The greatest privilege of a pipe smoker lies in the ability to experience tobacco in a multitude of ways that are altogether foreign to the common cigarette or cigar smoker. The very nature of blend tasting that is inherent to this habit allows - and indeed invites - the smoker to acquaint himself with distinct leaf varieties; as well as the different manners in which these are treated and enhanced before a final product is achieved. The process of packing the bowl, no doubt a practice requiring many years to master, does provide a precise illustration of the degree of manipulation that is strictly necessary: regardless of their preferred cut, all those who favor the pipe alone can claim to truly know the texture, consistency and aroma of tobacco.
