Hi guys, I am relatively new to pipe smoking and am very excited to have found this website. I live in a pretty small town where you can't find pipe tobacco in nearly any of the smoke shops and you'd be even harder pressed to find someone to discuss it with. I started out with cigars but have found pipes to be much more enjoyable. I'm not sure what else needs to be included in an introductory post, I hope this was satisfactory. puffy

Welcome to the forum, also from a small town in (Southern) California. Likewise, pipe tobacco is about as prevalent here as cheeseburgers at a Morrissey concert. C'est la vie. SmokingPipes.com is a major game changer for folks like us.

Enjoy the journey! 👍

Welcome from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!

I'm new to pipes too: started in March, after 6 months of cigars. The closest tobacco shop recommended "Smoker's Pride pipe tobacco", and the actual best it had was Cap'n Black. I'm thankful for mail order sites!

Hello from London UK.

This great city is nearly as badly off for pipe tobacco B&Ms as California, I'm very sorry to say. There are fewer than a handful left and OTC in newsagents and supermarkets gets scarcer and scarcer. Online has either been my saviour or ruination, time will tell.
