Yeah, in my picture I have heavy clothes on since it's winter, back then my long hair was put in a pony, and the smoke covers my face. So I understand.

Not sure how many besides myself had read enough of your postings here to have already known that ... but I think your broader point is 'clearing the air' prior to any in-person meetings at pipe shows, et al and I can understand that ...smokeytay33 said:

Bingo, that's how my B&M treated me until I came in one day and fully explained what I liked about a certain tobacco now I am can't go in anymore cause I will spend a ton and bs for quite some time. Taylor like stated before note one person on this forum will ever think less of you, but we will always think more of you for being one of the few women who have stepped up to the pipe. Once again happy to have you.I think many tobacco stores have a "you gotta be tested" attitude, like I cant state my opinion on what I want until I've proven some stupid silly thing.
