I've been smoking pipes since 1975. First pipe was a full bent one dot Brigham system pipe(which I still smoke on occaision). Last pipe I purchased was a Ser Jacapo Dublin bowl canadian shank with acrylic mouthpiece.

Tobacco I prefer is Vaper flakes but also like some english blends such as Ol' Limey Bastard from B&B tobaconists in Asheville, NC, USA
