Hi all, I’ve taken the plunge while out in Cardiff for a few drinks! Scratched my itch of many years and bought a pipe and some tobacco. I didn’t believe the talk about state of zen etc. BUT wow, I have quite a stressful job but smoking a pipe has brought me some ME time and I’m in awe of it. I will be looking for some advice on a decent pipe and tobacco choices etc…Looking to buy a decent pipe very soon!
Anyway nice to meet you all
Welcome!

20 years too late Bach!? There used to be a good one in Abergavenny but I don't know if it's still going. We get all our pipes & baccy online now.
In the Summer I went to Bromyard Folk Festival where I met four pipe smokers one guy was from Abergavenny he told me he buys his tobacco from a tobacconist in the town and had never bought tobacco online.

That's good news, I'll have to pop in next time I'm passing. ?

Welcome to the forum! There is certainly a lot of advice on here, especially to help you spend your money.

Footie fan?

Please put your location in your Profile, as people are forgetful.
Why:
That will save questions in the future as to where you live when you later mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos, wildfires, air quality, etc. In many instances that saves time for those who read your posts. It cuts down on posts or PMs asking where you are.
How:
Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose "Account Details", which brings up "My Account". "My Location" is halfway down. Whatever you're comfortable with- town, city, county, state. province, etc.
