Hola desde Finland-Northern Europe, that sounds like descent place to live for any pipe & cigar smokers who may like warm weather and friendly people , now, do they sell what international brands of pipe tobaccies out there?
Hi Paul, i get most imported (by a friend) from US. So yes you can get tobaccos and pipes in here. Its more difficult to import from Euro area, i think - hence the US as primary source. People are generally friendly (not all 280 million of them puffy ) and weather is sunny all year, with some heavy rainy season. You can try take a trip to most South East Asia countries - Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia,Phillipines..

I meant are there licenced tobacconists or other outlets who sell imported pipe tobaccos,pipes & cigars and other tobacco products?

Same here, getting older and feeling it.
Y'all are destroying my mental images of some of you.....

Here I've been envisioning "Chasing Embers" as this sage old "yoda" kinda dude with long white hair and sitting cross legged in a cave, on top of a mountain, in Tibet, waiting for some young climber to arrive and ask him what is the meaning of life...... and then I see a picture of him with about a half-dozen meers hanging out of his mouth and find that he is into crystal skulls and skateboarding......!

I may never come on the forum again cuz I have no "anchor in the time of storms."

I'm just gonna end it all, I suppose..........:rolleyes:

I smoke pipes in public, a also am a dog owner so i tend get noticed while walking him. In sweden pipe smoking is for some reason associated with hasch smoking, but since i dont walk around excersising my dog while smoking cannabis i dont realt care what others may think. But to make it obvious to strangers that im not some creepy dude that eats children or something, I also wear a hat, even though im not even 40 years old.. i would recommend it to everyone, so stylish. Dont know why or when people stopped using hats? There awesome! 😅

I completely agree with you on the hats. I wear a broad brim hat with some frequency and wish the style would return. Also, for women. I love women in hats. We go to the Ky Derby in Louisville, KY. each May and it is so wonderful to see all of the beautiful women in hats.

As to smoking a pipe in public, I do occasionally, but it is rare. I mostly smoke alone. I actually would venture to guess that most of us on this forum have more than our share of the "loner" gene in our DNA.

A lot of folk wear ball caps, even indoors. I don't get it. I asked a cap wearing dude at work who was indoors and trying to see down a dark hole if the sun was in his eyes. He didn't have an explanation for the brimmed ball cap inside. LOL

I wouldnt go as fas as aaying im a loner.. theres just not enough people that can stand me for any longer period of time 😅 but i do enjoy my own company, everybody shuld be comfortable just being by them self and no electronic stimulation, atleast får a couple of days. But honestly i dont think most people know how much there wellbeing depends on some kind of computer.

I like company, but the kind of company that I can turn off and walk away from without having to come up with an excuse... or travel. I need an AI companion that has all the information of the internet at its disposal and that I can put on recharge if it gets mouthy.
