Welcome from a Northern friend.Thought I'd join in! I've smoked pipes for about 15 years, tried a lot of blends, but my favourites are VA/Pers, straight VAs, and the odd English / Balkan. I've dabbled with burleys, but they're not really my cup-of-tea (I'm part way through a tin of HU Director's Cut and I keep persevering!).
As for favourite pipes, I like the classics - English and Danish. I don't have many high-end pieces though.
I started making pipes in 2020 too. If you're interested in any of my work, I post most on Instagram at h_pipes_england.
Cheers!
