Glad you’re here from New England! ?

 

[mingc]

Welcome! I too have a preference for English blends, in addition to Lakelands and American florals. Is it unusual for Swedes to have such a good command of English?

Yup, Another Swede Presenting Himself.

At least it's not another Swede exposing himself.

Welcome aboard from Central Kentucky!

Is it unusual for Swedes to have such a good command of English?

I would say no. They are very well behaved blends and extremely user friendly. They take a light easily, burn cool, and often require few relights. Those qualities are often the reason I suggest them to beginners over flavored blends and Virginias.

Oh dear, I meant the English language! I should have figured that that was going to be a confusing question! ?

Now that you mention it, there were a couple of Swedish fellows I went to college with that had no issue with English syntax.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. It's nice to feel some fellow souls being totally alone in this very unpipsmoking country of Sweden (yes, I see some people here are from swe as well - tjena, tjena, kula det finns lite svenskar här också). I actually even don't know any cigaterette smoker anymore, I believe...

Mingc - About English (the language, not the blend ), I like to write in English overall and have worked for a very long time with English speaking people, but overall Swedes are very prominent in the language, both in writing and speaking.

Have a nice day all o'ya.

Seems we sold all the pipes to Denmark, or hid them away. I rarely see a pipe smoker these days, but who can blame people with the price of a tobacco tin being like 30 dollars...

Welcome from Idaho, USA!
I'm with you as far as English blends are concerned - although I still enjoy certain aromatics. Some of my favorite English blends include: King Charles, Margate and Plum Pudding.
Happy smoking my friend!
