Hello, Im Pep from Borneo in SEA. And I love to Smoke.
I registered to this place simply because I have questions and I am relatively new to Pipe Smoking.

I used to smoke pipes a couple of years ago, smoking RYO shags,
and had stopped for a while because my usual grocer doesn't stock them anymore
(surprisingly I found them in another town with a new packaging earlier this year).

Only until 2 months ago, when I stumble across a topic with my missus on art and drawings,
where I mentioned Mary's art(Frog Morton) to my missus since she was going into children's book,
The following day, I ordered me some corn cobs from a retailer who used to sell 'em to me.
The retailer however told me he doesn't sell pipes anymore and introduced me to another,
from which I currently got me pipes from, due to Covid, it usually takes 2 weeks or more for my pipes to get here via airmails.
I had also visited my local tobacconist and got me a beginner's Briar along with some other things like the Czech tools and tins.

I learn more about pipe smoking from youtube mainly from Muttnchop, Aristocob, Canerodpipe and George Bruno. (God bless Alan Kerslake and his soul)


I currently have a few Corncobs and a beginner's briar.
Also have a few tobaccos to pair with each of the pipes with.


Thank you for having me.

p.s. My main intention of going back into Pipes was because I want to get meself some Frog Mortons only to find 'em no longer available :(

Hey from central North Carolina. You could be the only Forums member from Borneo. It sounds like you have managed to get everything you need for pipe smoking. Yes, most of us have been in mourning for the Frog Morton line by McClelland, but there are plenty of good blends still out there, and you can get blending leaf and concoct your own if need be. Welcome aboard.
