Welcome from Sydney, Oz.
I was born in Malaysia but have been living in Oz since 1968.
Both my paternal grandparents were born in Malaysia, but their families were from Guangdong originally.
So I do speak Cantonese (after a fashion), but no Mandarin

Love to hear from you about the pipes scene in China - accessibility of pipes and tobacco and places to smoke.
Whether tobacconist/pipe shops are plentiful ?
Or do you have to shop online ?

We have a very strong anti-smoking lobby in Oz and a government hellbent on taxing tobacco out of existence.
Also harsh “No Smoking“ legislation in most public spaces.
So only place to smoke comfortably, without harassment is at home.

Hopefully China is not going down the same path anytime soon.

Welcome from Wisconsin (Northern US). I am very interested in pipe culture in China. The last coupe of years at the Chicago Pipe Show there is a growing number of Chinese carvers doing incredible work. How easy is it to get tobacco and is it cheap? Where can you smoke? Are there other pipe smokers near you, are there pipe clubs?

Thank you very much for your advice, because my country can not access the foreign network at any time, so I often can only log in once in a while

欢迎来自威斯康星州(美国北部)。我对中国的烟斗文化非常感兴趣。在芝加哥烟斗展上,越来越多的中国雕刻师完成了令人难以置信的工作。买到烟草有多容易,便宜吗?哪里可以抽烟?您附近还有其他烟斗爱好者吗,有烟斗俱乐部吗?

Most of the Chinese people also buy on SP. Hundreds of thousands of people smoke pipes and have their own small circle. There are also many handmade pipe makers.
