Hello
Started smoking pipes about 10 months ago. Was previously a hardcore cigar smoker - but then I had two wonderful children and my ability to spend a couple of hours smoking cigars seemed to have disappeared when the kids appeared.
8 years later I convinced myself I should take up the pipe - less time commitment and easier to stop and restart a pipe than a cigar I reasoned.
In 8-10 months I have tried a number of blends and I found I have enjoyed orlik golden slice, cult conspiracy, and my mixture 965 more than others.
The pipe I reach for most is a Peterson Irish Made Army (406) fishtail. Really enjoying the look of the army mount. I also like the Missouri Meerschaum cobbit series.
Been enjoying the discovery of new blends and pipes also been happily searching for the perfect tamper.
