Hello everyone,
I started into this about 3 years ago with a single pipe from my great grandfather.
At the time I was more into cigars, until one day I walked into my local B&M store and they informed me I was their only customer buying anything pipe related. They offered me a deal on their remaining inventory of pipes and bulk tobacco - needless to say I jumped on it and my interest has grown exponentially since.
I enjoy a variety of blends (burley tends to be my last pick though), some of my favorites are Mississippi River Reserve, Old Ironsides, Devil's Holiday, Raspberries in Cream # 715 and Woodbridge.
Cobs are my go-to, followed by a Boswell.
If you are ever in Slippery Rock, let me know - the local shop has a nice smoking area!
