Thanks for making me feel welcome. My favorite smoking pipes are 2 Peterson System P-lips, a big calabash, and a collection of Savinelli Romas in traditional shapes, mostly bents. I have another 3 dozen E-bay treasures in the back room that don't get smoked as much. I spend a lot of time leaned back in a recliner with a bent sitting on my chest. Alas, I wear dentures and clamping a straight pipe in my mouth for any length of time is uncomfortable. I like smooth tobaccos that don't burn my tongue, although enjoy a nice spicy Latika sometimes. Probably my favorite tobacco is Lane BCA or another black Cavendish.
