A brief introduction on myself:
Name's Joel, 22 years old, currently an E-4 in the United States Navy. Had my first pipe on my 18th birthday with my Grandpa. Had a few throw-away pipes over the years, mostly corn cobs, currently smoking a 5 dollar basket pipe that I bought a couple years ago in Florida. It doesn't smoke the greatest, and everything I smoke out of it tastes like the first bit of whatever aromatic it was that I bought with it. Which brings me to my new purchases!
Pipes:
A good looking churchwarden (no brand) that's half sand-blasted, and half lightly stained briar.
Peterson Aran - a good looking curvy little guy with a nickel mount.
Tobaccos:
The "A Better One for the Road" sampler from pipesandcigars to include 2oz each of Bourbon, Amaretto, Sunset Rum, Brandy Alexander, and Buttered Rum flavored. Some Hearth and Home Marquee Sweet and Savory, and a bit of Middleton's Apple - the pouches looked familiar, so I ordered some.
Also bought the necessary tools/cleaning supplies as well as a leather 'baccy pouch. Had to make a second order because I forgot to order wind covers (it's windy on the ocean) and figured I'd go for the Peterson while I was at it. I'm just excited about my purchase and wanted to share with everyone/chat until my order comes in. Discuss!
