Hello Pipe smokers, 
and thanks for adding me to the Group, Steve.
Well, to introduce myself, i'm a student and enjoy Pipes for
over ten years now. Among my favourite Pipes are some Petersons
and some Mastro de Paja (very nice italian handcarved ones) and
lots of others. Hmmm, sometimes it is a bit complicated to
explain to no-pipe-smokers (girlfriend:) why someone (me)
_needs_ a new pipe when he already has soooo many ones. 

Studying here in austria and living in germany I would be 
interested in opinions about which kinds of tobacco you 
(being in USA, GB, etc.) favor: any lovers of english 
(latakia scented) tobacco? Extremely perfumed tutti-frutti? 
For me, it seems to depend somewhat on the wheather:
Bright and sunny - fruity, rain and snow - more english one.
Any opinions? What about filters? Are they really "typical
german" or are they established in other countries, too?
Happy smoke,
Andreas

[ Welcome, Andreas! I'm sure a lot of our members have opinions on the
burning debate of English vs. aromatic. -S. ]
