I am a returning pipe smoker after approximately a 30 year hiatus. Back in the 80s I smoked a green Medico, I believe and Borkum Riff tobacco. Now I'm enjoying Savinelli, Rossi, and MM pipes with Cornell and Diehl, Dunhill, G.L. Pease, and various other brand tobaccos. I've been going through one ounce sample bags and some tins, and have narrowed down my rotation to Blackpoint and Stratfordshire for now. Enjoying all the informative forum threads and the contributors.
