Hailing from the United Kingdom

Hello, I’m a Texas transplant that has lived in England for the past 20 years. I have been a pipe smoker for near enough 30 years. I started with a basket pipe from my local Tobacco Lane (Arlington, TX) filled with aromatics that were blended in shop. I have since amassed a small collection of pipes of varying shapes, from various manufacturers, and tend to select my pipe depending on the tobacco I will enjoy in it. Due to the influence of my brother, and some well known podcasters, I have decided to broaden my horizons in the last few years. I have not bought into Latakia as yet but I am up for trying anything. My pursuit of the hobby has taken things to another level by getting approval from HMRC to handle raw tobacco, manufacture and store it. I now enjoy blending my own tobacco and discovering new flavours and aromas of my own making.
