At the risk of sounding silly, I'd just like to thank all of you for transforming this wonderful hobby into something really meaningful and enjoyable to me. I have learned more from this forum than I would've thought possible about pipes and tobacco. Speaking as a greenhorn, the input and advice that each of you gives of your own free will is what separates this site from the rest. Thanks to each of you for all you do for the "Brotherhood of the Briar." This is quite a righteous society of gentlemen.

Here here! I agree with every word. This is a magnificent triumph. I give thanks to you all, and much thanks to Kevin Godbee for creating and keeping this site up.

Although I had read several threads before joining, I'm now coming up on one month of dedicated participation. I trully appreciate the vets who have hung in for so many years and who are kind enough to offer us their wisdom and experience. I'm eaqually appreciative for the contributions of all other participants as well. Often members pose a very good topic (like this one) that I hadn't thought of. Often I have to sort out a wide spectrum of differing ideas or attitudes, but overall this club has been extremely valuable to me and has enhanced my pipe smoking journey immensely.
Thanks for this thread rangerearthpig!

I'll smoke to that! There are some pretty extraordinary gents around these parts. I couldn't be more honored to be amongst such a great group of people.

Great thread and very appropriate. I was extremely self-conscious about my pipe habit and lacked a lot of basic knowledge. This group of gents and ladies has provided wonderful support, knowledge, and pure fun (who can forget the epic StarCat thread!). The British sites are simply no match and I value the friends and acquaintances I've made on pipesmag.com. The hours I've spent reading opinions and gawping at pipe porn(!)have been pure pleasure. Thank you all.

I could not agree more. Even though I've been smoking pipes since 1970 I've learned more in my time here than ever before. So let's enjoy what we have here and help one another when we can.

Happy Easter and Happy Piping to all.

As another new member here, I echo the sentiment. Before I found this Pipes Magazine website and Forum a couple of months ago ... I thought smoking a pipe meant smoking Captain Black and Borkum Riff. I honestly had no idea that there was this great brotherhood, that there were so many wonderful tobacco blends, so many interesting aspects to pipe making/smoking/collecting, or that the simple act of smoking a pipe could be so relaxing and meditative and enjoyable. Thanks to you all!

Indeed, I have said it before, and I will say it again... this site is a community. And a damned good one at that.

Wholeheartedly agree. After my dismal failure with pipe smoking some 40 or so years ago I seriously doubt that I would have had much success at it again if it were not for this site and the great members who frequent it.

I'm sure I would have given up after a complete fail with my first basket pipe and aro blend. Coming up to a year enjoying this new hobby/ lifestyle and this forum has added immeasurably to my understanding and enjoyment. Thanks to all of you who are so generous with your knowledge, perspective and good humour.
