Hello fellow pipe smokers ?
Currently working as an aerospace engineer in the South of France, I have spent quite a bit of my almost half century-long life living abroad for work and education. My most memorable years will unmistakably remain the seven years in England, where I learned to enjoy the simple pleasures of life beyond career ambitions.
A few of my English mates were regular pipe smokers and, in our Saturday night friendly gatherings, used to smoke. I was subjugated by the kind of magic present in pipe smoking, be it the gracious gesture of holding and moving the pipe, the expression of bliss displayed by the pipe smoker or the sensation of serenity it procures to the latter. This magic lighted up my interest in pipe smoking, dare I say, and, after a year-long resistance, I conceded to the art of pipe smoking in late 2019, my best decision ever !
I still feel like an eternal beginner in this pipe smoking hobby and, to be honest, I haven't really smoked that many times either. My few puffs were, however, nothing short of magic. I was advised to start off my journey with a mild aromatic tobacco and, so far, I'm enjoying Gawith Hoggarth's Ennerdale Flake. Any advice on how to proceed on this tobacco journey would be kindly appreciated.
Enjoying the simple pleasures of life, I am fond of growing things and of nature, as a whole. At last, but not least, my interest in all things of the past has naturally led to a constant lookout for pipes of the ancient world, so to say...
May I express sincere apologies to any puffers I may have bored out there with such a long post
With love,
Jay
