Hello all,
I recently started getting back into the hobby after about a decade and joined the forum to learn as much as I can to receive as much enjoyment out of my pipes as possible. I used to smoke cigars with my old man and one day came home with a pipe and some cherry aromatic pipe tobacco. My pops laughed because unbeknownst to me, his dad was a pipe smoker who favored cherry aromatics as well. Although I never met him, I'm apparently a spitting image of my Grandpa and share many of his mannerisms. Now that my Pops has resolved his sinus issues that kept him away from cigars for an extended time, I decided it was time to get the pipes out to enjoy after our Sunday dinners.
Looking forward to conversing and learning from all of you. I've since picked up some Peterson System pipes that I'm absolutely thrilled about and now is the time to move on to acquiring as much tobacco as possible
So far I've really enjoyed VaPers and aromatics, and am now trying the old time Burley blends and straight Virginia's to see what those are about.
