Hello everyone!
Finally picked up pipe smoking a year ago because my role model I had since childhood smoked a pipe. Never smoked anything else before.
Until this summer I've been living in a campus dorm for many years so I couldn't smoke often as I had to take a lengthy walk outside campus to do so. Now I live in apartment and can at least smoke at the balcony or take a short walk to the bench outside.

Local tobacco shops have very poor selection of pipe tobacco, so I shop online. Heavily taxed so I have to pay a hefty sum, but hey, at least I don't smoke very often. Currently smoking Peterson Connoisseur Choice and Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular from my Italian basket pipe, but I plan to get a Peterson and branch out to English tobacco with Ashton Consummate Gentleman soon.

You're importing? Interesting. Out of curiosity, who are you buying from that is still shipping into Russia?
