so, I was looking over the new adds at Frenchy's and spotted this beauty:
since I had a discount code, I pulled the trigger (after some encouragement from the friend who got me into cigars) :thumbs:
wish me luck.... now, I just need to find something to put in it... ???
If you're relatively new to pipes, there is a thread I started awhile back that will make distinctions between different types and blends of tobaccos. Give it a read before deciding, It may prove insightful, at least that was the purpose.

Nice pipe man! I think you will come to love Pipes although for me it is a completely different experiance than cigars. Hit a local shop and try a few house blends to see what you like. Maybe purchase a tin or two or something that catches your eye, get a decent pipe lighter, some cleaners and a tool and off you go.
Enjoy!

Greetings from a fellow Ontario pipe smoker.
I know the tobacco laws here got hit hard this summer and they really tightened down what Tobacco dealers can do. My local B&M is lucky enough where it doesn't have to cover it's tobacco products or have any of those stupid laws but I noticed a number of other stores with drug store blend tobacco has their products covered. Stupid Canadian goverment....
Anyways enjoy your time with the fine art of pipes and be patient.
