Hello, from the Buffalo/Niagara NYS

[MrE]

I've been a dedicated pipe-smoker for 1-2 years, now (although I first smoked on/off for about a year, ~40 years ago.) Currently, my preferred blends are English & Balkan, and my favorites come from G.L. Pease.
I can still be amazed how my taste changes within relatively short periods of time with regard to specific blends: I may initially smoke a few bowls of X, and think, "This is delicious! I should get an 8oz tin!!" Then, a little while later: "I can't believe I've got 6oz left of this %$#! How can I unload it?" And then, after a break, "This is delicious!", again. B)

I feel your pain, that is why I have 24 blends in rotation right now.

Fur Coat, what is that cut little fella in your avatar? Is he a pet?

OP, you've to the right place for new ideas and commiseration about all manner of pipe-related things, your tastes changing, etc.

It's a mink and if you look close there is a pipe in his mouth. This came about on the "explain your call sign" thread and a forum member came up with the pic.

Welcome! I think we all suffer from that affliction for awhile...fortunately, some tobaccos really do get fuller, richer, and tastier as they age. Beauty is that not only do our tastes mature, but the tobacco can be getting better while we are!
