Welcome from rainy (3 days now) and miserably damp and cold Georgia. I have many friends from the Great White North.

Welcome Tyler. I'm currently in Connecticut, but have called Orillia and Winnipeg home. If you're anywhere near Montreal, stop in at Blatter and Blatter--one of the finest B&Ms to be found. In addition, they make their own pipes and blend some first-rate tobaccos. Please feel free to ask questions because you'll get all kinds of good advice. Some of the online retailers sell samplers that will allow you to try a variety of tobaccos. First thing is for you to decide on a general type of tobacco that satisfies your taste buds, and then begin exploring from there. Do you like English? Aromatics? Burleys? Etc. And start with a medium strength tobacco and work your way up or down from there. Pipes? The woods are full of them. Stanwell, Peterson and Savinelli are excellent and reasonably priced production pipes.

Again--welcome, Merry Christmas, and happy smoking.

In my long and storied history with briar, the entire 6 months of it, and as a connoisseur of fine tobaccos, I've tasted them all. Having tasted at least half a dozen blends and developed a sophisticated palate capable of distinguishing between flavored and not, it is my recommendation that you not take my advice as I've little idea about what it is I speak. All I really know thus far is that Escudo is nummy in the extreme.

Ciao

I'm really new to the smoker of the pipe, but I'm starting to really enjoy it. I stand correcting I'm in love with it. Just wanted to get to know some fellow pipe smokers and maybe get some tips. Any advice for the newbie?
