Hello! Greetings from Norway. Seems long overdue to finaly get me an account here, been lurking, reading and enjoying this forum for all things pipe related for a few years now. My grandfather smoked a pipe wich I remember loving the smell of and being fascinated by even as a small kid. Bought a basket pipe and a pouch of Borkum Riff ten years ago, but it didn't take. Classic tale of wet smokes and burned tounge. Picked it up again three years ago, this time with a more informed approach to briar and leaf. Got from three to thirty pipes in my rack(s) in about a year. Been many a sweet smoke since.
I tend to favour balkan style blends and VA/VaPers the most. Enjoy collecting mostly older british pipes and shapes, but anything with a deep and craggy sandblast will catch my eye.

Hello and welcome, bottils.
Balkans have been creeping up higher on my list, lately and I also enjoy most of the VaPers I've tried.
I'd like to see your part of the world some day (preferably in the summer!)
The closest I've gotten is to own a lovely antique Finnish Mosin Nagant military rifle.
I think a yacht ride from Scotland to Norway, standing on the bow with a pipe and bottle of cleanin rum would be the way to do it!
We're glad you're here.

Howdy & welcome, bottils! I'm afraid you've fallen in with a bunch of pipe snobs, but look on the bright side -- your standards are now much higher, therefore you qualify!
NOW, about Black Frigate..... :)
