Hi all, I live on a big hunk of rock in the North Atlantic. Just took up the pipe this year, no other tobacco use for decades. Trying to commune with the gentlemanly pursuits of my roots, I suppose.
Started this spring, trying a single bowl each of about 35-40 blends, before settling in on a few favourites, and expect them to change as my palate develops. Also settled in to 2 bowls a week at most, to 2 bowls a month at least. I’ll take the winter off, all 6 months of it. Happy to report no sense of nicotine addiction, as opposed to cigarettes in my youth.
I chose to stock up on Presbyterian, Balkan Supreme, and a Lane 1-Q/BCA 50/50 mix. It’s funny, I took all year to settle on Presbyterian as my default, and then the next week Planta stopped production and sold out. Maybe I’ll switch to Peterson EMP once it becomes available.
Already learned a lot from this forum all year, and hope to continue. My favourite member to read is mso489 for his thoughtfulness and friendly, understanding demeanour mixed with wisdom gained from personal experience.
Thanks for the upgrade to the software, @admin.
