I'm tempted too. Having not been a pipe smoker I'm curious. But, with my nature I shouldn't even try.
I smoked a pipe on occasions. The word "bite" is relevant, as an unfiltered pipe will put a definite sting on your tongue and throat. I used to mix Admiral's Choice Cherry Cavendish and Vanilla Cavendish 50/50, then add a small slice of an apple into my tobacco pouch overnight to try to reduce the amount of bite I would get from smoking.
Trust me, Vaping extracted pipe tobaccos is infinitely smoother and much more enjoyable. Just my

The worst thing is walking into a Humidor Shop. Some of my first tobacco's I got, I made the mistake of walking in. All I wanted to do was sit down in the lounge and smoke. What a wonderful smell you get when entering. Needless to say I had to get out of there quick, and haven't been back! lol
Once in awhile I'll open a pouch of pipe tobacco, to extract, and have the urge to put it in my mouth, instead of the 8 oz. Mason jar, it smell so damn good!
Haven't tried the H&H LR but I know it comes up a lot here as winner. Do have the GS and I love it. 6 or 8 months ago I had mixed a 50/50 blend of 13%, 12mg/nic of the GS and American Spirit Organic together and had just put it away and forgot about over the summer. Found it a month or so ago and tried it. It was fantastic! Needless to say it's all gone now and I haven't mixed anymore up. I blew through it without stopping. I gotta get busy mixing for the long run. Right now enjoying a 3-3-3% blend of Solani Aged Burley Flake, Dunnhill Royal Yacht, Blending Izmir Ribbon. Love this stuff and it's almost gone too! lol
Try that with a dozen or so of your favorite tobaccos. Check back in six months or so to share your results with us, please....
I have tried my american spirti organic with 15% extract by hot ethanol extraction after 17 days today again. Its much better now and i like it. It has smokiness now. Its a little bit too sweet. It could be very good for mixing with a stronger tobacco.
I havent thought that i get such good results with this tobacco. Do you know similar rolling tobaccos ?

Went up to the grocery store to get the ground beef, onion and flour tortillas for the chili I'm making. Texas Trail Drive Chili Mix Stopped at a convenience store and picked up a pouch of American Spirit "Maroon" and Perique...expensive at that place.
Yesterday, going through some drawers, I found a cigar I'd bought 14-15 years ago. Good thing because I'd never have remembered what I smoked that long ago. Figured I get one that's a little more fresh.
I stopped at Specs on the way home and picked up a Rocky Patell Vintage '90 and this: La Gloria Cubana Serie R - PipesandCigars.com

I guess this would be the "frankenblend" of pipe tobacco. I wonder how it would taste. I like the description they give.
try it you'll like it...I tried it and liked it.
problem is you will never get the same mix twice!
Voodoo Queen seems to mellow out some after just one week of extracting / mixing a small sample. Once I finish steeping and extract the whole jar, it will be interesting to see what a month or so of aging could do for this flavor.
I only like VooDoo Queen and Louisiana Red after they've aged for several months. First time I extracted them they almost got tossed but through an oversight they remained in the aging cabinet undiscovered for three months. Rediscovered, I decided to sample them before dumping and was amazed at the transformation/flavor. Much like cigars they seem to need serious aging before reaching their true potential.
I'm still enjoying the Drew Estate "Acid Blondie", for a cigar this is truly good stuff even fresh and I've already used half of the extract.
Broke into my P&C order I got in a few days ago. The Blending Smyrna and Blending Toasted Burley were really fresh to be just bagged. Have gotten a few that seemed a little dried out, but were okay. Also broke open the La Brumeuse Semois - Shag Cut. Pretty much fits all the descriptions written about it. Earthy, Bold, Musty, Meal worms, and a distinct Cigar filler note. Getting past the cigar part of it will be a challenge. Can't really come to terms on cigars. I can vape them but not too long. Probably because it's hard to produce a good one. This thing came in a 3.5 oz package so I hope I can make the best of it. If not I'll give it to my brother. He'll smoke it!
You know, come to think of it, a few of the tobacco's I received from pipes and cigars this time seemed a little dry compared to the same ones ordered last time I used for extracting......
Has anyone worked with Latakia before? I am wondering what else it goes with besides Virginia. It's a smokey type tobacco best used in small quantities with other varieties.
Found this video on P&C. Pardon the corny music, but it shows how Latakia is processed in a warehouse filled with smoke from burning aromatic woods.

Others with blending experience can help you more but, since I'm a fan of English Style blends, most of what I have has it to some degree. Thanks for the video. I didn't know PC had them. Yep, the music was unfortunate but now I know how to pronounce Latakia.
Looking forward to possible mixing suggestions.
