    That is an impressive collection. Do you try to rotate through all of them? Are any of them locally made?

    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.
