Hello.Im a new pipe smoker of about 8 months.My main reason of joining a forum such as this is information.Asbi do not know another pipe smoker I have learned what I think I know about puffing by trail and error and look forward to being able to learn from more seadoned smokers.Other than dreams of kadath I smoke mainly gawith bulk and Samuel gawith tin tobaccos.I am still a cigar smoker also.I grew up on a farm where my grandfather rented buck barns to other farmers to cure their tobacco.I have used tobacconin one form or another my whole life and am healthy and it has only enhanced my life.Lightly processed leaf is a gift from God in my opinion.
