Aloha from an island rich in beauty, but barren of Brick & Morter pipe shops. Anyway, I am happy to be a part of this fine forum. Long time cigar smoker, and I've been enjoying pipe tobacco daily for about two years now. A great friend gifted me a fine pipe and some fantastic tobacco, and I've been hooked since. He was (is) such a great mentor and had an amazing (ancient) celler, so I was lucky to start off right, but my friend and neighbor has moved, and I find myself online looking for great tips on techniques and tasty blends. My TAD has been a little out of control this last year, but like I tell my wife, tobacco will never be cheaper than it is today...? I love all kinds of tobacco, but I find I gravitate towards blends rich in vitamin N. I'm a big fan of most dark fired blends, with GH Dark Plug being my current obsession. I look forward to "meeting" and learning from the fine folks on this forum, Mahalo nui loa!
