Hi there..been a pipe smoker for over 10 years..My first Introduction to tobacco was cigarettes ( regrettably) for several years..then I tried cigars which I could never get a proper taste for and finally Pipe tobacco which has been the most rewarding experience..I would call myself a Virginia/Vapour guy but do enjoy the occasional English and Balkan blend as a change of pace and I have a modest collection of pipes and tobacco. Wish everyone the very best of luck for the new year!!

Welcome from Virginia USA

Welcome from Michigan! We lived in Trim, Co. Meath, for a short time in the 90's. Welcome to the forum, glad to have you.

Welcome aboard from central North Carolina, U.S. I enjoyed my trips to Ireland, the windy Cliffs, the ancient temple at New Grange, the changeable weather several times a day, and the palm trees from the Gulf Stream, not to mention the music and the Books of Kell. I asked a coffee vendor if there were boat rides on the Liffey, and he politely took me to the safety rail and pointed to a grocery trolley in the middle of the river only half emerged.

Any local Irish tobaccos that you are fond of? I’m a big fan of Irish & British tobaccos.

Hi.. I'm from the North West of Ireland in a small border town called Strabane

Haven't been there but my wife has family in Clare. Visited there many times. Are you able to find a good selection of tobacco near you?

Welcome from Austin, Texas.

Hi there..yes there is a good flake called original flake..used to be called Ogdens Walnut Flake..Virginia/burley based.. Mellow Virginia is another good flake and Condor long cut.

Hi there...Clare is a beautiful part of the country..we can get only a small selection of OTC tobaccos such as the condors ..St Bruno...Mellow Virginia and a few others..there are a number of good online tobacco shops within the UK and Ireland which offer a wider range of tobaccos.

Yessir, I’m a huge Condor man, I stocked up on the plugs several years ago, I also have quite a bit of the Long Cut & Ready Rubbed stocked away too, enough to last a lifetime. Walnut Flake is a good one too, I found it similar to St. Bruno but I personally prefer Bruno and it’s easier to get here in the US. Maltan RR is another good one worth trying if you haven’t already. I still haven’t tried Mellow VA, it’s in the list though.
