Greetings fellow pipers,
Been piping off and on for years, smoked some pretty shameful stuff out of some stumpy, burnt handmedown cobs previously owned by my Grandfather, who smokes whatever is cheapest at the gas station and has since he was 10 or 11. Saw an ad for the new at the time Savinelli Miele line in 2019 and fell in love. Ordered a 316 KS that day. I became obsessed, ordered a couple pounds of all kinds of bulk blends, didn't fall into the cheap aromatic trap though. From there, I realized I mostly love Virginia, Perique, Latakia, Orientals, and various cigar leaves. My favorite blend right now is C&D Bayou Night. That or Rajah's Court, which I add some C&D blending perique to, chopped up.
Beyond that, my passions are playing guitar, listening to music (mostly jazz, jazz fusion, instrumental stuff, blues), writing poetry/short stories, my dog (a blue heeler called Cucamonga) and cooking.
Just learned about the PMRS and have been listening obsessively for the past few days, figured I'd come sign up and realized I already did, last year!!! My newest pipe, a Sav. Arlecchino 111 KS in black, goes great with all the entertaining and educational talks we're blessed to have free access to. attached is a photo of it with all the new tobacco that came in the mail yesterday. Let me know your favorites!
Looking forward to learning from and chatting with y'all. Cheers/L'chaim!!
