better then lonely without a pipe. That's worse. Well hopefully we can help you feel a bit more connected but you'll have still have to fill your own pipe.
What pipe tobacco can you get in Shanghai?

That is qiute hard to get a good pipe tobacco here. Last year I managed to get some Ashton’s Blend, Dunhill Early Morning which are great. Now looking forward for Christmas in Europe and tobacco shopping.

Honestly I am not that into trying everything out there, but it's very nice to have an overabundance of choice.

Hello and welcome. Visited Prague 30 years ago, drove in from Germany. Czechoslovakia is a beautiful and historic place. Good beer too (Pilsner Urquell). Among other places I visited the distillery/ brewery and they took pity on me and saved my life with 'new beer'. No alcohol. I'd sampled your gin the night before.....and it was a difficult next day.

Hello from Southern California. Judging by the the amount of comments on SP.com from China, I assume there are a fair amount of pipe smokers in the more affluent cities such as Shanghai?

Yes there must be some as they sell pipes here (but no tobacco) but I did not find them yet

Welcome from Chicago.

I used to travel to Shanghai once a quarter for work. Saw lots of cigarette smokers, but never a pipe or cigar.

Can you read Simplified Chinese? I found this Chinese site, 烟斗村 - 全球华人烟斗客的精神家园 The Chinese Pipe Smoking Community! - http://pipevillage.org, that has a forum and resources catering to pipers in China.

Hi guys I am Miroslav from Czech Republic, currently living in Shanghai and feeling a bit lonely with my pipe here.

Welcome Miroslav! I'm Rafael, I have a friend who lived in China for many years, and I've heard it's tough for foreigners there. How's your grasp of the language?
