Howdy from Tennessee

My name is Debra, 52,smoked my dad's pipes for years, he passed and just started again. I prefer a small pipe, 4 to 5 inches, and sweet tobaccos.

Welcome from Kentucky! I'm a native Tennesseean myself, but right now I'm living north of the border.

Welcome from Austin, Texas.
My wife's son is in Nashville and we visited a few years back, during the "big eclipse" event.
I got to visit BriarWorks and had a blast. If you've not yet met Pete & company, swing by one day. You'll find it enjoyable and informative.
Once you make it through the enjoyable process of figuring out our pic posting contortions, you'll have to show us your dad's classic briars!

Jaytex,

My dads collection of pipes and guns sadly were stolen shortly after he passed, I wish I had both.

There's a special tier of hell for people like that, right between lawyers and politicians.
Reminds me of a great bumper sticker I saw recently. On the back of an old pickup truck, with the bed full of aluminum cans, fishing rods and a few tires.
It said, "Touch my fishin' stuff and I'll show you my huntin' stuff."

Pappymac, I am in middle Tennessee, about equidistant from Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Hoping to get some experts advice on good small pipes and good sweet tobacco. Just ordered my first good one(I think), a Big Ben ranger. Also ordered some BR cherry liquor and some PA cherry vanilla, will see how that goes.

Welcome from Knoxpatch. Love those aros. They grow on ya.

OK Debra, To give us an idea of what tobaccos to suggest, what have you been smoking?

I prefer cherry, vanilla, rum, bourbon, etc... Sweet aroma and taste, mellow tobacco flavor is what I smoked before.

As far as small pipes go, you might like Savinelli's Petite series. I don't own one, but I can attest to Savinelli's great quality and value overall. I don't smoke many flavored (aromatic) tobaccos. so I can't give much advice there, but I am quite partial to GL Pease's The Virginia Cream when I want an aromatic smoke. It has a vanilla/bourbon taste.

Welcome from IL! My dad lives down in TN, so I go down there about once a month. It's beautiful and scenic!
