New member from South East Michigan here...
I've been smoking for a few months now, after picking it up a year or so back and not liking it at all, which really got down to the fact that I had picked poor tobaccos that soured me on the experience. After educating myself on pipe tobacco and making better choices, I'm in love with it!
I have a couple of cheap pipes, but my main one is a restored Butz-Choquin Montagnarde estate pipe that I just absolutely love. My main tobacco is Peterson's MyMixture 965... my previous bad experience left me shying away from aromatics, but I recently picked up a tin of Cult Blood Red Moon and am ready to embrace aromatics again.
I'm always on the lookout for good brick and mortar tobacconists (since most tobacco shops seem to have stopped carrying pipe tobaccos), so if anyone local has any hidden gems they know of, I'd love to hear it!
