I'll write this after it's actually uploaded. There's some time and inspiration I can't get back.
Okay, so it worked this time. I'll try to remember everything I had written in here before it was just gone. Thanks, Threespeak.
It's been a hectic couple of days but two days ago I finally got to town and after much searching, I ended up with two pipes, some tobacco, and a bunch of the necessary accoutrements.
Joe at Shefield & Sons Tobacconists in Fort St. John, BC was excellent and I really wish I had found them first. I guess it's a sign of the times but nobody could seem to tell me where to buy pipe tobacco. Even the guy who sold me the first pipe. Anyhow, Joe was helpful and well informed about what I needed to know, unlike Sootay's Smoke Shop which was a terrible experience so I won't go back there again.
Anyhow, I found a blend called Mr. B's English Mix that just smelled more natural than the Captain Black (Sail) that I remembered from my youth. I've had a couple of smokes so far and other than the dirty tobacco mouth, I really enjoy it. I hope my wife will still kiss me.
Thanks,
