Greetings everyone. I'm Bowie from Minnesota. I'm a new (4-6 weeks) pipe smoker. I've come to the pleasures of pipe smoking a little late in life, but better late than never.
I've been lurking here for awhile and have learned a lot from y'all. This forum is a wonderful evolving archive of information.
I smoke a couple of MM cobs (Legend and Huck Finn) and an old Dr Grabow Savoy that was in relatively new condition when I inherited it. I also have a Bari Senior (tomahawk shape, I believe is the right term) that I scored on eBay, but I have not smoked it yet. I know I should get to it soon after reading lots of good comments here about Bari pipes, especially from mso489.
As for tobacco, I'm trying to widen my horizons from straight aromatics a bit. I have some Lane HGL and a mild English blend from a Minneapolis B&M (Lewis) as an intro to Latakia and English, as well as some C&D Yorktown to see how Virginias and I get along. I would like to develop my tobacco taste palate and get better at identifying things beyond "smoky" or "sweet."
My favorite color is grey.
Long Live the Oxford Comma.
