Davidoff pipe tobacco

xmacro

So I'm getting back into pipes, and wondering if anyone's had the Davidoff pipe tobacco? Any recommendations?

J.S.

Royalty is a good one to try if you are into straight English style tobacco and not the aromatic blends. It is a little on the mild to med. side but a good flavor overall. The others I have tried are not really that recommendable in my opinion. There reputation as a cigar maker does not come across in their pipe tobacco.

I'm still learning pipe smoking, but I've heard great things about Davidoff Royalty, Flake Medallion, Red Mixture, and Green Mixture.

On the topic, how do you smoke a medallion? I've never seen one before, just loose filler

Damn, well, I ordered Davidoff Limited Reserve Sweet Mixture No. 3, whatever that is so we'll see, along with a Peterson with a churchwarden stem; if Ccom could get their stock back in order, I'd like to get some of my standby, Captain Black

The medallion is basically a spun coin. You can either rub it out and pack as you normally would, or simply fold and stuff being careful not to pack too tightly. I prefer to smoke a tobacco the way it is presented, I think you get a better measure of the intended flavor...so I prefer to fold and stuff the coins, as I do with flake tobaccos.

Also, Ccom - fix your links to the tobacco pipes; some of the links don't lead anywhere or show no pics or ordering info like the Peterson pipes - I can't look at them, much less order

Wow. This is weird. I've gotten back into pipes this past week myself. Sean at C.com was super helpful. Give him a call.

Dunno if it was my computer or someone fixed something, but the links are working fine for me again too

I have not tried the Limited Reserve Mix. So I don't know. I really have not found an appreciation for the aromatic blends yet so someone else may have a better handle on how it stacks up. I do like Captain Black but it smokes a little wet for me.
