I used to smoke cigarettes, quit, then cigars, quit that too, and started piping after seeing a friend smoke one. After a few smokes of a bulk burley in a cheap hardwood pipe, a rusticated Savinelli straight billiard with a lucite saddle stem followed me home from the shop. I’m nearly done with the burley and have a few blends lined up. I smoke once every weekend and this is the highlight of my week. I appreciate this forum and everyone in it.
