Hi there, what a pleasure to find this community. Draconian tobacco laws have made pipe smokers down under a rare breed. Tobacco is outrageously expensive ($100 for 50g), depressing really. I enjoy Peterson's Sunset Breeze and Connoisseurs Choice. Like a bit of Burley. Recently given up cigarettes for good and sticking to the pipe. So am busy cleaning up my collection, refurbishing and spend a lot of time watching you tube for advice. I want to make my own, so that's a new challenge. To earn money I teach and write. I have a blog mikescallan.com and enjoy kicking back with my pipe and a good book, love Walt Whitman.
