The joy of rolling your own cigarette with hand rolling tobacco or smoking a pipe is that you have the flexibility to choose your accessories to build your personalised smoke. With hand-rolling, you can select from a plethora of rolling papers, filter tips and tobacco. Pipe smoking is somewhat more straightforward in that all is required a pipe, pipe tobacco and a form of ignition. While we won't go into it here, the range of options in regards to pipes is huge, made from a variety of materials and various construction methods each design smokes slightly differently. The Bull Brand Classic Pipe is a simple, cost-effective pipe that matches a standard pipe design is a good starting point if you're getting into pipe smoking and it doesn't cost the earth at only £1.
With your pipe in hand, ready to go, it now comes down to what type of tobacco to use. Firstly you must select a pipe tobacco to ensure you get a proper burn and the full flavour that pipe smoking is renowned for delivering. Pipe tobacco tends to be a blend of tobacco types roughly cut into thicker strips when compared to hand-rolling tobacco. Usually supplied in a 'raw' form, pipe tobacco is produced with fewer additives and provided with a higher level of moisture in ribbons. These production processes create tobacco that burns with a more pungent smell that is often well-matched with other intense flavours such as whiskey and cognac. The stronger aroma and flavours do make pipe smoking harder to get into but aficionados of pipe smoking take their pipe and tobacco selection very seriously, rarely straying away from a preferred and trusted combination of pipe and tobacco brand.
If you're new to pipe smoking, it can be bewildering. At Bull Brand we think our Classic Pipe is a good starting point, it doesn't cost the earth and gives you a flavour (no pun intended) for being a retro pipe smoker. The next step is to select your tobacco, obviously, any hand-rolling tobacco is out of the equation, so you need to start looking at tobacco's titled 'pipe tobacco' or 'shag tobacco'.
