Pipemaker from the Country of Beer, Fries and Waffles (Oh and Semois)

[massis]

I frequent many forums and have been lurking at pipesmagazine for a while, but somehow I never got round to making an account over here.
Time to make amends.

I've been smoking pipes since 2010 after a cigar topic on gaming forum I frequented at the time. Less than a year after I made my first pipe with the idea that I was perfectly capable of making a great pipe myself for much less money then those sold online. (hint: I was not. At all.)

I've been managing the dutch & belgian pipesmokers forum for 8 years now as well, which is an amazing community to be a part of.

General about me: I'm 32, father of 2, and besides pipemaking, I'm also into skydiving, woodturning and bushcraft/camping.
And obviously, I live in Belgium

Welcome! I grew up in the Netherlands, but now live in Australia.

 

[tobefrank]

I happen to be smoking some of your local produce (Le Petit Robin) at this very moment.

 

[cshubhra]

Welcome!!!

I'm not a fan of Semois honestly, I think it's too dry & grassy
My dream has always been to emigrate to Australia, but I also know it will probably never happen.

What are some of your favourite blends?

I have a silly wide favorite spectrum. One of my current favorites is St. Bruno's Ready Rubbed, I like most Latakia's. But on the other hand I also really love me some aromatics, like Winslow's Harlekin, No1, ...

My all time favorites include 2 tobacco's that were made/rebranded for our forum with the help of Arno Van Goor (the gentleman behind The Dutch Pipesmoker blog) which are called "Genietmoment" ('joyous moment', a blend with coffee & vanilla, which is superb) and 'Brullende Leeuw' ('roaring lion' which is a fantastic Latakia blend)

And one of my favorites...chocolate.

Welcome from Illinois.

Ah yes, of course!

Ah yes, of course!

I haven’t gotten into Latakia much yet. I’m more of a VaPer smoker, but I do enjoy light English blends such as McClelland Wilderness.

I’ve got a few tins of Latakia blends that are waiting for me to try them such as Ashton Artisan’s blend, 3 Oaks Syrian and GLP Gaslight.

I’ll throw in a thank you for all cycling culture and racers.

Cool. I spend a good amount of time in Belgium. I have some very good life-long friends there.

Welcome massis, glad to see you here too.

 

[kurtbob]

Welcome from Georgia! I for one am a HUGE fan of Semois, nothing else like it on the planet!

 

[kurtbob]

And for the record, I also like beer, fries and waffles. Occasionally all at the same time
