Greetings from Turkey, fellow pipe smokers! I've been a pipe smoker for some 13 years, but I'm still learning (I've recently learned the breathing method, for instance). I have over a dozen of pipes, which include Chacom, Peterson, Savinelli, a meerschaum, some corncobs and a few other brands, The main problem here is obtaining tobacco.

Hello from London UK. Sorry to hear that you can't get tobacco, that would drive me crazy. Is this because the Lira is suffering?
Thank you, The problem was already there long before the depreciation of Turkish lira. I think it has something to do with government regulations on tobacco. Some tobacco shops only sell Captain Black and Mac Baren (sometimes Amphora as well). You can also find Mac Baren Scottish Blend on Duty-Free.

Welcome from Carmel, CA.

Please
put your location in your Profile, as people are forgetful.
Why: It will save time for others as to where you live when you mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos, wildfires, air quality, etc. In many instances that saves time for those who read your posts, and for you in not having to reply to inquiries. .
How:
Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose "Account Details", which brings up "My Account". "My Location" is halfway down. Whatever you're comfortable with- town, city, county, state. province, etc.
