Re: Am I Expecting too Much?
I had some similar when I first started the pipe, and looking back can see that the dulled sense I got from the pipe can be directly attributed to:
1) Intermixing too much cigars and cigarettes with the pipe. Both the pipe and the cigarettes would seem to taste of the cigars.
2) Smoking too hot, which tended to make the "blend" fall apart. The blend of the various components of a pipe tobacco can really make the whole greater than the sum of the parts. Imagine unwrapping a cigar and just smoking the binder. Or even smoking a cigar too hot...they ALL will turn oily and bitter in the same manner.
that's my experience
