Greetings from New England!

[Prozart]

Hey everyone,

I find myself coming to these forums more and more often lately so I figured I should actually register an account and introduce myself.

My pipe smoking hobby started about ten years ago when my friend got me a pipe for my birthday. I went out and bought a 2 oz pouch of Captain Black Original and that lasted me for about nine years, smoking once every year or two. This past Christmas I mentioned to my wife that I'd like to get more into it and she bought me some pipe stuff and since then I've been all in. I've bought about 20 pipes and around 30 blends but I feel like I'm finally, thankfully, getting an idea of the kinds of pipes and blends I enjoy smoking. At this point my favorites are King's Stride, War Horse Bar, and Sherlock Holmes. My favorite pipe is a Peterson 317 spigot, also a gift from my wife. [=

Other than pipe smoking I enjoy exploring New England (we moved from the south up to Rhode Island about three years ago) and tea - specifically puer - more specifically ripe puer - 2008 Mengku Wild Arbor King to be annoyingly specific.

Welcome from Florida. I owned 2 businesses in R.I from 1990 till 2017. I moved to Florida in 2003 and left my manager to run things. I sold my last business in 2017 and got lucky I was able to. RI taxes are some of the worst in the country and I saved a ton moving. I hope you enjoy your time there as it is a pretty place.

Yeah we came from Tennessee and everyone thought I was crazy. Certainly more expensive up here but we absolutely love it. So much to do and it's beautiful!

If you are into seafood, there is some of the best in the world. Also you need to try a bowl of R.I clear chowder. It is not like the thick creamy stuff people think clams chowder is. Some of the best is in Newport.

Also the first time you get real drunk you need to eat Ny System Hot Weiners. It is a right of passage.

Haha, yes! Love the seafood up here, including the clear chowder. I still like white but clear is nice if you're wanting something lighter. And the first time I had a clam cake I swore I'd never leave RI!

I have of course had NY System, although never while drunk, lol.

Welcome to the forums ! LJ Peretti's is near you in Boston. Also try Davenport's restaurant (there are two locations- don't know where you are) ... they won the R.I. Seafood chowder contest many times ... the food is excellent and reasonably priced. If you find a good tobacconist in R.I. let us know. Thanks !

Thanks for the recommendation, I've added it to my list of places to try!

I went to college in Maine and lived there for 22 years. I lived in Westerly for a year. South County is definitely beautiful. Stay away from Nastygansett beer.
