Hello Steve and fellow pipe smokers!
And by the way congratulations Steve!
I've been reading the Digest since november 94, and thought that I
finally should introduce myself. Really don't know why I haven't done
it before. I guess the main reason is that I have been a "little" bit
afraid of trying to express my self in English. Well here I go.
I'm a 26 year old Norwegian, studying microelectronics and VLSI at
University of Oslo. I'm currently working on my Cand Scient thesis, I
think it is about equal to a master degree in the US.
I began pipe smoking at the age of 14. I've had a couple of years as a
cigarett smoker as well, but the "fun" part of smoking has always been
the pipe! Through my 12 yaers as a pipe smoker, I have tried several
blends of tobacco. In the last couple of years I have found the blends
that has become my favourite. It is aromatic mixtures of the Danish
brand "My Own Blend". Especially "MC13", but also "1970", "OB89" and
"16V". These tobaccos are worthwhile trying if you like sweet smelling
and tasting aromatics.
I have about 10 pipes and use 6 of them. A small collection just
waiting to grow... . My favourit pipes are a Brebbia and a Bari. These
two pipes give me really enjoyable smoking. The four others are cheap
and no good, bought at a time when knowledge and founds where
shourt. I still live on a small budget, but buy pipes when I have
saved enough money. My favourite shapes are Lovat, Bulldog and "short"
Billiards. I prefer straight stems, because they are both easy to
clean and look's good.
Well, that's it for now folks. Light up an enjoy!
