It's very difficult in the UK to get pipe tobacco the selection seems to be limited but if anyone from the UK could help me out where to buy that would be great 👍

HI Stu mate, First and foremost welcome to BoBs, you decided to join the best pipe forum there is. Well done you brother. Being a fellow Brit, I agree with you, that getting pipe tobacco in the UK, is increasingly becoming harder and harder. With many independent tobacconist closing down, and the supermarkets look at you, as if your stupid for asking if they stock any pipe tobacco at all. However, that being said. It is still available online, at many places in the UK.
I will pm you the UK online retailers that I will use, when my tobacconist hasn't got what I want. They are fast and reliable, and I highly recommend them.
Take care mate, looking forward to the interactions with you.

That entirely depends on what your tastes are. What i smoke, you may well find you hate. As your new to pipe smoking. I would suggest reading the recipe, and reviews, then only buying inexpensive sample bags of 25grms as a taster. If you like it, then buy more, if not, then you haven't wasted money on something you won't smoke. The tobacconist I sent you links to in PM, all sell small sample bags.
