I am a somewhat new pipe smoker here in Ocala looking for any fellow members willing to teach a new dog the old tricks. i have read a bunch of articles and watched many videos and still have issues with the proper packing methods. also if anyone knows of an actual tobacco store nearby where i can get good advice on different blends and such. I feel as if i am asking to be lead by hand but i am almost to the point of giving up on looking at the moment.
