Hi, I just started smoking a pipe about 4 months ago. I chose the Churchwarden because of the look (a wizard pipe) since I am a modern alchemist wizard- retired from Stanford University physics Department as a physicist/engineer. So it goes with my whole wizard persona. I know sooner or later I will buy a more expensive pipe but still with the long churchwarden stem. Right now I am smoking Captain Black, Gold, Royal, and cherry. These are the only pipe tobaccos I could find in my little town. I just bought some Amphora aromatic off the internet and can't wait to try it when it gets to me. I know there are more expensive and better tobaccos out there, and I want to try them all.
I do use a charcoal filter since I will inhale a few times per bowl, and at my age, 61, I don't want my old lungs to get overwhelmed and quit on me lol. Some of the real expensive pipes look to pretty/beautiful to smoke, and I guess guys collect them & never use them. I want to start my own collection. This is my first pipe smokers forum. It looks very interesting & professional here. Thanks for allowing me to join. Archangel de Fuego.
