Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.
I have bought several pipes(briars). I have a dr. grabow (gave to my dad-in-law), a generic pipe (9mm)and got a Savinelli (6mm)recently. Tried smoking them with and without filters. I generally like bent pipes.
I liked the English without the filters and some aromatics with the filter. I generally will try it with the filter if I think the tobacco too moist for my palate. I have been reading recently about letting the tobacco air/dry out a before smoking. Anyone have comments on that?
I have bought between 15-20 different kinds of tobacco to try out. I am in Los Angeles so I am very limited for finding pipes and tobacco stores. If I find a store the pricing is about 2x the price online. If anyone knows a place please let me know.
I bought tobacco from pipes and cigars . com . Yesterday I had the Old Glory blend (by Russ?). That was a great smoke! I have also tried Captain Black, like the Gold blend, to Dunhill's Royal Yacht. Royal Yacht tasted great too, until..... it felt like I drank a bottle of vodka. I also tried an English blend that a local shop had. It tasted very earthy and floral, but not sweet at all. Just a couple of months into it though. Any suggestions on tobacco?
What I enjoy about pipe smoking? It makes me slow down and enjoy something. It something from the old world, it cannot be rushed. It has to be savored. I also enjoy what you guys have been posting on this site. I spent lots of time reading your posts and finally decide to join.

Welcome to the best pipe site on the web, tons of great people here, I hope you enjoy your stay.
Welcome! Always great to see a new member. I think you'll find this place helpful and welcoming. Enjoy your time, jump right on in, and smoke on!
Warm welcomes, friend. I prefer my tobacco on the dry side, but I try not to dry it out too much, because it can lose a bit of flavor. There are a number ways to dry out tobaccos, and everyone has an opinion on them. For flake tobacco, I usually blow dry it on low heat until it's dry but not bone dry. With most cuts though, I just spread an amount over a paper towel or a sheet of paper for 5 minutes to an hour, depending how moist it is. Everyone has a preference on how dry/moist their tobacco is. Just experiment, and you'll find out. Happy smoking.
Welcome, I think you'll enjoy the company here. Everyone is always willing to help. Don't be afraid to ask anything, we all were new once.
Welcome...don't be afraid to ask questions when you are unsure or just curious about something. Happy you joined
You've made a wise choice my friend! In taking the hobby and these forums. I started here I guess a little over a month ago and I have never felt so welcome as a newbie in my life. Everyone here takes the time to answer even the most basic questions and always willing to help. Happy smoking!
