I started smoking a pipe in the mid 1980s; about a decade ago I took a break, and I'm just finding my way back. Fond of VA-based flake tobacco as well as anything Burley, especially good old codgers. I have about six briars now (mostly estate) and three cobs. Pleased to meet you all!

Welcome from Florida. I am also a flake fan. You might want to check out Capstan Blue Flake, Solani 633 which is a Virginia/Perique and Solani 660 which is a Virginia/Kentucky. The 660 needs to be jarred as it doesn't come vacuumed sealed like their 633 50 gram tins.

Hi, Chi! I grew up in the near northwest suburb of Park Ridge, an easy walk to the Chicago neighborhood of Edison Park, from whence as a teenager I made many bus and EL rides to the city. Welcome aboard. This is a great place for information, knowhow, history, and more about pipes. I'm long since in central North Carolina, after I landed here in school, which evolved into marriage.

Don't neglect your local pipe club just because we can't meet in person right now!


If you care to, sign up there for the email list and we can find you a virtual pipe club meeting almost any day of the week right now.

I'm on the NorthWest side myself. Old Irving Park.
