I’ve been an avid fan of tobacco since I was just a wee bitty lad. I’ve consumed tobacco in all its forms but when I came to the pipe in late 2009 I slowly fell in love with it. I’ve been an avid pipe smoker, tobacco hoarder ever since. It only took me about 7 years to join PM forum, before that I was a member of several other pipe/tobacco related forums, I’m happy to say that Pipes Magazine is by far the best of the forums and my only outlet of discussing all things tobacciana.
