I feel like a lightweight next to Bill Reihl (bows.....)
I only have five pipes, some no names, a Petersen and a Savinelli. Never been much a fan of tinned tobacco, much prefer the blends I find locally. Two weekends ago I was in Nashville, IN and ran into a store called Men's Toy Shop. Picked up a 4 oz baggie of their Woodsman and Sweetbriar mixes.
The Woodsman seems your typical Black Cavendish. The Sweetbriar has a Black Cavendish base with cuts of Burley and Viginia. I'm really liking that Sweetbriar.
I find one of these handy for travel: http://www.amazon.com/Peterson-Class...son+pipe+pouch
whats a good started blend for a newbie pipe wise? I have all of the "essentials" just cant decide on what I want to burn.
thank you, just ordered my first pipe, accessories, and some Frog Morton. I'm pretty excited to try this out.
I will second the Frog Morton. I bought some based on the recommendation of Professor Riehl, and do enough it.
this forum has cost me a bit of money. First a pistol, then a AR, then a watch, and now a pipe. I love it
