Good Afternoon Ladies and Gents -
I hope all is well! I have smoked a pipe on and off for a few years at a VERY infrequent rate. Normally I would enjoy a bowl or two on a fishing trip or special occasion. However, over the last few months I have really gotten the itch to take up smoking a pipe more seriously. It was an absolute travesty how I treated tobacco in the past, often finding the pouch or tin at the bottom of my fishing bin half opened and riddled with mouse droppings *gasp**
But, that's OLD me. I have been doing an extraordinary amount of reading on this forum and well as scouring the internet for videos and more reading material. I have found "Muttonchop Piper"'s video very informative. In any case, I'm doing as much learning from you guy on here as I can well trying to now build a stock of tobacco.
I only have (2) pipes right now and 13 blends. As I only smoke about 1-3 bowls a week, my current selection should last me quite some time. Although I am slowing growing my collection and trying to explore different blends to see which one I gravitate toward most. I'm excited to close down this week and pack a pipe using the newly acquired skills from the various threads and videos I have been watching. I plan to enjoy a bowl of Plumb Pudding with a healthy pour of Woodford Reserve (neat) tomorrow.
My current (very unimpressive) collection is as follows:
Thank you for your time and and have a great week!
