Morning gentlemen. I've been smoking my pipes for a long time (20+ years), almost all straight-stem at this point. Favorite pipe is the Savinelli 803 EX, of which I have 12 or so, and stick to an aromatic Cavendish blend for my tobacco. Still learning about pipe care, which is what brought me to this site. Looking forward to your advice and smoke fellowship! About 30 miles outside Minneapolis, looking for some local pipe gatherings/clubs.
