Former cigar aficionado (in the 1990s, like everyone else), been smoking pipes on and off since then but am still an amateur and need to perfect my technique. I typically like low-to-moderate nicotine content, medium-to-full, "Balkan" and/or "English" and/or Turkish/Oriental blends. Of all the tobaccos I've tried (nowhere near all of them, and not nearly enough of them!), so far I like Escudo Navy De Luxe, H&H Magnum Opus, and McClelland's Balkan Blue best so far.

Being thrifty and into old stuff, I only buy/collect/smoke estate pipes. The pipes I tend to gravitate towards are traditionally shaped English or French pipes, but if I found a sexy Danish pipe I could afford, I'd definitely buy it.
