Welcome from North Carolina. I hope you the tools you need here to make your journey into pipe smoking a pleasant experience. We are here to help.
Welcome John, from Savannah,Georgia. There's a wealth of knowledge and entertainment here from fine people everywhere in the world. Enjoy!
Top of the morning (here) in Central Coast, CA!
You can put your location in your Profile—(please!—because people will forget!) 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., etc..
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. Just country if you must.

Yes I agree about the cost of tobacco in the UK, I wouldn't be smoking as much if I had to buy it all myself but I received some from a forum member, while another member sent me some clay pipes.
I got into clay pipes since I went to see living history re-enactment where I saw costumed people smoking them (Cavaliers, Redcoats etc) and fancied trying one!
I find the price of pipe tobacco in the UK easier to stomach when you compare it with the price of machine made cigars. For example, most tins here run £15. That's the same price as a pack of five Villigers. How many, longer, more enjoyable smokes do you get out of that tin?
Welcome from Alberta! We have even higher tobacco prices and taxes here, but whenever I feel bad about it I just look at what our unfortunate friends in Australia and New Zealand have to pay...
