Hello from Montreal

[sparker69]

I've checked these forums for so much useful information over the last couple years, that I've decided to take my lurking to a new level and actually open an account.
I've been pipe smoking for about two years now. Been smoking cigars, (mainly Cuban) for around 10. I enjoy both for the same reasons: a quiet time to reflect and savor some good tobacco. And I must admit, my first reaction to pipe smoking was: "Wow! There are so many radically different varieties of tobaccos and blends!" and "Wow! This is much cheaper that Cuban cigars!".
Although I am learning that despite, the tobacco being cheaper, the pipe buying bug can be more expensive.
In terms of tobacco and pipes: I enjoy Balkan/English blends - Maltese Falcon in particular is a favourite, and have been exploring VaPer/straight virigina for the last year or so - really enjoying Capstan Blue. I love flake format in particular, (like the HH series).
Pipes: a couple Savinellis, a couple Blatters, a Brebbia, Stanwell and a new Bruno Nuttens that is smoking like a dream. Ciao everyone!

Welcome from Pennsylvania and New York. Yes, like most pastimes, there are are deep rabbit holes to go down. Exploration of different tobacco blends, pipe shapes and marques, can take you on a journey that results in a thinner wallet, but, many worthwhile experiences.

I would love to hear your take on James Foxes the bankers it's a cigar leaf blend that tastes suspiciously Cuban to me even the American version which I think might only be different in that it has a sticker over the description turning Cuban into Cuban seed.
