    Hello all! brand new to the forum, and to pipes really. I am a maker myself, and i work with a lot of cherry, but also maple, yew, black walnut, birch, and my personal favorite, osage orange. I haven't tried many tobaccos, but my current favorite is prince albert. I am a fan of curchwardens, and...
