Thank you! Well, it is viewed pretty OLD fashioned! No hit at all...Probably not a surprise. Generally not cool, though in certain circles it is. I really don't care about that. Much more concerned about the strict norwegian tobacco policy..
Hello from Norway

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)

Hey welcome from pa. I certainly don't fully agree with the -10 Celsius part that's right where I start thinking I can wait till tomorrow to smoke. I had to do the conversions though to realize that -10 is far more bareable then I assumed it would be.
So I've been pipe smoking two years longer then you and yes it's competition. But only for people who started smoking pipes 94 or later.
I have to be honest. I personally find the price here in the U.S. astonishing the other way. I can't believe I can get something that is luxurious for such a price. I guess what I am saying is I'd always prefer spending less for more always, but you could drive the price up quite a bit before I think it's too much (sadly my wallet doesn't always agree with that).
Thanks to you all for this kind and warm welcome. I appreciate every single greeting and likes from each and every one of you. This seems to be a great forum!
Welcome form Scotland, I was in your beautiful country Nov22, in Bergen, absolutely stunning place with such friendly people and had a good smoke of my pipe on the summit of Lovstakken and amazingly a friendly local spotted the pipe pulled out his own and a 30 min smoke on a snowy hilltop was had. A real lasting pipe memory.
Thanks a lot. Oh nice! Glad to hear that. Sounds like quite a memory. Yes, Bergen is lovely, and actually for some reason pipe smoking is more common there..
Evening smoke in Lofoten, Norway. Tobacco pouch contents Standard Mixture, Peterson. Happy smoke to all of you!
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.
