Steve, please edit this and send it across the mailing list.  Thanks!

Hi there, everybody.  I just got my first pipe (an English "rum
cake"), and so far the only tobacco I've smoked has been "Mystique",
which I believe is the tobacconist's own blend.  Could anyone post or
e-mail to me the names of several mild, sweet tobaccos that would be
available in a pipe shop?  I'm still new at this and don't know where
to start.  Thanks.

[Personally, I like non-aromatic tobaccos the best, but I might
mention a couple of suggestions. When I started smoking, I used
Amphora Mild Aromatic, a cavendish mixture. It _is_ mild, as long as
you smoke slowly, but most tobaccos don't stay mild if you're puffing
furiously!  You might also check out Captain Black or Borkum Riff,
which are both strongly aromatic. Someone mentioned Cherry Cavendish
(not sure if this is the brand name!) a while back, too.

By the way, congratulations on your new pipe! Hope you both become
good friends. -S.]
