Welcome from the Central Coast of California!

You can put your location in your Profile—(please!—because people will forget!) That will save questions in the future as to where you live when you later mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos, wildfires, air quality, etc., etc..
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. Just country if you must.

Nor did he try to sell me anything but what I needed.

sounds like you have a solid B&M (brick and mortar) in your area, that's very rare these days. For everything else, there is pipesmagazine!

Greetings from the Cayman Islands.

I see Mr. Brog pipes quite frequently now. How do they smoke?

Glad you asked!

I have three of them at the moment. My first was the Old Army 21 with the Rustic Walnut Finish and Windscreen (which really works in strong winds. No risk of Burnout.) While I write this, I am happily puffing on my #13 Dezerter with Pecan finish. They have a bit of a sweet taste until you have a cake.

They do not disappoint!

I did my research and ordered a Missouri Meerschaum Diplomat "Apple" from Amazon.

Once I had that in hand, I needed Advice and pipe tobacco and I was lucky enough to end up at Barclays Pipe, Tobacco and Cigar. (Hopefully it's ok to post the name of the shop as I have no affiliation with them other than being a loyal customer).
<< Snipped bits out >>

Yes, adding the name is a good thing. So would location of the shop.
