Morning all, I have a suspicion I was a member of this group back a few years ago when I would chat here on Tapatalk, not sure. Anyway I am a long time pipe smoker from Tasmania, Australia. Been smoking a pipe since about '83 and I really just like all tobacco but my preference is for Gawith blends I'd say but I do love some of Greg Pease's blends as well. I live in Sheffield and have recently retired from running our large family farm and have downsized to a smallholding which I need to develop, should be a nice project to tinker with through my slow down/retirement. I like to fish and this little block has a trout stream running through it with some nice rainbows and the odd brown passing through so I shall chase them. Pipe wise I love my Castello's and have a pretty healthy collection of the #33 shape which present as a stocky Canadian. I also smoke Peterson 301's as I find them and their pot shape to suit me a lot and really do give me a nice dry smoke. Cellar wise I have plenty but I still find myself shopping and accumulating as one never knows what the governments of the day have in store for us. I will populate the rest of my bio as time allows but thanks for having me and I look forward to chatting with you along the way.

Welcome back, perhaps?

Regardless…


Welcome.

Welcome to PSF. Glad you are here. Australia is so beautiful. I hope to visit one day. Sadly, not that kind to smokers. Very glad you’re here and look forward to your contributions
