Hello all, I am retiring next year and took up the practice of smoking a tobacco pipe this year; at 62 years of age. I love the flavor of tobacco and purchase many types of tobacco just because the variety is just so extensive. Each type of tobacco I like even though they are all so different. I'm working on making my own humidor because the moist tobacco seems to provide a more flavorful smoke. I am also working on the meter, the rhythm of smoking in such a way that the pipe remains lit but not hot. I find that hot smoke causes tongue bite so I try to avoid that. I am pleased to be a member here and wish everyone the best.
