Happy to be here and thanks to the benefactors who make this place possible! Look forward to meeting and discussing with the community.

I have been smoking a pipe for just over a year. I’m still sampling a variety of tobacco to learn what I do and don’t like as well as hone my skills in this hobby. In the mornings I tend to like a lighter aromatic such as 1Q, and in the evenings I tend to enjoy something like SPC Plum Pudding. Still exploring Virginia’s and VaPers. Sometimes I like the old codger blends, mainly Sir Walter Raleigh.

I own several pipes, from meerschaum (Missouri and traditional) to briar to Morta. My favorite style is poker, but I really like my sandblasted Apple by Il Duca.

Nice to meet you all and happy smokes friends!

Welcome to the forum, from Southern California. 1Q is nice, PP is certainly a great evening smoke. If you're attempting a foray into VA and VaPer-land, I recommend Peterson University Flake and Orlik Golden Sliced, respectively. Best to keep your aromatics in a different pipe than these.

Enjoy the journey!

Hello from Austin, Texas.

I started in Baltimore and spent many summer vacation weeks in Virginia. My dad was born in a spot where two railroad lines crossed, called Clifton Forge.

If you'd like a nice, easy path into VaPers, Give Viprati a whirl. There's a bit of burley in there, too, but, based on your current likes, I suspect you won't mind.

Welcome to the forum!
