Re: Am I Expecting too Much?

Maybe your tastebuds are just a bit overwhelmed right now. Try taking a break from all tobacco for a week. Then come back and give it another try.

Also realize that not everyone can distinguish the many flavors in many pipe tobaccos. They are much more subtle than cigars. So it's probably best that you don't go in expecting too much. Relax and just try to enjoy the smoke for what it provides.

Lastly, don't smoke your pipe after a rich or spicy meal ... and don't drink something strong while smoking that could overwhelm the flavors. I prefer iced tea or water.
