Just Bought My First Pipe

[The Volusianator]

I was in Milwaukee visiting Baron, CigarAl, Satchmo and the bunch. Unbeknown to us there was the Milwaukee Area Pipe Club Christmas Party that night from 6:00-8:00. So after watching/smelling these guys with their pipes, I broke down and bought an estate pipe, it's a Velani Executive De Luxe. I got a bag of tobacco with it but don't recall the kind, along with some cleaners of course and a tamper/cleaner kind of tool.

Although the smoke is totally different than cigars, I find it pretty enjoyable. I've only had three bowls so far, but I can see using this more often in the future.

Good for you, I enjoy my pipe, the little that I get to smoke it.

AWWRIGHT!!!!!

I'm about 50/50 depending on the time I have avialable to smoke. The Pipe smoke seems to be more tolerable to bystanders... :whistling:

Good for you Wade!!

If I can ever get those cigar boxes off to you, I'll send along a few samples of my favourites for you to try.

That would be cool, the only tobacco I have right now is an aromatic blend called Park Avenue, not sure if that's a known blend or house blend, but I like it. I've only had two bowls so far, but its been fun.

Wade, I'll send a selection of medium to strong tobaccos. Some will be flakes so I'll include a few simple instructions on how to prep & pack those.

You're hooked Dude!!!

Know what I'm finding? It's expensive getting a start on a few nice pipes, but after that, the 'Baccy is cheap. You'll have a whole bunch more money to buy good sticks and let 'em age.

Well I tell you what, I'm Jonesin' for a stogie, so I just may light one up on the way home from work!
