Hey from central North Carolina, and welcome aboard. One of my middle school and high school friends was a proud Norwegian American, and when I moved from the area, he later became a good friend to my father. He was one of the founders of a Norwegian Day parade in my hometown, a suburb of Chicago, and often as not, Ralph (his name) was riding in one of the lead convertibles in the parade. As I recall, he had a huge crush on the homecoming queen beautiful girl in our high school class who was also Norwegian.
Hey, and thank you for the nice story! Well, yeah..I can't complain about the ladies here. I just wish they would appreciate my pipe smoking a bit more haha..

Thank you, mate! Yes, to a limited extent it is accessible. To obtain a variety of good pipes is though not so easy. Good well known tobaccos is hard to find. Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim has a couple of nice shops who offers some good ones (english/irish, german and danish). I some times order from there...Or mostly when I'm abroad.
And prices in Norway? I hardly dare to answer. About 40$ for 50 gr (puke)
Welcome from Canada!
And I totally get how you feel... Prices in Canada are similar: Like US$35 for a 50g tin. So I've been getting most of my tobacco shipped from the US

Hello pipe smoking fellows!
I´m happy to be able join you here. I am a Norwegian, and I have been a pipe smoker since 1996. My first proper pipe was a bent Danske Club. At that time I lived in Hamburg, where I was studying until 2001. My regular pipe shop there was Pfeifen Tesch, a really nice shop downtown (is recommended!).
English (and partly irish and some scandinavian pipe makers) straight, classy pipes is for me a passion, and I prefer tobaccos in the pure English taste direction. Lately there have been some new pipe investments.

(Pipe smoking at -10 Celcius is pleasant)

Kind regards,
Stian (Naits)
