Welcome from Maryland! I used to live in NOVA too. Leesburg to be exact.Hello all! Thought it was time to join as I could use some advice from those far more knowledgeable about new blends for me to try out. Born in Scotland yet raised in what was formerly known as Rhodesia (Mum and Da were missionaries). Flew helicopters with the Royal Navy and later piloting VIP charter flights. Been all over the world. My youngest daughter married a Yank and after my wife passed I now live in Northern Virginia in the USA so I can be with my grandchildren.
Any other rotor heads here?

I like it well enough. Pretty country, especially the Chesapeake Bay area. Would like to visit the west coast someday.Welcome from the SF Bay Area! How do you like living in Virginia? I've only been once, as part of a broader trip to Washington, but I liked it!
Born in Scotland of missionary parents, so perhaps Presbyterian by upbringing? A Scottish accent in Northern Virginia could go a long way for dinner invitations! Welcome aboard from central North Carolina, though I grew up in the Chicago area.
I was with 1 KOSB based at XMG a long time ago. Very memorable days and I was always glad to see you chaps?Spent 8 months with the NI Squadron myself. You a squaddie then? With what unit? If you don’t mind me asking.
Welcome! Another expat here. Living and working in India but from the US. In my last job in Latvia, I knew a guy who was half English, half Chinese and had spent time serving with a Scottish regiment. He was an interesting guy to work with and had high opinions of his Scottish mates who would occasionally drop by for a visit and when hey did, they partied hard. I didn't even try to keep up.Hello all! Thought it was time to join as I could use some advice from those far more knowledgeable about new blends for me to try out.

You can put your location in your Profile—(please!—because people will forget!) That will save questions in the future as to where you live when you later mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos, wildfires, air quality, etc., etc..I now live in Northern Virginia in the USA so I can be with my grandchildren.
Yes! Georgetown Tobacco is still in business and IMO well worth the effort to visit. For my part--I LOVE "Night Owl" by Georgetown Tobacco. Still tastes good and I think it hasn't changed much since the late 1970's when I first puffed it! Mmmm good. . . If you are ever in DC, you might want to pay Georgetown Tobacco a visit. I'm particularly fond of its Old Georgetown Blend . . . .
