Hello from BC. It’s good to see another Canadian here.
What kind of pipe(s) do you have so far and what kind of tobaccos have you tried?
Thanks everyone !
So, that whole jumped in with both feet thing...lol
I've never been a smoker of any kind and one day a few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to give pipes a go. The first day I picked up a nice little Brigham 3 dot Mountaineer 365 and a few 10g bags of of Mr.B's Natillas, buttered rum, Knuden's vanilla maple, peaches and cream. After doing some research about pipes needing some time to rest I went back the next day and picked up another Brigham Tundra 23.
Realizing how much I wanted to have a couple bowls a day I came to the conclusion I needed more pipes! I found my way to Peterson's site and thought the system pipe would be good to try. I ordered 5 in various bowl shapes all with the p-lip. I have to say I'm loving the p-lip and a sharp bend. It was meant to be I guess.
To date I have 6 Brigham's and 6 Peterson's....it's only been a couple weeks...this could be one heck of a rabbit hole for me!
I have to say though I really think the system pipe does works.. I had some Mac Baren's Vanilla Cream in the Brigham's and I found it to have a pretty decent tongue bite and smoked hot. But in the system pipe it's night and day different. No bite, cooler and a much more enjoyable smoke.
Remember, I'm not a smoker of cigs, cigars or anything else so I realize I'm definitely a bit softer than most.
