Over the last few years, cigars have been having a rather steamy love affair with pipes… well, pipe leaf to be exact. There have been more and more projects that dawn the title 'aromatic' (essentially one step shy of being pipe leaf). Some projects even use leaf that's specifically crafted for pipes inside the wrapper, binder, filler blend. The big question that remains is - is this ok? Are we all cool with this? Should cigars and pipes be allowed to co-mingle like this? Or is this more of a 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' type deal? During this episode, we'll discuss the whole thing. We'll look inside the cigar making world at each of these projects and learn just what cigar makers and pipe people have been doing with our beloved blends.
