Hello I've been a pipe smoker for around 25 years or so.I really got the itch a couple years ago and have been smoking them daily.I'm a huge fan of aromatics and can't believe I'm saying this but am loving just regular blends of straight tobacco like Virginia's and Latakia and want to try perique soon.I'm 50 yrs old and like to fish and love to haul junk cars and recycle at a good pace.I have a lot of health issues with my back and spine that limits me most days but I keep plugging along.I'm very interested in pipe collecting now as I have around 80 or so as of today and more coming.thanks for reading my boring story,have a nice day and happy piping!
