Hello ewerybody!!

[JRS Finn]

Just joined in, and i thought to put some
words about me.
I am an old sailor from Finland and very
Fond of smoking pipe!! I enjoy variety of blends exept aromatics..
Broblem is that here in Finland any quality pipe tobacco costs 28-35€ per
50 grams...

Good evening and welcome, friend!

Finland! Fantastic! I don’t think we have any other Finns!

Nice looking yacht you have there... has similar lines to a Contessa?

Hello from Canada! Nice to see some cold weather pipe smokers on the boards.

 

[JRS Finn]

thanks for the polite words! About the boat i mean.. it is 12 metres long and 2.45 wide finnish made (if you translate it strait the model is Saimaa skerry cruiser)sailingboat. Number 3 from the string of 18 made. The apple of my eye!!
And to you american fellow pipesters,Saimaa is 3 biggest lake in europe with more 25000 islands.. most of them are empty so there are lots of places to go and spend your summers!!!

 

[JRS Finn]

About pipe smoking.. i enjoy latakia. Commonwealth from Samuel Gawith and balkan delight from Peterson are my choises. SG full virginia flake for virginias and st.james flake for va/per,and Peterson 3p is my choice for burleys!
I do adventure in the tobacco world and try to taste all i can in no aromatics world,but here are just few labels to mess with..

 

[Brewdude]

Even with your strident restrictions in Finland it looks as though you are enjoying some good pipe weed. Hope you can continue despite the draconian measures!


Cheers,

RR

Welcome aboard the good ship BoB. Sounds like you have some decent baccy available to you. Island hopping in a yacht seems like an ideal holiday to me, just lovely.

 

[JRS Finn]

Thanks for the nice replys!!
I am in the position what leaves me totally free summers.. so my personal rekord is 5months and 25 days strait living in my yaht! I am a happy happy
man in the summertime!! Winters i am working like a dog,just to keep my summers free..
Here we have only 3 labels to choose from,Peterson,Dunhill and Samuel Gawith products. I dont mean they are bad,but after years i would like to taste somethin else too!
Offcourse we have some cheap stuf in markets,but they all are aromatics,so they dont intrest me..
Really jealous to you,for the variety of your tobaccos!
