Hey everyone..
I have lurked on here getting information on pipes etc many times... so much that I even recognize some of the screen names I see (haha).
So I finally joined.. been smoking a pipe for about 3 years now.
My wife and I at Badlands National Park in September:
My main squeeze is Peterson pipes. (besides my beautiful wife of course, who also smokes a pipe from time to time but likes to think she does it more often.)
I have many other pipes: Danish, English, French, etc.... I've traded off a lot of my collection for Peterson's though. Even some pretty high end pipes!
For the money I haven't found a better quality or smoking pipe. Plus my mother is very into her Irish heritage so it's also just plain cool that they are from the Emerald Isle.
For tobaccos I like most Coin or Sliced tobaccos, as long as they don't contain Latakia! Not a big fan of Latakia or English blends. I seem to like Kentucky quite a bit.. some of my favorites are Dark Twist, Three Nuns Green, G&H Kentucky Nougat, or Newminster Imperial Nougat. Also like VaPers and Navy Flakes of all kinds, but also Mac Baren flakes like Modern Virginia or Vanilla Flake. I have quite a cellar of tobaccos but I'm trying to narrow it down a bit as it's getting out of control. The problem is the jarred tobacco and space... tins aren't such a big deal. I might have over 100 different blends.. maybe more? Some I have bought tinned and haven't tried yet.
To make a long ramble short: I'm Brian and I like Peterson pipes and various tobaccos!
if you are from Iowa feel free to say so! I haven't met anyone locally at all that smokes a pipe.
