I've recently started piping again after a long hiatus, the last attempt ended disastrously, I had zero guidance and was too ignorant/proud to consult the more knowledgable. Well, swallowed my pride and here I am! I've been hugely influenced by Muttonchop Piper's videos, and today I went out and purchased Peterson' Connoisseur's Blend!

I'm about to light up, wish me luck!!

welcome aboard. Berlin sounds like a lively happening place, it sounds like the kind of city where if you don't have a good time and find something amazing, then you're really bad at finding things. As far as pipe technique and stuff goes we will steer you all over the place. For example I am in the dry the tobacco till you think you've ruined it and that's when it's best. :)

Hello from Ukraine. Visited Berlin 3 years ago, wonderful city.

I too learned a lot from the muttonchop piper.

And Connoisseur’s Choice is my most favourite tobacco. It used to cost 20 euro here and now it’s impossible to get, while in Germany it sells for 14 euro. Still remains impossible to get it from Germany to here, so I try not to be that envious, lol.

What was so disastrous about your last piping attempt if you don’t mind me asking?

Thank you, I hope one day you can visit again, yes, it is a beautiful city!
He's also just so relaxing too? Like it's almost therapeutic to listen to him! I hope one day soon you can get it again! What is your second favourite tobacco?

Ha, I couldn't master the lighting and end up getting really frustrated! I think I've got it now!

Some members have been changing their avatars to pictures of women, so I figured I'd ask.

We do have quite a few women members here, so make yourself at home!
Lol. why have they being doing that? Awfully strange.

Thank you, I will.

Yes, it is, it's an amazing city. You don't have to go far, if you don't have a good time you're kinda strange or just not that into it! Do you cellar your tobacco, yes?

Oh man how I'd love to catch a few shows (music or theatre or both) try the food and just walk around smoking my pipe and enjoying the sites and vibes. So much great art has come out of that city and art in so many categories.
Do I cellar, sorta. Very lightly. I am not the pickiest smoker to be honest. I enjoy smoking and while I have favorites, if I could only get one blend for the rest of my life I'd still be happy. I tend to keep around a lb of each style of tobacco I like around. I cellar not to age but to save money and have a good stock of the favorites.
