Hello, brothers of the briar!
I'm brand new to pipe smoking and have been enjoying it immensely for the last couple weeks since my first pipe purchase, a beautiful Peterson Fermoy B10 fishtail. I've since picked up a Peterson system standard as well. I'm just beginning my foray into the art, so I've only tried a couple types of tobacco... an aromatic called Wilshire from Tinder Box in the Fermoy and an English blend called Dunhill Nights in my system standard.
I'm trying to break my new pipes in slowly and correctly according to the wisdom of the internet, but I've been tempted to smoke them more than I perhaps should. So far I've resisted.
I've been smoking cigars off and on since I started in college in roughly 2001, but I've always wanted to try pipes. My grandfather, uncles, and father all smoked pipes, but my father at least stopped some 20 years ago when he wasn't able to smoke at work anymore. I have fond memories of the smell from my childhood.
I've found the experience to be absolutely wonderful so far, not to mention far cheaper than the rather expensive cigars I enjoyed. I'm sure my developing case of PAD & TAD will quickly cure that.
I've been reading this forum off and on since I found it two weeks ago, and decided to join today. I'm normally a lurker on internet forums and have been since I began reading forums in the 90s, but the community here seems to be something different and special and I thought I'd try chiming in for a change.
Thanks to all for the shared wisdom and experience already stored here, and for the welcoming atmosphere you've presented.
