I started the hobby in 2011 but things did not get really serious until 2013. I have a modest pipe collection but have always been far more interested in the tobacco itself. While finishing my undergraduate degree, I worked at a B&M. This was an awesome opportunity and gave me an excuse to try lots of tobacco. Also during this time I had a YouTube channel where I did reviews but life got busy. My wheelhouse is Va's, VaPer's, and a good VaPerOr. I do not dislike aromatics, burleys, or Latakia mixtures. However, I just do not reach for them often. I am excited to chronicle my tobacco journey here on tobaccoreviews!
