Hello everyone,

I'm from Southern California. Been smoking pipes for 2 weeks now.

Picked up a Savinelli on Black Friday. So far I've tried 1Q, Price Albert, Luxury Bullseye Flake, and Royal Yacht. Almost bought a Dunhill Nightcap to try from a B&M store, but they wanted $21.99. Honestly I don't think my taste buds are refined enough to really tell good tobacco... yet.

Looking forward to learning more from everyone and expanding my taste into many more blends!

I'm also in SoCal. Welcome to the forum and to the art of pipe smoking! I just recently joined this forum as well and can already attest that this group of folks are knowledgable, experienced, and open. Lot of reading to do.

Enjoy.
