New to pipes! Since mid April 2014! Not a nicotine lover, as I was a non smoker previously (also smoke maybe 3 bowls a week). Experimenting with a fascinating old world hobby in a new world of technology. Enjoying the sights so far. Finding I am more partial to Latakia with a bit of sweetness, and not as much with Virginias and Perique, or straight burley's. Still trying though!
