Hello to all of you! I've been lurking for a bit, and decided to come out of my cozy little corner and be sociable.
I started to explore the wonderful world of the pipe during my junior year of college, about 8 or 9 years ago. I have a very modest collection of pipes, 7 in all (not counting the two or three cobs I keep around). Like a lot of younger smokers, I started off with aromatics; I still haven't found that I have a taste for Latakia or Oriental tobaccos/blends, but I've developed a real fondness for Virginia and Virginia/Perique blends in the past year or two. Nowadays, I fire up a straightforward and relaxing bowl of 1Q or BCA when the mood strikes, but I mostly pack my pipes with the likes of Grey Havens, Fillmore, Telegraph Hill, and Haddo's Delight (looking forward to a shipment of Bayou Morning and Kajun Kake). Oh...and my guilty pleasure is a small bowl of Vanilla Cream for dessert.
Beyond pipes, I work for a local newspaper (circulation sales - nothing terribly exciting) while doing graduate work in History (because, you know...there's no degree in higher demand than a M.A. in Medieval History).
