Been smoking a pipe for about 2 years at the time of writing this, though I smoked cigars and tinkered with the occasional cob and OTC combo for a few years prior. In the time For the amount of time I've been smoking, I've smoked and collected a lot of tobaccos―nearly a hundred blends now. My only preferences are quality and variety. I mainly enjoy Virginia and Virginia-Perique flakes, but I also love Burleys, Lakelands, Englishes, Balkans, and from time to time, mild aromatics.
