Hello, I’m from Northern California. Northeast of Sacramento. Picked up my pipe again after 10 years of cigar smoking. Recently bought a Savinelli 321. Also a quite a few ounces of various tobacco from a local pipe and cigar shop. I consider myself a new to pipe smoking. I’m relearning the types of tobacco etc. I enjoy the articles and the knowledge everyone is sharing. I enjoy a bowl with tea. Hot or cold depending on the weather. Cheers!
