supdog Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Math, I did a search for reviews on Havana flavors, and came across a post where you said you like their pipe flavor. Could you give a mini review on that flavor for me ? It sounds interesting, but I don't want to buy 250 gr. if it's not what I have in mind. Thanks in advance.

Brad Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I just placed an order for some, I'll let you know what I think when I get it in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Well, I'm not going to do a full review because I haven't smoked it in awhile and I would be going strictly by memory. But, I will say that IF you like the smell of traditional aromatic pipe tobacco, then you will probably like Havana Pipe. Granted, it's not for everyone, but if you LOVE the taste and/or smell of Pipe Tobacco, then this is THE stuff to buy. I won't lie to you, I smoked Havana Pipe for a couple months and then I got tired of it. It's a great flavor when you first smoke it, but if you smoke it all the time, you WILL grow tired of it, just like any other flavor.I REALLY loved Havana Pipe the first couple of months, but as I said, I smoked it all the time and got tired of it. It's a special occasion smoke. I would not make it part of your daily rotation. Smoke it every once in awhile so that you don't get tired of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HookahEnthusiast Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 yea pipe flavored sounds like more of a traditional smoke which may be interesting to try just to mix things up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aronparsons Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I might give the Pipe flavor at try sometime. I've never smoked pipe tobacco but have always loved the smell of it. I liked Havana's Special Apple and Orange too, so my next order will likely have some of this in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitefanatic Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I'm just wondering what kind of pipe tobacco it's supposed to mimic? English? Oriental? Some kind of aromatic perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Al Majlis used to have a pipe tobacco flavor...excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seandoo Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 funny this is brought up - I just got 50g of it yesterday in my gigantic shipment of starbuzz just to see what it would be like. must say, I haven't tried it but I'd imagine it would be similar to aromatic tobacco, like Captain Black or something. I'll let you guys know when I try it (if somebody else doesn't first haha). -Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seandoo Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Haha okay well it might not be anything like Captain Black. That's the only actual pipe tobacco I've tried - it was pretty good, imo. Allow me to rephrase - I believe the Havana Pipe Tobacco flavor would probably be similar to an aromatic tobacco, such as Captain Black is aromatic hahaha. No idea what it tastes like -yet- but I have some sitting with the rest of my shisha supply...like I said, review coming soon (if nobody does it first..) -Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out my pipe smokers thread in the "serious discussion forum" and you can get to the link from there. Just fill in the info, and within a couple weeks, a box FULL of pipe tobacco arrives. Granted its not all that great stuff, but hey, the price is right Hey, and maybe you could use some of it to help with making "homemade" shisha experiements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seandoo Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 hahahaha experiments oh i see what you mean, another thread. my bad =) i was under the impression that somewhere sends havana pipe flavored shisha out or something. hmm free pipe tobacco samples huh? interesting....

Seandoo Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 -bump- Tried this a little while ago today - never done a formal review so stick with me. The smoke was dense, good color (not brown like some I've tried haha), etc. I wasn't feeling the flavor. I mean it's not gross or repulsive but I dunno it wasn't my cup of tea. Like musrat said, if I want something that tastes like pipe tobacco I'll go smoke some pipe tobacco. I have no idea what kind of pipe tobacco it was supposed to mimick, as I've only tried Captain Black Light (aromatic...pretty good IMO but never tried anything else) but it didn't taste like what I've smoked. Really dark smell when taking it out of the bag, which almost was gross, like dark coffee shisha but not (strange smell). I don't think it's something I'd want to do again, maybe if I ran out of shisha but I dunno I have probably 2 kilos or so of various stuff I'd say is top of the line. Havana, to me, is a good company to try. Pipe tobacco isn't a good one to start with when evaluating them as a whole, due to the bizarre flavor, but I could tell that it lasted and had thick smoke. I'm looking forward to their double apple when I get around to trying it, maybe tomorrow or later this weekend. Oh, and the flavor really intensified about 20 mins into it. If it's your thing then you'll love it. I wasn't really feelin it so I wrapped it up. Way too flavorful of dark mystery for me (not quite my taste). -Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seandoo Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Oh and Yash, about trying the "experiments" Is it bad to inhale pipe tobacco? Okay nobody lecture me on how none of it is good, I'm aware of that. Isn't there something about pipes and cigars that you're not supposed to inhale? I'm not a huge buff on those so I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to the "why" of them. I was actually rolling the idea around in my head on seeing what I can come up with. I don't think there's a way to get rid of tar and gauge the nicotine content though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Inhaling pipe tobacco is not recommended. Harsh. Although I know people that inhale cigar smoke, so what the hell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PipeSmokeMcGee Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 [quote name='Seandoo']Is it bad to inhale pipe tobacco?[/quote]Actually, it has been scientifically proven that the inhalation of pipe tobacco actually adds to one's lifetime. Those who inhale amounts of pipe tobacco greater than 6 bowls a day are more likely to live past the age of 114.It's not great to inhale it, but relatively speaking, it's not bad. No worse than cigar/cigarette. It's more of a matter of personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
