  I started smoking a pipe 63 years ago and started Iwan Ries’ Three Star Blue Aromatic which almost caused me to stop smoking pipes, but fortunately a buddy in college had me get some Balkan Sobranie and that saved me. After that I went back to a tobacco from Tinder Box that was called Scottish Moor and probably was Lane 1-Q. I loved it and smoked it for years until I could not get it anymore not realizing it was 1-Q until years later. I since tried all kinds of tobacco but like the aromatics the best.  Summary: start where you like and you will have a great time smoking and meeting wonderful people in this hobby.

  Hey guys…from the UK :-)<br>Good to see you helping new pipe smokers and mentioning our Gawith Hoggarth firm.<br>Just a quick correction…Twists and Ropes are not ‘avant garde’! They’re straight out of the 18th Century!!<br>I’ve been smoking a pipe for 60 years or more, my father and grandfather before me. It’s so good to see you cheering on a new generation…so keep up the good work :-)<br>All good wishes<br>Tony

  Nice little video! If I was going to recommend 5 bulk aromatics for new pipe smokers that are easy to pull flavor from and not overly fussy about burn mechanics I think I&apos;d go with Sutliff Vanilla Custard, Gawith Hoggarth Bob&apos;s Chocolate Flake, Lane TK-6 (which as far as I can tell is pretty much just Cult Blood Red Moon with the chocolate and vanilla toned down for more focus on the cherry), Peter Stokkebye Peaches &amp; Creme, and C&amp;D Autumn Evening. A good variety of styles and flavors that should all be easy to pick out, and I&apos;d toss in a bonus recommendation for Lane Black Raspberry if they&apos;re a raspberry fan.

  Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic is severely underrated, and maybe the only aromatic I would recommend to a beginner.
