Hello from NC!

[ahinesdesign]

Hello all! Recently picked up pipes again after a decade-long hiatus, and am trying to learn as much as I can since I never really had a good understanding of pipes years ago...

I hail from eastern NC, land of bright-leaf tobacco (though it ends up in cigarettes, mostly). Have smoked cigars since I was 18, but enjoy exploring other tobacco horizons. Current favorite tobacco is Semois / Tabac Manil, but enjoy straight Virginia’s and VA blends, too. I stay far away from cased/flavored tobaccos, and have a particular distaste for Latakia.
