I started posting a bunch but have been remiss in introducing myself. Greetings from Portland, Oregon, USA. I've been smoking pipes on and off since around '04, I think. I like latakia bombs and Lakeland soaps. And Mixture 79 before it became all licorice. GLP and Murray Dunhill Englishes too (the whole Orlick Dunhill era passed me by). I miss Field & Stream and Ferndown Black & Tan. Frog Morton, HH Vintage Syrian, the current Balkan Sobranie and SPC's Plum Pudding SR are all kinda bland to me. I still don't know what perique tastes like. I'm want all my ebonite stems to stop turning green! I swear one of these days I'm going to stop buying anything with black ebonite on it. And what has happened to all the J.F. Germain?
