I'm new here, been smoking pipes a couple years, off and on. Used to smoke Mcclelland 221 series and a few others. I also like a good cigar once in a while. Prefer Aurturo Fuente Short Story. Smoking with a well aged sherried scotch or bourban is near perfection in my opinion. A moment in Shangri La.
Been trying other tobaccos and found some I like and some not so much. I got a free Iwan Ries 3 star blue with a pipe I bought and turns out I like it, a lot. its made by mac barens.
Been considering getting the c&d Carolina red flake but I hate buying something and not liking it. I feel like I wasted my money. I had some c&d speakeasy and I hated it. Tasted like soap to me. Not sure why, first time I couldn't finish. Dumped it out and cleaned the pipe. Gave it to a friend. The tobacco, not the pipe. I have 2 passed down from my dad. One says Italy, the other only has a logo? on the stem.
I think I can post a pic in the correct thread if it'll help. Then I have about 5 others I rotate, all bent types. Like their looks better. Thinking of getting a ceramic pipe from a company Lepeltier, I found on this forum while perusing.
I usually smoke while walking the dog. Gives me a reason to take my time and "get lost in contemplation". I usually go for vanilla types, have some Irish cream. Not sure about brands. It was at my local cigar shop in a jar.
Bought some Sherlock Holmes, Peterson I believe, tastes like cigarette tobacco. Not really bad, just not something I'll smoke a lot. Used to smoke cigarettes but quit cold turkey. Don't really have an addictive nature. My brother has tried everything to quit and doesn't believe it was that easy for me, but it was. A pack a day. Now only pipe or cigar a couple times a week.
Well I look forward to picking your brains and getting some knowledge, still working on properly loading my pipe.
My girlfriend recently retired from FEMA, so we have 2 houses of stuff to sort. Raining today so figured I'd take a minute to say hello and get some advice in the process. Thanks ahead of time and I appreciate your time wisdom and advice.
