    Default Any pipe smokers here?

    Hey guys,

    I got a pipe for christmas '07 as a bit of a novelty present. Its not a novelty pipe, but i think the giver intended for it to be a novelty and only smoked once, however I did enjoy it and am looking into it more and more.

    Has anyone got any recommendations or thoughts/comments about pipe smoking at all or where to get pipe tobacco from. The tobacconist in my area is pretty small, so when i asked if he could order in tobacco (i've been looking at tobaccoreviews.com and noting some of the more popular ones to maybe give them a try) he said he couldn't. I've found places to order from the UK, but i'd rather shop from Australian stores.

    I'm only interested in it as a past-time (sit out on verandah, once or twice a week and have a crack), but if it really tickles my fancy i'd prob go daily after work or whatnot.

    Cheers,
    Evil.

    (P.S. I didn't know the db went down, it took me AGES to work out why my user/pass wasn't working, also i can't find the donation thread. i'd like to help out if someone could point me in the right direction that'd be great. cheers )

    my local tabboconists both alot of diffent kinds of smoking tabbaco, you'd be be going off to the private ones rather than ctc n all those large commerical ones. Never seen them in those stores.

    Where abouts are you located? Theres one on george street in the city close to china town.

    HAha tobacco only urban :P

    I'm up in the Whitsundays so its pretty limited up here for what I have access to. The biggest tobacconist here only has 4 types of tobacco and they aren't really floating my boat.

    I'm generally looking for these tobaccos, so if anyone can help me out, or has some, i will pay some money for a small sample etc.

    -Stonehaven
    -Penzance
    -Full Virginia Flake

    Thats the best top 3 as rated on

    My grandfather used to buy cigars and snap off about an inch at a time, stuff it in his pipe and let it rip.

    I will never forget the smell of that combined with the sulfur from the matches.

    as long as its bought and tax and excise paid on it, it is fine, we used to import it a few years back, customs got hold of about the 5th load coming into oz and Thats when we started having to pay tax on it. Just got less of a load, and all was sweet, not sure now how much was allowable under $1000 worth im sure is ok.. We got a fair bit back in the hey day of home grown tobacco.. It was abit wet from, sweating , but at the price of about $5 per 50grams its a third of the price to buy.

    few ppl reckon they got headaches from the stuff but 90% ppl thought it was fine..
