Just started the hobby in November of 2024 and I am trying a wide variety of different tobacco blends. Still working on a consistent packing. I enjoy the rituals of preparing and enjoying a pipe. I have enjoyed Hibernia from Fox and Balkin Sasieni. I look forward to learning and expanding my knowledge of the hobby.

Welcome from Connecticut!
Pipe smoking is a journey and it does take some practice and patience. I'm a relative newbie as well with only a little over a year's experience. Keep at it and enjoy!

have to ask what part of PA. Me I am in the darn middle of the state.
Lehigh Valley, I work in the Allentown area and live near the NJ border.
I have to admit something tickles my fancy to have another Bob from PA here. If you're also a bit eccentric then it could make one believe in providence.
nice view. Love the old mountains that kick the asses of people who make fun of them. Oh you call that a mountain out west ours go so high. Then they find out what a switchback is for and how much up and down goes into hiking here.
Yeah literally, ours may only be 25% as tall but we have 25,000% more of themnice view. Love the old mountains that kick the asses of people who make fun of them.

and the soil is rocky and not very soft. I love the times I've had friends from Colorado visit and take a hike. At first it's all this is going to be a walk in the park you guys don't know hiking. And then before the first camp they're already bitching and moaning about aches and pains. It's funny as funk.Yeah literally, ours may only be 25% as tall but we have 25,000% more of them
Side note another really fun thing to do with my urban friends is take them camping and point out signs of bears. They're just as funny as my country friends are in normal everyday parts of the big city. Yeah that's gang graffiti (no it's not). Yes people just hang out in the street and the hood is pretty safe in the daylight hours. They never believe you fully that it's fine the kids on the corner aren't going to eat you and the bear isn't going to mug you.
