First Day!

[Snook]

Really don't know, just woke up one morning and just had this urge to try it. So I went down to the store and got a cheap $15 pipe. And a bag of pipe tobacco. And I just fell in love with it. I only smoke at home on my porch when I'm off work. I like to wake up early and make coffee, and just sit and relax out there. I head OJK is a lot like it but stronger, it's next on my list. I haven't heard of Crooner, I'll have to check it out.

That's a good a way to start as any! Sounds like it was meant to be.

Still looking around the website, I'm not good with computers but I thought I'd give this a try. Also fairly new Pipe Smoker, picked it up bout 6 months ago and have fallen in love with it. Ive discovered I like straight billiard pipes. I got a couple Lorenzetti, a couple Savinelli and a Brebbia. All great smokers, then I got a Meerschaum from this guy Ismail Celebi, and it's been great. When I first started I started with English, and then moved to Straight Virginias, and then last few months Ive been mostly smoking Burley and some VaPer. So far I've had probably 7 different house blends from my local Cigar store, and then these are the Tins I've tried so far: Peterson Nightcap and MM965, Presbyterian, Capstan Blue, Escudo, Orlik Golden Sliced, Haddos Delight, and Haunted Bookshop. Haunted Bookshop being my favorite, so much I've been buying the 8 oz cans. From what I hear Old Joe Krantz is similar so I'm going to try some of that next along with some Pegasus. In the mail right now I ordered some Savinelli blend I can't remember the name, it's supposedly taste like the old Three Nuns, which I haven't had. Haven't had the old or the new. But I've heard its good. So I guess we will see. I also haven't had any Kentucky dark fired blends yet I don't think so that's on my list along with Orientals. I don't really have any interest in Aromatics, I've had a few different ones and they were okay, I found myself cutting them with a straight Virginia though. And on that note I've found myself cutting straight Virginia with straight Burley. And I've found I've liked that better. Burns a little cooler and you get some more flavor I guess. I've found I enjoy my pipe the most in the Morning with Premium Black Coffee. I also enjoy eating some Hershey chacolate after a smoke. I find the three belong together as the perfect trifecta, Tobacco, Coffee, and Chacolate. Anyway I'm glad to be here.

Welcome, MortarMessiah,

Thanks!

Some of us old(er) codgers tend to stick with one blend!

I don't understand the codger thing. I've read a little on it and still don't really understand what it means.

As far as smoking just one blend, I think that's probably my end goal eventually. Just trying to find what I like first. Which it's gonna take me a min to try everything lol. So this adventure is already exciting

I think of a codger as someone who sticks to one thing, and would probably not consider trying something new.

Generally, I smoke one type of blend (English), but will try variations of English. It simply works for me.

With the stereotype being an OTC or bulk blend. To me it's somebody immune from PAD, TAD, and FOMO

We have a few members who only smoke burleys or at least stuff that has burley

There is certainly no lack for variety out there! Enjoy your trip down Discovery Lane.

[TheDennisBlack]

PAD, TAD, and FOMO?

Pipe Acquisition Disorder
Tobacco Acquisition Disorder
Fear Of Missing Out


Basically people who can’t stop buying pipes and tobacco

PAD, TAD, and FOMO?

Pipe Acquisition Disorder, Tobacco Acquisition Disorder, and Fear Of Missing Out. PAD and TAD are what we call the urge to constantly acquire new pipes and tobacco
