I thought I could start with a presentation here on this blog. I guess it won’t be updated at all, but at least I can use it as a presentation.
I have never smoked anything in my life and I never thought I would either, but in januari 2009 my son was born and my wife said something like “-Shouldn’t you have bought a cigar to celebrate?”. Well, when I get interrested in something special I always get into it to 100%. So, after a while I have a few humidours and a lot of different cigars. Trying out all the different types and reading everything about it as well.

A few months later I thought I could give smoking a pipe a try. I started out reading a lot about it and I bought my first estate pipe. A Ratos City that I got really cheap. I started out trying a few tobaccotypes and really liked it. At first I saw it as a compliment for the cigars, but lately the pipe have been more frequent than the cigars.

And as I wrote earlier I do everything to 100%. So, now a few months later I have about 15 different pipes in different shapes and sizes. I guess I am a bit of a collector as well.

The winter is here now in sweden and I have found out that I like the pipe more when it is cold outside. There have been a lot of walks with our dogs with the company of a pipe and some good tobacco.

So as a quite new pipesmoker I just wanted to say hi and tell you a bit about myself and why I stumbled upon this hobby.
