Welcome, Al! ;)

Sounds like you’re off to a good start. If you want to venture into Virginias, I’ve found Newminster 400 to be easy on the palette but like with many straight VAs you’ll need to go slow. When you’ve got a change, show us some of your pipes!

Thanks for the recommendation on the tobacco.

Hello and welcome to the Forum from Deep in the Heart of Texas. You will find this site to be informative and the members insightful (and at times, most entertaining). Enjoy your stay!
I have been smoking pipes for about two years now. I have been lurking around the forums for a while reading old threads and gaining knowledge on pipes and the hobby/lifestyle. My pipe collection consist of GBD's, Ehrlich and Savinelli. As many new smokers I started with aromatics but have started expanding into the Burley and English blends.
