I have been smoking pipes for several years now and dabble in refurbishing. I have long turned to this site for much great info over the years and decided to make it official and join your ranks. The help and info I have gained reading post on here has been invaluable. I hope I am able contribute in some small way, to maybe give back a little for all the wonderful knowledge I have gained from this site. I am a avid collector of LHS pipes with somewhere around 250 of them, give or take a few. I look forward to sharing some of them on your "Show me your LHS" thread. It was that thread that actually inspired me to start collecting them. That was after starting a GBD collection, but finding my budget did not let me buy the ones I really wanted. Hence my shift to LHS, were I could acquire 3 to 4 of them to a single GBD. This also started my passion of refurbishing. Realizing how much cheaper it was to buy a used worn pipe and redo it. That is once you have purchased everything you need to do it right. I quickly found that I had not picked the cheapest hobby by any means, but it is the most loved one I have ever attempted. All of this was brought on by one corn cob pipe my eldest son gave to me as a birthday gift many years ago. I have many a briar pipe I love and cherish, but if I could keep only one it would be my first cob my son bought me. That pipe means the world to me. He even knows that when my time comes, that I want that pipe and a full tin of tobacco to go with me. Thank you so much to all of you on this site. I have learned much from it and know I will continue to over the coming years. The one sure thing you learn as you grow older is that you know far less than you thought you did as a young man, but that is what makes life worth living, is knowing you are going to learn something today that you didn't know yesterday.
