Hey everybody,
Just recently found this site not too long ago. I’ve been a pipe smoker for several years now started in the Army. I love smoking a pipe it is so relaxing and cathartic. Heck I’ve smoked all over the war even during gun fights ?. Well I was recently medically retired from the military. Honestly, I was lost for a long time trying to figure out what to do. I recently got in contact with an old battle buddy who lives in Alaska. So I’m now getting ready to move up there to start training as a pilot. I’m sure it’s less dangerous than being a Ranger for the past 13 years. Even if it’s harder I finally feel alive again and have a purpose. Sorry for venting to everyone but small things like that help. Anyway I’m looking for a pipe and pipe tobacco recommendations for my new journey in life. I generally like traditional pipe shapes. I currently have a moonshine stoker, Peterson 264 Canadian, Erik Stokkebye Vintage Natural 1957, Devil Anse, and a Nording Bent Dublin. They are all brown and smooth or leather blasted. As you can see very traditional. I prefer the bigger bowls for long smokes. As far as tobacco I smoke Seattle pipe club Mississippi River special reserve, I loved all the Frog Morton series especially cellar and on the town, McClelland Balkan, Mac Baren Syrian, Mac Baren Vanilla Cream, I recently got the Peterson tobaccos Early Morning Pipe, elizabethan, and nightcap. As you can tail I predominantly use English tobaccos but I am open to good aromatic‘s. Most of the ones I’ve tried over the years just taste like bad tobacco with flavoring added on top to cover up the bad tobacco. So if you could recommend some good aromatics I’ll take that as well but predominantly I am looking for a celebratory smoke to represent my new journey. I’m very sorry for the long essay but hopefully y’all can help me out. And I look forward to contributing to this group for many years to come.
