| Good afternoon to you all,
This is a bit embarrassing but i have posted on other topics before this one.
As it is said here in Portugal "Better Late than never", here is my presentation.
My name is Bruno Robalo, i am 36 years old and i am from Lisbon, Portugal.
I have two decoration stores in Portugal and a children's parties animation company. Pipe making is a hobby i am trying to evolve to something else.
I started smoking pipes on a more serious manner almost 2 years ago. When i was a little boy i remember contemplating my father's pipes and i can still remember "that" scent...
Hope i can contribute to this forum. I am sure i will learn A LOT!
Regards from sunny Portugal.
Bruno

| Welcome, Bruno. What tobaccos are available in Lisbon, and what does a 50g tin normally cost? We're always interested in what our Brothers around the world pay for their tobacco.

Thank you Natch!
We have specialized stores here in Lisbon that carry lots of tobacco such as:
Casa Havaneza
Sua Excelência
It depends on the blend but the tobacco here is more exensive than for example in Spain.
As an example i pay € 10.50 for 50g of Syrian Latakia.
