Please go into as much detail as you like! I want to know how all of you fine gents got into this wonderful hobby!
For me, I've been smoking for a very measly 3 months, and for the longest time, I wouldn't have even DARED to touch any sort of tobacco. It wasn't until this summer that a buddy I worked at a camp with had told me how he smoked a pipe and how much he loved it.
Once I found out that you don't inhale and with moderation, there is no addiction, I quickly became attracted to the classy aspect of pipe smoking! Fast forward to my first week of college, my best friend's roommate and my roommate (who are best friends themselves) actually ended up being pipe smokers! One day after studying, they wanted to go smoke and I ended up tagging along. My roommate had an extra pipe on him, and I decided to try it, and I ended up loving it! about 2 weeks later I ended up buying a wall pipe from our local B&M (The Country Squire in Flowood, MS) and some of their own house blends! As of late, I've been trying some different aromatic blends, but my all-time favorite smokes are probably my 2 Virginia blends made by the Squire, and I ended up selling my wall pipe as trade-in towards a Rossi Rubino. I also just bought a Peterson that will be coming today!
So that's my story in detail; what's yours?
