Hi all, I just got into pipe smoking recently. I quit cigarettes 20 years ago after decade of chain smoking. Since then I've occasionally dabbled with cigar but found it generally too strong for my taste, or that I never learned how to smoke it properly. A random encounter with a YT video by Muttnchop Piper got me interested in tobacco pipes and since then found myself immersed in researching the various pipe shapes and tobacco blends that are available. Like many, I probably went overboard too soon with buying as many blends as I want to try. So far I'm really enjoying the taste of creamy complexity in some Balkan/English blends such as Plum Pudding and the spicy sweetness of VAPer like Match Victorian.
Anyhow, I'm glad I found this forum and have so far benefitted greatly from a wealth of opinions from past posts. I look forward to sharing and contributing to this group once I pass the newbie stage.
