In my first post here, I would like to thank you for this great forum an to introduce myself.
Some time before my vocation to the pipe, I discovered this forum and started to increase my knowledge and interest in pipes. In Ocotber 2016 I bought my first briar, a Peterson Ahsford army mount, which I later passed on to my father, a cigar smoker, who still enjoys it occasionally. Quickly I wanted a second pipe (what bothered me about the Peterson was quite a big fill in the bowl). So I got a 2015 Dunhill County, which is still one of my favourite smokers. Some pipes and a year later I discovered Castello [and bought one or two ;-) ], which is now my favourite brand of current production pipes. I am also very interested in older Englisch pipes, especially Charatans and Sasienis...
All the time of my pipe smoking career I was a nearly daily reader here and without you concretely knowing it, you already have helped me a lot! Therefore I would like to thank you in my first post!
As I am from Germany and not an English native speaker, I hope my English is enough to talk about pipes with you, which I am looking forward for!
Best regards
Julius
