I am not really very good at writing this sort of thing—pipe smoker for the last six years, from my 21st birthday. My late grandfather was a lifelong one.
I smoke English mixtures (Exmoor, Squadron Leader, one never-again-seen and sorely missed tin of GL Pease Westminster, at present trying Germain’s 1820).
Pipes at present Butz-Choquin “Liseuse”, B-C Rodeo and Chacom Berlingot. All with the odd and apparently purposeless metal stinger filters removed!
Also smoke, but not really relevant, Woodbine cigarettes if out and about—does anyone know of a good waistcoat pocket pipe? I know B-C made a folding one but it looked a beggar to clean and seems to be out of stock since their demise.
Hope to learn a little more and, if I ever become knowledgeable enough, to help others.
