I am finally back into pipes after 7 years away. I made pipes for 8 years and was lucky enough to spend a lot of time in Love Geiger's workshop as I learned. It was fantastic watching him develop.
Now I trying to build up my cellar!

Welcome. My understanding is that the Nordic countries have the greatest percentage of pipe smokes vs total smokers anywhere in the world.

Hey Harris!
It was a great experience doing the monkey work for Love and Sara. Very welcoming and patient with me and my million questions!
I am into the heavy English/Balkan blends. Balkan Sobranie, Dunhill, Germain etc.

Hey SeaCaptain!
The Danes are big pipe smokers, for sure. I am sure that the Swedes have a very high ratio between pipe:cigarette smokers but it is probably due to the very low cigarette smoking rate (I think it is now less than 14%) plus the VERY high rate of the use of snus (they call it snuff, goes in your mouth under your top lip).

Welcome aboard. Do you think you might get back into pipe making? It's something I would like to try.
