CaptainQuintero Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I've had an amazing year meeting some fantastic new friends and BOTL, the presents and goodies have started to arrive! I was going to like it's like Christmas but you know... Big thanks to all those who've bombed me and gifted me some amazing things this past week or so, speechless at the generosity of you guys!

CanuckSARTech Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hey CQ, Love the Lonsdales. PL stuff has been great lately. The bags though - is that pipe tobacco? If so, what's up with the wild colourings? Is that from them adding flavourings to it? Interesting looking stuff, curious as to what the processing is like versus Cuban tobacco.

CaptainQuintero Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Yeah pipe tobacco, it's mostly how it's processed, some is oven baked and some are air dried, some are maduro style and some are colorado etc, also different types of tobacco like virginia are different colours. Some are flavoured too but it's done with natural things like fruits or orange rinds, alcohol added etc so some of the darker ones will be smokey and maduro flavoured while the lighter ones will be more tobacco-y etc I don't know a huge amount (or even a small amount) about pipe tobacco though I know there are people on here wiht years and years of experience etc, I just have a gandalf pipe and the odd pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool. Interesting stuff. Is it all natural, non-chemical additives then? I'm just curious, as I know how there's that drastic difference with cigars compared to cigarettes, and even Cuban puros compared to some non-Cuban cigars. For the life of me, all the added chemicals or whatnot would be an absolute no-go. However.... Funny thing is, one of the big things that drew me into the mystique of cigars back in the late 90's was the memories of my now long-passed Grandfather, old school from the Netherlands, and his propensity to always be smoking cigars and pipes, with the later filled with either Drum tobacco, or ripped up cigar remnants. LOL. Ahhhh, memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 I had the same concerns too but it's pretty much the same as cigars as far as I know, 99% of the makes pride themselves by using only natural techniques and ingredients. I guess there will be swisher sweets style pipe tobaccos that will have some nasty stuff in but the price will probably give those away. But yeah everything that I've seen available on both sides of the pond have been 100% natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habanos2000 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I love the 898's, but hate the new Partagas band design. And those PL's have a terrific wrapper color! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharks Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Wow very nice! I've seen pictures and videos on youtube of people opening the new annual release ones etc, they are gorgeous! Yep the annual release Peterson pipes look sweet. I am after this one its the 2012 LE if things go well. I bought a cheaper one to see how I like it first and a corn cob pipe to experiment with. If I dont enjoy the pipes the corn cob goes in the bin and the Peterson on ebay. So much range in tobacco aswell its going to be interesting.
