Hello from California

[Doctor Chopper]

Welcome. I would recommend Molto Dolce by Sutliff, not chocolate but a tasty aromatic quality blend.

 

[FHlight]

Welcome to the forum, from Frazier Park, CA. It's often sold out, but if you can snag a tin or two (or 14) of Mac Baren Burley London Blend, that'd be my suggestion for a nice VaBur with a pleasant, but not overwhelming, chocolate note.

Enjoy the journey!

Welcome from LA county. Apologies to your wallet.

And here, I thought I was the last Californian not to rent a U-Haul and move out of state.
A hearty welcome from N. Calif!

 

[Honkytonk Man]

Howdy & welcome, from Korea.

I joined because of the post casting aspersions on lurkers ;-)

Don't worry about that it's the only reason I post anything. I imagine thousands of lurkers getting confused and that's the thing that keeps me going.

I consider myself a newbie. I’m learning a lot from going through old posts.

My husband smoked a pipe when we first started dating (30 years ago) and I played with it a little back then. I am/was pretty bad at it—I quickly became frustrated with the nasty gurgle. He quit years ago when the dentist pointed out he was wearing down his teeth on one side.

California banned menthol cigarettes and I started eyeballing his old supplies gathering dust on a shelf. My old pipe (Savinelli 603) was still there, along with some ancient tobacco. It was unpleasant, but I did get my nicotine.

I started researching, cleaned my pipe properly, and bought some fresh tobacco. The first few weeks were a rough transition. I did a lot of reading (the information on this forum is outstanding). I’ve purchased enough pipes that I can rotate them, which keeps them dry, and acquired an assortment of flavored tobacco (aromatics?).

I’m three weeks into it now and getting the hang of it. Cigarette cravings are almost gone. I’m enjoying my pipes and loving chocolate flavored tobacco.

Welcome from Denver! You might want to consider trying Sutliff Match Ready Rubbed, a bulk tobacco.

I’m making a list for my next online shopping spree. Thanks for the suggestions! The list to choose from is a little overwhelming.

We’re from the San Joaquin Valley, a little town called Hanford. Gary runs a pet store in Lemoore, and I’m a recently retired math teacher.

Did you all get the hail falling from the sky up there this past week?
