Real name: Mike Smith. 16 years smoking the pipe. 62 y/o. Don't like bents and strongly favor classical shapes. Full-bodied tobaccos, including Dark Flake/Plug, Chenet's Cake, but all other tobacco classes as well, not necessarily high nicotine. Not a pipe maker; here to learn and ask a few question...
