Hello. I have experimented with pipe smoking a half dozen or so times in the past. I guess I am what one might refer to as a codeer or boomer and always enjoyed being around my grandfather and father while they smoked their pipes. I honestly can't remember what the primary tobacco my grandfather smoked because he always had it in a buttery soft black leather pouch. I do remember he smoked several different ones,"cherry" brand being one that I remember. My father was a straight Half and Half guy. I have pleasant memories of both of them, now passed.
I started my most recent foray into pipe smoking, having recently purchased a couple of estate pipes from a local thrift store. I then proceeded to the local tobacco shop and purchased a small amount of a few different blends, a burly cavendish, a cherry blend and also a pouch of Carter hall.
I am enjoying the experience considerably more this time around. Hope to get recommendations and learn by joining this forum.
Cheers.

Greetings and salutations!

I live in NYC but I frequently stay with friends who live in Palm City. When I'm down there, I have bought some pipe tobaccos @ "Black Dog Cigar Bar" on Federal Hw'y in Stuart, (I think they offer renamed Lane Ltd. bulk). I also buy some cigar-leaf from a hand-roller that has a shop next to PUBLIX on Kanner Hw'y, just slightly north of Salerno Rd. I buy a few ounces of some mild cigar trimmings, and then mix small amounts into my pipe tobacco for a more complex, and flavorful smoke. It don't take much.

Don't give up if you run into a few disappointments when smoking a pipe. Watch some You-Tube pipe smoking tutorials, and tobacco reviews, and learn all the fundamentals. It's fun. Good luck.

Welcome from Atlantic Beach, FL. As a New York Mets fan, I have been down that way often for spring training in Port St. Lucie.

Welcome. Dad was an all-Granger one-pipe-at-a-time all day smoker, age 15 to 65, then quit cold turkey.
