New piper from New York here. I have been a cigar buff for awhile and recently inherited a few pipes from my late grandfather. I fondly remember the aroma of pipe tobacco (Captain Black regular) in his garage and after cleaning them up decided to give them a try. My father used to smoke many moons ago and saw me trying it out and decided to get back into it as well. Within a few short months I have already added several pipes to the stable (Nordings are my go-to) and looking to branch out from aromatics and basic English blends.
