We have been to Oslo, twice, and made it a point to attend an Oslo Pipe Club meeting. It is too bad that you are not near Oslo.
We have also visited Tromsø. Are you near there?
Welcome, Karl!
Are you in, or near, Oslo? If so, you have a very nice pipe club that meets at least once a month. We have been several times, and it was a nice group of people.
I am a 3-4 bowl per day pipe smoker. When I started, it was perhaps one bowl every two weeks. 30+ years later, it is at the 3-4 per day level. I do not inhale, and that probably keeps me from smoking more.
Passed through Chambersburg two days ago. Definitely had to stop! A very nice shop, with friendly staff, and excellent selection. Wish that I had more time to enjoy the lounge, which looked nice.
If your R.I. blood allows it, there is a decent selection of non-tinned blends at James' Fine Cigars in Smithfield, R.I.. No tins, but a decent selection of bulks.
