I presently smoke cigars but recently took the plunge into pipe smoking. I subscribe to a guy on Youtube named Cutlerylover and thoroughly enjoyed his reviews of pipes and tobaccos. I went to ebay and bid\won a Savinelli Alligator billiard. Also purchased Nightcap, Mississippi River, and ordered Boswells Northwoods. So far I'm hooked. Love the attention to the pipe smoking routine and so forth. Just wish it would warm up a little here.
