Hello my name is Loyd. I started smoking a pipe in the mid 90s as a teenager. I started smoking with my grandpa and loved it. I quit in the late 90s and recently started again. I've been reading a lot on the subject because my grandfather is no longer alive. I Have thoroughly enjoyed this site and have learned loads from the members. Thank you all for the insight from your experiences.

Welcome to the forum Loyd! You've certainly found a great group of people to smoke with and learn from!
Welcome to the forum. Very cool that you were able to spend quality bonding time with your Grandfather before he passed. Most of us don't get to experience little things like that.
Welcome to this forum that is filled with a wealth of knowledge and people who really know their pipes as wells as tobacco blends. I type this as I am smoking Germaine's brown flake yummy.
Welcome!
Did they tell you about our long-standing* tradition of asking you to name your three favorite tobaccos, but one of them is a lie for all of us to figure out?
*It's been going on forever, but never enforced. It's like Rule No. 9, only not.

Well r I Can't tell you what my favorite is. Honestly I've only tried about 6 in the last few weeks. In The 90s I Was A young teen and didn't try any thing except cheap bulk tobacco. ( Grandpa smoked smokers pride) recently I Have tried captain black but wasn't to impressed. That is how I came upon this site. I Was looking for a place to ask questions and get suggestions.
We're glad you're here, Loyd.
I'll second Metal's comment on smoking with your grandfather. I inherited my granddad's favorite ashtray and pipe tool and they always stay on my office desk.
We're a bit loud. Maybe even rambunctious. And certainly opinionated. But you couldn't have lit at a better place.
Welcome, pal.

Yes, welcome, indeed. My grandad passed away before I could smoke with him. And his pipes disappeared via some unknown relative, but I like to think of him when I sit down for a quiet smoke. (most of my smoking isn't quiet; I am usually walking or typing.)
