Oh No ! :eek: Just kidding ... Welcome to the forum from Connecticut USA. We have a large Hungarian community here in my part of Connecticut. Nice pipe in your avatar photo ... what brand is it ?
Its a Hungarian made by Szabó. I've seen some reviews on the forum about this Hungarian pipe, the only quality hungarian pipe out there.

Hi everyone Dave here from Hungary. I've been smoking pipe for little over a year now. I've been lurking in the shadows from almost day one, and learned everything about pipe smoking from this forum.

Sadly our Tobacco policies are pretty bad so buying good quality tobacco never was easy, but this alone not enough to stop smoking some pipe time to time.

I appreciate to be here around you guys and learn from the best.

Also wishing you a happier 2025!

Best Regards!
if no one already asked. What can you get there?

Well, they have some very bad quality.

Alsbo one of them with the vanilla/cherry aromatic but it has the good old bad quality cough syrup feeling.
Borkum is another widely available. Horrible bite on almost every batch I tried.
Tilbury are also some cough syrup style aromatics (at least for me).


The only decent choice if short of of tobacco is the good old Captain Black, eventually Stanwell.

Good think I have a bunch of good friends right next to border, so filling the cellar with Peterson's or any better known tobaccos are easy to get.

Also as you can imagine I started day one with aromatics what made me hate straight up thinking about them. I might pass the Captain time to time, but I rather just smoke the english blends

Welcome! Sorry to hear that good tobacco is hard to get there but at least you've got good smoked paprika.
