Welcome from Indiana!

Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation had a limited run this year of something called Peaty Kentucky. I passed up the chance to buy it, but I was able to smell the blend. Sounds like it might be just your thing. Perhaps they'll do it again in the future.

Glad you're enjoying the hobby. This is a great community. I've learned a lot here in the short time I've been smoking. Invite your friend if they're not already a member!
Sound interesting for sure.
I'm loving it. It's like having a strong coffee and a dark smoky whisky all in one.
I've got one blend from my local tobacco shop which is heavy in latakia and dark kentucky Cavendish. Really good.

Greetings from Idaho, USA. Welcome to the forum!
I strongly concur with your affinity for English and Balkan blends with a nice dram of Islay Scotch!
Are you partial to a particular Scotch?
I very much enjoy Laphroaig and Ardbeg.

Ah, now we are talking. Ardbeg I like, I find Laphroaig a bit medicinal on the whole but still great.
My poison would have to be Talisker (any of them although the 10yr old is a safe bet) or Ardmore. All great with a pipe!

Hi all,
Just recently got in to pipe smoking after a friend showed interest and we both got pipes.
That was about 2 months ago.
Since then I've been through several blends to find a general type that I'm happy in and have settled on English and Balkan flakes for the time being . Currently smoking Peterson Flake and Solani 763 Black & White.
I'm curious about aromatics, but haven't found something that I particularly enjoy yet.
Using a Stanwell 83 Amber pipe, a peterson standard 303 and a little cob.
Being a fan of smokey peaty whiskies, this is all falling well in to my wheelhouse!
Welcome from Virginia

Welcome! Cornwall is a big favorite, Port Isaac (Wenn!) in particular.

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.
