<2021-10-08T20:50:33.000Z> creek: What blends do you like? Any recs? Favorite pipes? Been smoking for about 3 years now and always eager to pick another pipe smoker's brain.
<2021-10-09T06:07:09.000Z> ConfederateHobo: When it comes to store bought tobacco, the majority of the time I'm smoking some flavor of Captain Black. Simply because it's always available and tastes pretty alright.      Though if i want to put more money into tobacco, I like to grab some cans of Peterson/Dunhill navy rolls. 
<2021-10-09T06:09:16.000Z> ConfederateHobo: I'm not a terribly refined guy though, I can smoke anything.  when I was a bum I got into the habit of throwing everything i could find in a cloth pouch and stretching it out by adding herbs like sage and mullein
<2021-10-09T06:23:15.000Z> ConfederateHobo: I'm fond of corn cobs in particular, but I have some briars and hardwoods that I really like as well.  Though i only smoke stuff I know I like in my briars.
<2021-10-09T15:42:26.000Z> creek: Fair enough. Nothin' wrong with a cob that's how I got started and I have a couple now. I wish missouri meerschaum's stems weren't so crappy though.
<2021-10-09T15:43:00.000Z> creek: I'm not an aromatics guy myself I typically go for heavy english blends, cigar leaf blends and vapers
<2021-10-09T15:43:30.000Z> creek: although peterson Hyde Park is excellent and that's more on the aromatic side, though not in the traditional sense. Try it out it might be your speed.
<2021-10-09T16:08:24.000Z> ConfederateHobo: Will keep an eye out next time i'm buying tins.       I wish i still had a local tobacconist.  I used to get in house blends on occasion and they were to die for. 
<2021-10-09T16:10:11.000Z> creek: We had a brick and mortar near us but by the time I discovered it existed it was closing because the old man that ran it passed away.
<2021-10-09T16:11:07.000Z> creek: I have a shop near me that has two locations that I've been going to for a while. It isn't quite as comfy but the guys are nice and the selection is good enough. I mostly just get pipe stuff online because it is so much cheaper.
