I did a new member intro a while back but I took some pics. I came from years and years of cigars and got bit hard by the bug. I actually have a few more packages on the way but here’s what I’ve acquired over last couple months.
the unfinished pipe is my first attempt at any type of wood working. It’s not done of course. Only used a Dremel and some files. Really enjoying that!

I know I’m seriously lacking in major tobacco brands. I kind of bought whatever I saw to try everything I could. I’ll prob post for trades etc soon but also my palette is evolving so blends I wasn’t a fan of, I’m enjoying now. I like just about most things I’ve tried.
Some of these tins are in the jars. A good amount unopened.
Used my kids blue rocks as an impromptu holder for the churchwarden. Works well. Lol.
Got 4 pipes over past 2 weeks. Really needed those. I don’t want to write a book here so happy to reply but yeh...loving the hobby. Really want to try other brands next. (Sorry if wrong room... read rules and see general posts so hope this is the place for something like this)

Looks like a great selection of both tobacco and smoking instruments!

I love photos like this. Nice collection of pipes and tobacco.

Ya just can't go wrong with Plum Pudding!

Hell, at 3 months in I wish that was the boat I was in! Well done! All I had was a few SEVERELY overheated cobs and 2 tins of some aro that I don’t even remember and couldn’t taste a damn thing

 

[Frozenoak]

Yeah, that looks something like 3 months of cigars.

Wow, you really hit the ground running. That's a collection to be proud of. It seems you like Plum Pudding. If not, you have a lot to trade.

Yeah. Coming from cigars, this is very affordable lol.

 

[Peter - CCB]

Yeah, I hope to trade on some and cellar a lot. I’ve got another ten tins on the way. Love the plum pudding. I miss trading in cigar forums. There’s a lot of stuff from SG and other labels I’m curious about. I’m still learning a lot but spending lots of time on YTPC. slowing down my smoking cadence is hardest part for me.

Good start, congratulations. Good balance of focus on tobacco but a decent rotation of pipes. The one you are carving is coming along nicely.

 

[olkofri]

A hell of a lot more than I had when I was three months in. Then again, you don't have to be dealing with customs, or pay $50 per tin locally.

 

[tobefrank]

That's a really nice collection for being three months in. It seems you have quite a variety of different types. How did you decide what tobacco to buy?

 

[magicpiper]

I would say you're off to a great start. Looks like you've got the bases covered well so far. Well done!

 

[hauntedmyst]

That's an awesome stash!

 

[cigrmaster]

Keep up the good work and maybe some day you will be able to kiss Kevins ring. It is a ceremony not to be missed.

 

[PaulTheScandinavian]

Well done, You are in the right direction ,,?

 

[mso489]

Welcome aboard. That's quite a stash of leaf. I buy more than I smoke, so have ended up with back-up blends for a few years.

 

[mtwaller]

Hot damn, that’s a fine collection you’ve started! Lots of great blends there. My condolences on catching the sickness you’ll never be rid of ?

 

[lochinvar]

Looks like a great start!

 

[sandollars]

That's focused commitment right there... Well done!
