Thank you sir. The majority of them it's from Greek briar (Greece was providing briar all over the world with 3 major providers) and some of them are Greek-made. Most of them are non ''stock'' but modified by me and this add cost plus more sentimental value.
I have smoked all of them but mostly those for Vanilla tobacco because i smoke in the Cafe and i don't want to have negative reactions from other customers while smoking for example Latakia.

That's interesting to know about Greek briar. I have not gotten into pipes much, but do have a few and a good selection of pipe tobacco. The pipe tobacco I have had is quite different from cigars with the most noticeable difference being the robustness, body and flavors when comparing to cigar tobacco. I didn't think they two would be so different, but from what I've experienced, they're both quite different.
I've never been to Greece, though I have always wanted to visit. I hoped to visit while in the Navy but it never happened, and only pulled into England, Spain, France and Italy while in the Mediterranean. I was on a carrier and I don't know if Greece is a major recent port stop for or those ships. Senior guys I served with had stopped there previously (before I joined) and always had a great time. Though we are planning a European vacation, hopefully for next summer, so maybe we'll end up visiting.
I do love Greek food. We have a few Greek friends whose church hosts a Greek Festival every summer , and we always go. Their sons (friends of my oldest son) perform a traditional dance so we go to watch, support and eat a lot of food. Always a great time.
