Well well well what to say, what to say? I started accts on a couple different pipe sites but a friend and fellow pipe smoker, the one who actually recently got me into this facking addiction (haha) told me I was doing it all wrong and that this was the place I needed to be so, well erm, here I am.
Disclaimer: As I am new to the online pipe community in general lI would like to apologize to anyone who has read my intro threads on another forum but I swear this is the last one.
So here goes:
I've been an avid cigar smoker for years and never really thought to pick up a pipe. That all changed not to long ago when I was, for the most part, gifted a cheap 40.00 pipe and some medium english blend and not only haven't I looked back but I haven't even smoked a cigar in months. A pipe, i have come to understand, is a beautiful thing.
Anyways up until yesterday I had picked up 3 more to start a rotation,( as instructed by my friend who it seems is bent on making my obsessive behavior work in his favor and make me broke and quite possibly steal my woman and my harleys) a design Berlin Billiard, a Savenelli second, and my current favorite a Karl Erik freehand that can be seen in my avatar.
I have used that first pipe as the one I smoke 4 days week to rest the others but remember when I said "up until yesterday? Well..... my obsession hit a boiling point yesterday and I ended up with credit card in my hand surfing one of the reputable pipe sellers on the interwebs. WHAT A FREAKING MISTAKE. I'm rich by no means but BOY DO I HAVE GREAT CREDIT, the banks they love me. And after yesterday I think I may need to run my credit cards through the shredder. That, and probably sever the relationship with that bastard that got me into this. So as the story goes I picked up 5 beauties and I should be getting them this week. I'm thinking of starting a thread in the regular forums to elicit responses on my choices as well. Yeah, I am that kind of big mouth guy that wants everyone to know what a problem child I am. There are a couple of Celius danish freehands, a TC Fuller freehand, a neils Bro, and a JHW Dublin freehand ( I may even do an unboxing on youtube when I get the package ) which i personally believe to be some stunning pipes.
My main problem, besides my good credit and the asshole trying to ruin my life is that I can choose the pipes i like with the best of them but I have virtually no idea what I want to put in the pipes! At the moment I am smoking what I think to be medium english blends and a pack of Black Knight. I say what I beleive to be becasue I am buying them from the local tobacconist and and the ones I like are blends made in shop with conspicious names like "Daves Blend and "Scotts Bend". You know what Im saying? So any help in that would be greatly appreciated.
Other than that, and on a serious note, I would just like to say that I'm actually quite excited about all this and . I look forward to hanging out and seeing whats up around here.
And so it goes....

) Seems like a lot of new pipe smokers are ex-cigar converts. It's not an addiction, it's a hobby; at least that's what I keep telling myself. :twisted: Looking forward to seeing those new pipes when you get them. A lot of those "house blend" tobaccos are re-branded Lane's blends or others. (Altadis, Stokkebye?) If you found out what they "really" are, it could help you make comparisons via this forum or tobaccoreviews.com. Just a thought.
