I began smoking a pipe in 2005 after a few false starts, and have been with Tobaccoreviews from the first puffs. It's been an invaluable resource in gathering knowledge about various blends and their characteristics.

I don't claim to be the most knowledgable or experienced reviewer so reading the reviews of people who have been doing this for many years proves immensely entertaining and informative.

Please don't take my contributions to this site too seriously--I try to remain lighthearted in what I write and am probably too generous in much of my praise, considering my tastes are very easy to please. I prefer to keep my exposure to blends varied in style and strength, and rely upon this site to keep me away from the clunkers.
