I started with Paladin pipe tobacco, because it could be found anywhere. However over the years that has changed.
Now I smoke blends that I purchase in bulk and store the tobacco in air-tight canisters, which hold at least 8 - 16 oz.
I smoke a different blend each day ( I have a 30 day rotation). I smoke 6 - 10 bowls each day (since i do not work any more).
My first bowl is always the same 'Coffee House Special' which I designed through Milan Tobacconists, but the rest of the day I smoke the blends slated for that day
I have smoked in many different countries. I found the best tobacco shops in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. The shop in Al-Kobar, Saudi Arabia (along the eastern coast across the bridge from Bahrain) had wonder tobacco (all middle eastern blends, but still good).
Of course I could not find any tobacco shops in Asia, but that was 25 years ago, perhaps things have changed over the years.

My pursuit of happiness is smoking my pipe.
