Cheers from Portland

[Count Vajda]

Hi everyone,

I'm a pipe smoker in Portland, OR. I've been piping for 30+ years but didn't really know what I was doing until I met Steve Books at Rich's Cigar in 2003.

Tonight I'm sipping a beer and enjoying Glass Slipper from Watch City Cigar & Pipe in a Castleford Pot while sharing my chair with one of our four dogs. This is a really wonderful blend with some flavors I don't recognize.

I mostly enjoy natural english blends and I use a rotation of about 30 pipes (most are Ferndown, Upshall, Ashton, or Charatan). Lately, I've been trying blends from Peretti, Wilke, and Watch City. Most recently, I really enjoyed Peretti's Tashkent and No. 52.

Cheers,
Count Vajda

Count, pleased to meet you. I picked up the pipe around the same time you did and have smoked a few pipes with Steve Books as well.

Welcome to the forum, from Southern California. One of my best friends lives in Mt. Tabor, and I rave to him all the time about how lucky he is to be in such close proximity to Rich's. I think he's mildly irritated by it...

Enjoy your journey!
