Hi everyone! My name is Jan, and just want to introduce myself. I've recently fallen down the rabbit hole that is English pipes. It all started with Samuel Gawith tobaccos.
I used to smoke cigars for many years but quit during Covid. A couple of months ago I got a small Petersen Junior bulldog and started smoking again whilst walking the dog.
Then I discovered Samuel Gawith tobaccos and really liked them so I realised I "needed" an English pipe.
One thing led to another...
Thank You all.

Välkommen!

What pipe tobacco can you find in Swedish stores? I know the selection was very slim in Norway.

I'm afraid there aren't many dedicated tobacco shops left. At your local supermarket or newsagents you can usually find Borkum Riff's selection of aromatics made by STG and Greve Hamiltons mixture and Virgina based unflavoured tobacco and thats it. But in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö still have a few dedicated tobacco shops where you can get a decent selection from Ashton Davidoff Peterson Rattrays Solani Samuel Gawith Mac Baren. We can't get any American tobaccos like Cornell&Diehl.

Gamleby that is in småland i believe, many people from småland migrated to the US.

Hello from London UK. I see rapid PAD has kicked off, nice selection of pipes. Which Samuel Gawith blends are you enjoying? They all have Big Flavour - about half of everything I smoke is Gawith, some days everything!

These are the one I've tried so far. I Do enjoy the twists, but I like them all. I haven't been able to get squadron leader or cabbies mixture. Excuse my ignorance I'm not familiar with PAD. Pipe Addiction and maybe Disorder?

 

[BingBong]

Pipe Acquisition Disorder. You were close!

I have to smoke Cabbie's at least three times a day, probably why you can get none. I'm sorry.
