Well hello, I finally registered to the forum after I lurked for about 1/2 year. My name is James if you couldn't guessed that already 
I'm a pipesmoker for about a year now, I was a former cig smoker. Quitted and never looked back. Smoked about 7-8 bowls though in the first days for nic only I guess, reduced that quite fast though.
Now I'm smoking 1-3 bowls a day, most of the time only 1. Still tend to the nic stronger blends.
I'm living over the pond, in a very little town in the small state Austria. I know, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mozard, Glock and Hitler, just to get all the clichés out of the way :roll: .
It's not that easy here to get good tobacco. The german neighbours have access to about 850 different blends, when in Austria there are about 170. And I would say that atleast 100 of them are terrible, either candy hot-smokers or just not my cup of tea. There still exists a tobacco monopoly, don't ask me why. But that makes it difficult to get tobacco from Germany or even from the US, though I would love to try Billy Bud or Da Vinci or other blends. Well, I'll have to make a trip to Swiss which isn't too far, there I can get my hands on these goodies.
I'm a filter smoker, activated charcoal Stanwell filters, (not these balsa filters, no purpose in them really) which I guess are kinda uncommon outside the german pipe community.
Hm, that's all I guess haha.
