Hello everyone from Florida. My name is Pavel, moved here about 4 years ago from Russia. Smoking pipe around 15 years, right from college times.
Love to smoke straight Va or Va/Per.

Glad to be here among great people!

Greetings Pavel!
I hope you enjoy your time here!
May I please ask what brand of pipe did you first smoke from?
I am from PA and find pipe cultures from other countries interesting.
There was a real famous leaf and papirosa called Herzegovina Flor that was classic for Russia through the 20th century, but nowadays they just make the leaf form. I think that you can't get it here in the US.
All the best.

I'm curious, how readily available is pipe tobacco back in Russia?

That's a good question. The only pipe blend maker I know of in Russia is the Pogar Factory. So I would be interested to learn more.
