Hi, all

[judcasper]

No mate, never worked in catering.

Clearly a fan, though, if that answer is any clue :D

Whereabouts in the UK are you?

About 5 miles east of Manchester City Centre.
Thanks for the baccy rec. I'll do some pricing up on those you suggested.

PM me your address and I'll send you some small samples of various tobaccos, although I don't keep either of those particular blends.
If you have transport, the Glossop Pipe Club meets this Sunday at The Globe Inn, Glossop. I can't make it as I'm taking my daughter back to University, but chances are there be plenty of tobacco to try.

That's a very kind offer, Bob. Thank you

Sorry, Bob, forgot to acknowledge the Glossop club meeting. I'm without transport right now, but I don't feel like I'm 'there' yet anyway. Would feel out of my depth.

Welcome!
I am over in Sweden. Maybe we can do some trading in the future. I have a pretty good Cellar and you have access to nice U.K. Blends.

Hi, @brendhain. That would be cool but at the risk of sounding like a stuck record I'm brand new to this and currently have very limited funds, so I'd probably not be the best to start discussing trades just yet.
There's at least one other UK member I know of, so if getting hold of UK blends is your aim, I'm guessing there's others better suited than I.

Glad you landed on this forum.

Welcome, jud, from N California.
As you're near Manchester, only one question*: City or United??
Me, Spurs for life.... (and damn both the above clubs for giving my team trouble.)
* English Premier League football (soccer) clubs. The best league in the world.
