New Member from China

Hello everyone,I've been smoking a pipe for five years。
There is no physical shop for pipes in China, so most of my pipes and pipe tobacco are purchased from the United States and Europe. I basically need to smoke one pipe a day. Along with Pu'er tea, I have many Pu'er tea from the 1990s. It is similar to pipe tobacco, the older , the more fragrant it is.
I have more than 30 pipes, and I like larsen pipes. I attach a Larsen pipe I bought in a German pipe shop and a larsen SG10 I bought from an American SP, both of which are my favorite pipes. In addition, I also like American pipe maker JT Cooke, who's pipes is very good.
我最喜欢的烟斗烟应该是 FT 的 Cut Virginia Plug，我可以抽一整天。

Beautiful pipes! I, too, enjoy pu’er. I am more fond of black and oolong (huang guan yin and dan cong) teas, but a nice sheng pu’er is delightful when the desire hits. Welcome to the forum from Philadelphia!

Welcome! Those are some beautiful pipes and it is very interesting to learn that there are no physical pipe shops in your country. I am from northern USA

Wow, nice to see someone from China.
Wanted to ask: I see a lot of pipes being sold on AliExpress. Do you also have access to buying there? And most importantly, would you buy a pipe there?

欢迎欢迎! Which city are you joining us from?

I spent some time in Beijing/Shanghai many, many moons ago. I did a little traveling around and have very fond memories of both the country and its people.

Welcome from Pennsylvania. I’m glad you’ve found us. I’m getting into Pu-er myself just recently. I can’t help but notice how it resembles a crumble cake of pipe tobacco:

Welcome from Taiwan! I drink Pu'er tea while smoking pipes as well. They are great match together.
I also recommend drinking chocolate milk if you're not allergic to it.

Pu-er.
Tried it a few times.
Looks, smells and tastes like stagnant ditch water.
Can't see the appeal personally.

Fresh Pu'er tea and that stored in a dry & cool place tastes mild sweet and smooth.
However, they cost an arm and a leg.

Welcome from California! I also enjoy tea with my pipes. It's a great match for Virginias and VaPers. It would be great to hear more about the market for pipes and tobacco in China. Does the Dunhill shop in Shanghai still carry pipes?

Welcome aboard from North Carolina, USA. Many years ago I took a lecture course on CD's about 5000 years of Chinese history. I really enjoyed it, the different dynasties and ethnic groups that ruled over centuries and millennia. I admired the way the Chinese culture sustained itself through many changes as a coherent and single cultural progression despite vast changes in the rulers. This is a good pipe smoking site; I always learn something.
