Hello Everyone,
New pipe smoker living outside Palmer, Alaska just introducing myself. Been a cigar guy for a decade or so, made the switch to Piping about 2 months ago. This site has been an invaluable resource since I have started smoking a pipe. Just wanted to say hello to everybody and thank you all for your sage advice and blend/pipe recommendations over the last couple months. I have utilized it so often I decided I better join up.
So far I have learned that I am a big fan of English blends and Va/VaPers. Loving Seattle Pipe Club, Pease Maltese, Esoterica Dunbar, Capstan, Nightcap, Ashton Artisan's, and much more so far. And yes, even the occasional aromatic (Eileen's Dream and Nording Labrador as well as some local blends my fav's so far) Recently I Managed to get my hands on some Rattray's Old Gowrie that I am planning on loading up tomorrow to celebrate my wife and I's new baby daughter being 3 weeks old! Can't wait!
I am also already hard on the Savinelli and Peterson bandwagon when it comes to pipes, although I did pick up a Nording Freehand I am looking forward to sparking on special occasions as well.
I am also a craft beer brewer/enthusiast as well as a whiskey buff, hockey fan, and fishing and hunting maniac.
And to follow the rules of the requested post information my favorite color is green, and I have not had the pleasure (or displeasure?) of sampling mixture 79 as of yet
I look forward to interacting with you all going forward! And thanks again for all your contributions to what has become a great resource!
Cheers and happy piping!
Frank
