Hi folks,
My name is Lars and I’ve been a pipe smoker for almost one year now – and keep enjoying it. I grew up in the north of Germany and when I was a kid, we often used to spend our family holydays in Denmark. In those holidays, my father used to smoke a pipe now and then and that’s why I always related Denmark to pipe smoking (hence the Danish nickname and avatar.
)
The first blends I smoked were (non-aromatic) mixtures from a local tobacconist where I also acquired my first pipe (a Stanwell Silke Brun No. 88). Later I also explored some English blends and different kinds of flakes that I soon grew quite fond of.
Presently, I have a collection of 11 pipes and keep exploring new tobaccos. Until now, I haven’t been that much into aromatics (Mac Baren Navy Flake is about as close as it would get) and my favourite blends are Peterson Irish Flake (yum, I love that stuff!), Skipper’s Flake by Dan Tobacco, Mac Baren Navy Flake, Orlik Golden Sliced and Herbst 84 (an English house blend by above mentioned tobacconist).
Here’s a pic of my favourite pipe&baccy to date:
I have been a silent reader on this board for a couple of weeks now and like the idea of this international pipe community very much, so I’m glad to start and join the fun!
Happy smoking,
Lars
