lol well some people say I look a lot like her! anyway she is a bit of an inspiration...let’s face it there’s not a ton of girl pipe smokers out there...I’m an aspiring artist (painter) so it’s a little easier for me to ‘get away with it’...Actually I started because I was looking for a healthier alternative to cigarettes, and one day I said ‘what the hell-I’ll give pipe smoking a try!’ I really love the process of smoking, it slows me down a bit, which I need!
Great! Glad to meet you!Sure thing. While my wife and children are tangata whenua from Te Arawa (a Māori tribal grouping), I personally am not Māori. I’m what you would call Pākehā, Tauiwi, and Tangata Tiriti.
I am however passionate about Te Reo Māori (The Māori Language) and its normalisation.
I love them too! I think they’re the most beautiful pipes, so flowing and elegant and unique...
Depending on exactly where in "Northern Illinois" you are, you have Brick and Mortar store options where there might be knowledgeable staff or at least jars you can smell.
Tinderbox in Rockford. La Vita in St Charles. Kenny The King in Lakemoor. And my favorite Arlington Pipe and Cigar in Arlington Heights - the pipes and tobaccos section there is incredible and curated by the most friendly and knowledgeable woman in the business.
Don't neglect your local pipe club, either! The Chicagoland Pipe Collectors Club takes a _very_ broad view of "Chicagoland".

While my wife is part north-of-the-mason-dixon and part Texan, I am 100% Texan from the Texhoma region and am passionate about the normalization of beef brisket as America's national barbecue.Sure thing.

Hello, from a fellow citizen of the People’s Republic of Illinois?
A few good Virginia’s..... MacBaren HH Pure Virginia, Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster, Capstan Gold Flake, Sutliff Red Virginia Crumble Cake, (Their RC507 is good too, but really needs some age on it); F&T Cut Va Plug;
And on the secondary market (not sure you wanna go down that rabbit hole); McClelland Christmas Cheer (my personal favorites are the 2006 and 2011).

Welcome, from Georgia. I used to live in the Lombard, Villa Park areas when I was younger. Miss the snow something fierce.
Nice calabash pipes, great smokers. My favorite is no longer made, Villiger 1888 Early Day. next I guess would be Sherlock Holmes from the baccy shop that use to be in town.
