Hello from Sweden, via Australia

[Anchovies]

Hello folks,

I'm originally from The Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia but currently living and working in Stockholm, Sweden.

I've tried smoking pipes on-and-off for the past ten-or-so years. Previously I was looking for a replacement for cigars (too expensive & too smelly) and now I'm looking for a replacement for Swedish snus (I think it's something like dip in the US) because it's a) too wet & gross; and b) I always feel I need something to drink with it, so I'm either loaded up on coffee or booze just to support my snus habit.

I like the pipe because for whatever reason I don't feel the need to have any liquid with it, unlike cigars and snus. Unfortunately I have a real problem with tongue bite, which I suspect is chemical and genetic, not related to smoking speed. This has been largely nullified (but not completely eradicated) by using filtered-pipes, including a Peterson P-Lip and experimenting with tobaccos, avoiding the more burny-ones.

Currently my favourite toby is Squadron Leader.

Anyway, nice to be aboard. Seems like a nice forum.

Hahaha. Very funny.

I love Australia (and the mighty Wallabies), but I love Sweden too. It's nice to travel.

Welcome, from Sydney, Oz
Nice to meet another anchovy aficionado ?

Being in Sweden, you are lucky to have access to more pipes and tobacco, and at much lower prices, than back in Oz. I'm envious
