Giving it a try again

I had a similar journey to yours. I picked up pipe smoking after a couple years into cigars. The first pipe attempt didn't take and I sold most of my stuff. A few years later, here I am, smoking pipes 90% of the time.

I have found a real passion in pipes, even making my own now. I truly enjoy the pipe side of the slope, and love to refurbish old briar.

As far as tobaccos, I started in aros, went to the non aros, and now am back to aros because for me they are easier to smoke and nice and mild. I still have non-aros, and even a cellar with some aged baccys, but have found some real enjoyment in my aros. I would push you towards Boswell's blends, as I really enjoy them. My favorite is Boswell's Best.

So give pipes a shot and I think you will really enjoy it. Shoot me a PM if you ever have questions. I learned almost everything from forums like this one and the more experienced members.
