Hi gang! My name is Dan. I smoked a pipe from about 2007 to 2015 or so, and then took a little break. I dug out my pipes again about a year ago and I am really enjoying myself. Before, it seemed like a habit. Now, I ususally smoke a pipe in the morning on the way to work, and one in the evening while reading a book on my front porch.

Hi Dan, from the northland here.

You said it seemed like a habit before and then you took a break. I’m just wondering if it was difficult for you at that time to put the pipe down? Nicotine withdrawals etc?

Hello and welcome from California Happy to have you here, friend!

That Mississippi River might settle down once it's had a breath of air and some jar time. Hopefully

Difficult? Oh yeah! I am a natural-born nicotine fiend. I smoked cigarettes for 15 years before I tried the pipe. Almost 2 packs a day. Quitting the pipe was a bitch. I was a total bear for a while. I used to use the pipe just like cigarettes. I chew occasionally, so that helped to take the edge off a bit when I was quitting.

I am most certainly a Virginia guy. I also hold my English blends near and dear to my heart. My all-time favorite blend before I took a break used to be Mississippi River. I made sure to get some in my first order. WOW has it changed! I was very disappointed. The vinegar aroma and taste nearly knocked me over. Nothing like it used to be. It's now aging in a Ball jar until it chills out. What a bummer.

My current favorite at the moment is C&D Bayou Morning. Second would have to be Orlik Golden Sliced. I have a small cellar with about 30 different tobaccos. I buy multiple tins of the same blend so I can jar up one and keep the others sealed.


Thanks for reading. I hope to converse with you all in the near future. Dan
