Hey!
My name is Ville and im from Finland (if i happen to spell something in a weird manner, just blame it on the schools)
I haven't smoked a single pipe in my life, but i've gotten my fair share of cigarettes and cigars.
Recently though, i realized how fond i am of tobacco and i got this idea that i'd look up a tobacco forum to aid me into the world of tobacco pipes.Posted 1 year ago # -
Welcome Ville, now is the time for you to start puffing away. Welcome to the forum

Welcome Ville, I like pipe smoking because there's so much variety in tobaccos and I can appreciate the beauty of a fine made pipe. Also, the experience is a lot different than smoking cigarettes or cigars - more contemplative somehow. The members of this forum have a lot of knowledge to share. Enjoy!

Hello everyone, my name is William Alexander I live just outside of Birmingham, AL in a city called Pinson.
I smoked my first pipe sometime in 1988 and continued smoking until sometime in 1992 when my first son was born and the pipes were exiled.
I only remember couple of tobaccos from back in the day. A store mix (North Shore) and Dunhill’s Nightcap. Sadden to learn Nightcap is no longer made or available here.
Now that my boys are older and can understand the difference between pipe smoking and cigarettes, the pipes have been welcomed back into the clan.
In the last month I’ve cleaned up my pipes as best I can (still some heavy oxidation on the stems) and have tried the following tobaccos. Please note that my tobacco education is at the elementary level and I would not try review anything at this point but would like to mention how I liked these so maybe someone can give some suggestions.
Maltese Falcon: Excellent
Westminster: Excellent
My Mixture 965: Great
1Q: Good
My Morning Mixture local blend: Good
Escudo: Good
Esoterica’s Dorchester: Fair to Good
Mac Baren’s Navy Flake: Fair to Good
Mac Baren’s Plumcake: Fair
Peterson’s Irish Flake: Average to Fair
Davidoff’s English Mixture: Average to Fair
Davidoff’s Scottish Mixture: I’ll trade this near full tin minus one bowl for anything (used Sanka coffee grounds, newspaper from the bottom of the bird cage, old toe nail clippings)I have nine pipes and with the exception of two purchases this month, they all are from the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Brebbia bent billiard
Two Comoy’s (one is the Christmas 1988 special)
GBD prince
Peterson straight stem but does not work.
Savinelli
Stanwell second, straight billiardThis month I bought a rusticated Stefano and straight stem Falcon.
I’m looking forward to meeting you all and exploring the site.
Best Regards

Glad to have you William,
Just dive right in my friend. If you need advise or opinions, we have a lot of folks with bellybuttons around here.
I hope I run into you at Skip's, or we can arrange to hold down a couple of seats in the smoking lounge for a while.
The 965 isn't available right now either.
I used to love North Shore as well.
It was one of my standard bulk buys.... back in the day.
I'll see you and talk to you soon.
Oh by the way.... Do you know Raymond? On here he is "Birmingham0irsh" in here.
He made us Briay guys proud at the National Pipe Smoking Championship by winning this year.

Hi all! Call me Dave. I'm in my 40s, and I took up pipe smoking just last year. Never been a cigar or cigarette user. Never knew anyone in my family who smoked a pipe. It was kind of an impulse thing when I walked into a tobacco shop in a North Carolina mall. The tobacconist was a friendly fellow who got me started with a cob and some 1-Q. I still have a cob, but I have since added a nice little Italian briar. I would love to collect more pipes, but my budget says otherwise. Better to spend what little I can on some quality tobacco for now.
It's amazing how you can do without the necessities of life provided you have the little luxuries.Posted 1 year ago # -
Hey Dave, welcome to the forum!
Your story sounds like mine. Enjoy your pipe, and don't be intimidated by the guys that hang around here with 50-500 pipes and tobacco stashes that have their own zip code!
Everyone's great and helpful at answering questions.Simon

Hi Dave, one thing to consider is getting a low-cost used (estate) pipe off of ebay. Sometimes they can be had for under $10, of course those will need a little work. A little fine sanding and tung oil and you can make those dogs look really good. There is also a technique for refreshing the bowl using salt and alcohol. Of course if you save up 25 bucks you could get a new Dr. Grabow briar. That's just one trip to the Plasma center!

Welcome Dave,
We've got pipe smokers of all stripes.
Some like me who bought their first pipes in the last century, and those that started only a month ago.
It don't matter when, just that you enjoy your new hobby.

Hello all! I'm a father, husband, and firefighter from Arkansas. There are several members of my department that smoke pipes and they have really helped me to grow my passion for pipes. I didn't realize that pipe smoking was so big, but I am quickly learning. I'm looking forward to expanding my knowledge and enjoyment of pipe smoking through the forum. Already picking up some info and help.
