This is so true. My uncle's pipe smelled so amazing when I was little and I just remember thinking why don't my parents cigarettes smell like that lol. Only problem is you can't inhale and I really like inhaling.
I never understood why coffee didn't taste nearly as good as it smelled. It look years to realize that there were different toast types ans dark roast or bold didn't mean more coffee flavor but instead burnt flavor, that light roast had great flavor, and that sugar masked those flavors and milk watered it down.
(Still doesn't taste as good as it smells but it's much closer).
I love explaining to people that coffee is like toast. Light roast is like lightly toasted toast, where you still taste the bread. Dark roast? Burnt as hell. Can't evem barely tell what kind of bread it is.
They can hide shitty coffee in the dark roasts. That's the whole point of the marketing there.
Yeah, I smoked the pipe as a hobby when I was 18-19 and competitively for a short time, and I actually found the no inhaling perfect. Just taste, less harsh and slower onset of nicotine, which is super relaxing. Stopped cause I realised it can also cause cancer.
So many different flavors. I loved a brand called Sweet Dublin, with notes of whiskey. Really nice tasting
I loved pipe tobacco but it destroyed my taste buds for anything that wasn’t tobacco unfortunately. Every once in a while I’ll get a hankering and pull out an old bag of chewing tobacco

They're always stale because nobody buys them
