I'm new to pipe smoking and am trying to get into this hobby. I picked up a MM Diplomat corn cob a few weeks ago and have been trying to sample a few blends. So far I've tried a pinch of Dunhill's 965 blend, Dunhill's Nightcap, a few bowls of Captain Black original (the white pouch) and some Carter Hall. I thoroughly enjoyed the richness of the 965 blend, the strength of the nicotine hit from the Nightcap and the mildness of the Carter Hall. I only have the one pipe however, and I'm sure I haven't been taking proper care of it.
Funds are tight right now due to an expensive divorce battle, and trying to keep things normal for my kids. Anything would help and I'd be glad to cover the postage, post pictures of whatever I receive, and hopefully I'll be able to pay it forward in the future. Right now, taking the time to sit down and smoke a bowl of pipe tobacco is about the only thing that helps clear my head and help me deal with the stress. I love this hobby and the community that I'm finding around it. I don't understand why pipe smoking fell out of favor with society...
