no tongue bite. Smooth and light aero. I really didn't get much in the way of peach over the tongue, just slight sweet, but more of a fruity tang. However, I lifted my tongue and I drew the smoke under my tongue and I got more of the peach I was expecting. I would relate it to eating the fuzz or skin of the peach rather than the meat of the peach. Room note was quite nice. Sweet, and slight creamy odor. I don't get much peach from the odor, but my wife picked up on peach when she came outside. Retro hale was gentle and smooth. Tobacco burned well, with a couple re-lights which was probably due to my lack of experience over anything.
This was a good experience and as most aeros I have had, it doesn't have a ton of flavor. I am excited to smoke a couple more bowls to give it a second and third go at it. I was excited to have the opportunity to review this tobacco and I am more excited to smoke more of this blend and the others sent.
Paired with bottle water.
