Hi to all

[olddogg60]

I just wanted to say Hi to the forum members. I'm old to life but new to pipe smoking. I look forward to your advice and tips. Pipe smoking is a pleasurable pastime I have found and I'm happy that I finally decided to give it a go.

Welcome and I’m glad to hear we’ve gained another pipe smoker, the more the merrier. Enjoy your time on the forums but be careful, your pipe collection and tobacco’s will probably double in size now that you’re a member.

"but be careful, your pipe collection and tobacco’s will probably double in size now that you’re a member. " I can see that happening to me for sure.

Here are the blends that I have been trying out.
