So I have blended and now made public my first pipe tobacco. To some that is not much, but I am happy with it.
It is a blend that uses whisky and coffee to create a subtle sweet Irish coffee aromatic pipe mixture. It is medium in strength with a good burn leaving a fine dark powdery ash.
I have named it for my grandfather, who was a pipe smoker, although I do not remember what he smoked in his pipe. He was of Irish decent, so I think it is fitting.
I am not sure I am any kind of a master blender in the pipe world, but with my understanding and willingness to experiment and try different combinations, I can concoct a palatable smoke. Along with my science/engineering background and enjoyment of pipe smoking, it is a joy to do this 'hobby'.
This is not my first success, but this one the one I wanted to sell.
Now what should I do next....
