New to Pipe Smoking from Vancouver, BC

[Puffhead]

Hi Everyone,

I am fairly new to pipe smoking, although I feel like I was made for it.. it's been something I have wanted to do for a number of years now and I have been reading for some time. Good to finally stop thinking and start doing!

I've got a couple of pipes on the go that a very good friend sent my way. A Sav full bent and a Peterson half and have a lumberman on the way this week as I think the straight pipe may be more of an everyday smoker for me.

I don't have a ton of experience with many blends but have smoked a number of them and have really enjoyed the Stokkebye Navy Flake and occasionally something aromatic in the evening. I do have a lot of 5 blends coming my way from another forum member and am looking forward to diging in. It is painfully obvious how deep I have gotten down the rabbit hole, and fast.

I appreciate all the knowledge, and experience here, and look forward to 'meeting' you. I have read lots of posts on the forum over the last couple months and am excited to dive deeper!

(I'll do my best not to complain about costs and taxes on this side of the border

Good to be here,

Josh

Welcome, from Southern California. I'm well acquainted with the rabbit hole you speak of. So is my wife, much to her chagrin...

Welcome from Surrey BC! There is a Vancouver pipe club, we are doing some virtual meetings lately if you want to join.

I do a lot of blending and processing with whole leaf tobacco ordered from the states as the taxes are(way) less than processed leaf in a tin or pouch.

I Also grow tobacco and have seeds and soon seedlings if you are interested.

Anyway, welcome! This is a great forum to be a part of and the local vancouver pipe club is small but welcoming.

Welcome from the SF Bay Area. I have found that I prefer straight, or barely bent, pipes myself, with the exception of my Peterson Systems.

Hope you enjoy the new blends you're receiving and share your thoughts on them if you feel up to it.

Long time since I was in the UK but spent a number of weeks there when I was younger. Still haunted by the memories of the torture at the tower exhibit ?. Good to meet you!

Great part of the country, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope to get up your way sometime and enjoy the beautiful wilderness in BC.
