I'm a lifelong non-smoker who just picked up the pipe habit a few months ago. Friends are still scratching their heads a bit but I can't understate the value of a nice relaxing bowl after a long day. I'm having loads of fun experimenting with tobacco blends and developing my palate. My current <3 pipe is this French estate. A rusticated opera marked "Prince of Wales Jubilee." Pipepedia doesn't know much about it but maybe someone here does. Happy smoking, folks!
