Hello All - Chris here from SoCal, living in Omaha for last 4 years. Especially loving that we had snow the last two days. Yeah - not so much! I'm a new pipe smoker and am currently trying many different types of tobacco's to see what I enjoy most. So far I have enjoyed SPC's Mississippi River, Plum Pudding Special Reserve, and Dunhill's EMP the most. I currently have about 15 or so different tobacco's and need to start taking notes to pay more attention to what I like. I have found that the pipe is not only a great way to start the day, but also at the end of the day. Don't really smoke at all in between only once or twice a day. Currently, I have (3) pipes: an unfinished briar was my first, a meerschaum cob, and a Peterson Shannon Briars B11 Fishtail. Enjoying the process and learning what I can. Appreciative for the information here!
