Welcome @nnsailor

Here are some nice Churchwarden like styles, made in France by Genod. These are a good deal…

Blue Room Briars is well known and respected too.

Welcome! What tobaccos do you like currently? While not labelled an aromatic, Newminster 400 is a pretty pleasant taste and smell.

so far, of course captain black royal, because we had to get something available without a 120 mile drive. decent, about like I remember from back in the 00s. P&S Norwegian- which I do like- , and their vanilla and buttered rum are decent. Moontrance, which is... well, it's good. it's more of a conversation starter than a personal enjoyment. everyone really likes it and notices it, and the wife insists it's the best air freshener scent ever.

just ordered some C&D Canal Boat, MM Luminaire, and Low county Waccimaw.

Welcome, from Louisa Virginia, formally from Warsaw, "the land of pleasant living". I would venture to say your down around Irvington, Kinsale, or Kilmarnock? Enjoy the forums, there is a wealth of information here.

Check out the Mac Baren 7 Seas line for a CB equivalent in bulk. I'm partial to 7 Seas Regular.

Welcome from Hampton Roads! As one who also spends quite a bit of time on a boat i am familiar with the challenges. Note that aros smell great when smoking but I found leave a pretty good stink behind. Similarly Latakia blends taste great but usually offend the non smokers. Result is that Virginias are welcome to be smoked in/on our boat and home. No noticable residual stink if proper ventilation is employed regularly.

If you are referring to this Genod Churchwarden, I was about to show this as well, I just thought you might like the nicer quality ones on Blue Room Briars…

This one of course on SPC is a nice pipe, at a really low price…

Yeah, I had to pull the trigger on one of those (slightly different rustication) with that price and the discount SP was giving me.

the blue room ones are really nice, but that rhodesian shape is very appealing even with the lower grade finish.
