Howdy folks,
My name is Joseph, I've been a piper since November of 2009. First pipe was a corncob and first pipe tobacco was a rum cased house blend. Almost three years later I'm here nearing three dozen pipes and a daily piper. I picked up cigars about six months before touching a pipe, and nowadays I'm piping about ten times more than smoking cigars (though I completely enjoy both). To me, I smoke cigars but I'm a pipe smoker. I don't know if that makes sense but I feel that pipes are more intertwined with my identity that cigars, despite the enjoyment of each.
Staple tobacco is McClelland 5100, but I smoke English, balkans, burleys, the occasional aromatic and really the whole gamut of pipe tobaccos. Willing and open to try other blends, always in search of something just slightly better but McClelland 5100 is my favorite so far. Yeah, it's not complex, yeah it's nothing special but it's something I can just light up and relax to. It's not a demanding blend but it rewards me with that tobacco taste, slight sweetness and steadfastness bowl after bowl.
So hello to you all, I've gained good information from threads here in the past and I look forward to interacting with you all in the future.
Joseph
