Smoking some Chelsea Morning over the top of some leftover from a pocket jar in my RNA Treasures car pipe after expanding the hole in the RNA Treasures replacement stem and funneling the slot at the bit with a needle file in a drill. The draw seems much better now, we'll see next time I smoke some flake or coins in this pipe how well it does. RNA Treasures used to have a web store, now they just sell what's left on their Instagram account.

Sutliff Nougat in a Chacom Nougat.
Not much aroma and definitely no "flavor" in it.
I was also unimpressed by the "Nougat", expected more, something like, you know, nougat. Disappointed.

I have to correct my post. After smoking a bit more there is a distinct room note. Actually smells better than the tobacco. Just wish aromatics had a little flavor to go with the aroma. I don't feel like I wasted the $20. Just not excited.

Butter pecan smells good in the jar but almost nothing in the pipe. Disappointing since I have two pint jars full of it. I suppose I could mix it 50/50 with plum pudding or something else thats strong.

Was yours from sutliff? Could it have been old/dried out? I can send you some of mine to try, if you'd like.
I think it was Sutliff. It wasn't terrible, I just didn't get what I expected from it. So often pipe tobacco smells one way it the jar, another way in the room note, and tastes different than either. I rarely smoke any aromatic, occasionally do, though. I guess I just don't go for "toppings". Virginias, Orientals, Turkish, Latakia, Perique, that's my jam.
I'm the same way with alcoholic beverages. I want my beer to taste like beer, not the tutti-frutti kinderbeers the market has stocked its shelves with, if I go to a place that serves drinks and I want something stronger than beer I'll either go for a Cabernet, or Scotch on ice, possibly a good bourbon.
Other people are like "taste this apple pie whiskey" etc., or "don't you want to try an Old Fashioned?", things like that. Bleah! I can go for a good bourbon, even a good rye sometimes, but I want my whiskey to be whiskey flavored, obtaining the subtle notes from the aging barrels. And I just say no to tequila, vodka, gin. Colorless alcohol twists my brain and makes me lose friends.
Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it.

I found that if the average non-smoker likes the smell of it…I generally don’t like the taste.
That seems to hold true for me too, Rusty.

Sutliff coffee in a poker. I don't think it really smells like coffee but it does smell pleasant. It may be due to the fact I'm drinking coffee atm.
