    Absolute Mildest Nicotine With Latakia and/or Orientals

    I understand that charcoal filters are better at filtering nicotine than balsa correct? I wanted to get a small pipe, like a Savinelli Minuto but that has a 6mm instead. Any disadvantages of going with a 6mm compared to 9mm? Thanks

    Absolute Mildest Nicotine With Latakia and/or Orientals

    Thank you! I'm in Canada but I do get Sam Gawith here. Any other specific recommendations that you find doesn't ever give you a nic hit apart from Skiff?

    Absolute Mildest Nicotine With Latakia and/or Orientals

    I love the taste, smell and experience but can't stand the nicotine. Are you saying there's no compromise? That I won't be able to find a blend that will not give me anxiety?

    Absolute Mildest Nicotine With Latakia and/or Orientals

    Unfortunately I find this has almost no flavor. Got anything richer in taste?

    Absolute Mildest Nicotine With Latakia and/or Orientals

    Hi, I can't take nicotine anymore -- it gives me anxiety. I haven't smoked the pipe or cigars for months because of it. But I miss the pipe so much, I am willing to try a last effort at finding a blend that doesn't give me a panic attack. What is the absolute mildest blend in terms of nicotine...

    Recommendations From My Favorites?

    Hi! I'm quite picky when it comes to cigars. I love flavor, but not too full bodied. I don't like nicotine-heavy sticks. Here are my favorites; What do you recommend? Quai D’Orsay No.50 Vegueros Entretiempos Romeo & Julieta Mille Fleur Plasencia Reserva El Corojal Toro Oliva Serie G 50 Thanks

    From Cigars to Pipes or Pipes to Cigars?

    Fair points. Another point is that, precisely because of cost, I will smoke less frequently and make it a real luxury. I smoke only great cigars (still reasonably priced within the context of cigars) instead of smoking daily and settling for less magical tobacco.

    From Cigars to Pipes or Pipes to Cigars?

    Another reason on top of the no fuss is that the flavor is richer in the cigar. Also, I prefer the taste of fresh tins, and I have a bunch of cellared tobacco so I'll have to sell it anyway, to those who prefer cellared/aged.
