My humble collection

[JRW11b]

Nothing fancy. Some good smokers here. I'm a new pipe smoker, just added a Savinelli Porto Cervo 122 that should be arriving within the week. Also got a couple more Apple Diplomats with some Vermont freehand stems incoming as well. Happy Easter to everyone here!

We all start somewhere and you’re off to a great start.

That's a great start for sure, they're way nicer than my first few pipes!

Nice pipes and that tobacco selection is spot on!

Man, no kidding. What you couldn't see was the other dozen or so jars of tobacco that weren't in that pic. Having a great time with this, many thanks to the folks on this forum, yourself included, for making it so enjoyable.

I want to say the first tobacco that clicked for me was Gaslight or Quiet Nights. Just like Scotch, I wanted the kick your face in experience so I started with Laphroaig, Ardbeg and Lagavulin. A lot of people say that we should “ease” our way into these things, but, I don’t think I would have been interested in Scotch or baccy if I hadn’t started with the strong stuff.

Still haven’t tried Chelsea Morning but have been wanting to…

Those are about the only pipes you need, truth be known, if you can keep it within limits. Unfortunately, few of us can, so pipes proliferate. Don't hurry.

Like you, I was the exact same way when I first got into smoking cigars and Scotch. I went for the most full bodied smoke I could find.
I really enjoy Chelsea Morning, it does what EMP is trying to do, but much much better. Its definitely a blend I'm going to always want to have around.
