Welcome aboard, John! It sounds like you've gotten off to a good start with your choices in pipes, as Pete's and Savinelli's are great! I hope you enjoy your time here, and I'm looking forward to your future posts. Happy puffing!

Hello all, I'm Joel - Signed up yesterday, haven't had a chance to post. I've been smoking a pipe off and on for the last 4 and a half years (since I turned 18), mostly just corn cobs and clunkers I've picked up at my local smoke shop. I recently ordered a good-looking 9.5" Churchwarden and a Peterson Aran from pipesandcigars.com, which ought to get me smoking quite a bit more than this old, torn up basket pipe and the dried up leaves I've been smoking. I'm hoping to eventually kick cigarettes and go full time pipe. We'll see how that goes.

Hey guys, I am new and my name is brandon.
i smoked a pipe for the first time about a year ago, but last summer i finally bought my first pipe that was my own.this year at school i met a few guys who live a couple doors down who also smoke pipes. it has been a great experience hanging out with them and smoking/experimenting with new tobaccos over the last few months. hopefully i will continue to learn and enjoy what i have already started to fall in love with.

Hey Everyone! My name's Tim. I'm an Anglican priest from Michigan currently working as a Prison Chaplain in Kentucky. I picked up my first pipe when I was 21. Didn't do much with it at the time. 3 years ago a fellow priest encouraged me to take it up again by gifting me a Valeni Contrast. I've been really serious about my pipes for about a year now and just came across this site a couple of days ago.
I used to smoke aromatics exclusively but have recently have branched out into English blends and found I LOVE them. Looking forward to talking with you guys.

And for those who have been asking about my (newbie) pipe collection, I finally had some time on my hands to take some pictures and upload them. You can have a look at the album here.
Hope you like 'em

Hello, all, my name's Brice and I just joined to learn some more about pipes and what's good stuff to smoke and what's bad, simple stuff like that.
I'm 18 and haven't smoked a pipe yet, I inherited my grandfather's pipes a couple of years ago and I've always been interested in them. So I thought I'd try to find out more about smoking pipes in general and maybe give it a go myself.Posted 1 year ago # -

Hello everyone. My name is Buckley. I am a new member and just wanted to say hello. I smoked a pipe in high school (that was 30 years ago). I am starting again after 30 years and looking forward to Christmas ( pretty sure Santa was tipped off by my wife) and I am getting a pipe for Christmas. Any tips and encouragement would be appreciated after the 25th. Also I am a home brewer and would love to talk brewing with anyone.

Hello to everyone. My name is Tim. I picked up a pipe back in the 70s and have smoked off and on over the years. However, I've never really learned about the art of smoking a pipe and the true pleasure of exploring different tobaccos. Now that I'm living/working in Afghanistan I have plenty of time to learn the art. Thanks to an article here on Estate pipes, I've just purchased my first one on Ebay. It is a Stanwell Design Choice circa 1970's. I've love to hear from someone with more experience on whether or not I've made a good purchase. Not so much about the price but more if the pipe is in decent condition. I've got pictures so if anyone would like to give me a good educated opinion, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you..

Hello all... Just wanted to introduce myself. Looks like a great site for sure.
I enjoy a few things in life, not the least of which is a good bowl of fine smoke from a good pipe, coupled with a fine bourbon or Scotch at the end of the day. A good beer will work too, :-). So, good to find a place with people of like mind.

Evening all,
Just joined to seek out information after a dear friend of mine recommended the site.
Been casually smoking pipes (more like a pipe) for about a year and looking to establish a collection slowly and learn more about it.
Cheers,

Evening, my name is Chris,in canton tx. have only smoked for a month or so now, but i've been curious for years. I have/had several uncles that smoke pipe, but the thing that has always intrigued me was a beautiful "hand carved" pipe my father got in Germany, where he was stationed after he served in Korea. I'm in construction, have been for 17 years or so, love duck hunting, golf, anything rodeo (as in livestock, not shopping), watching my 3 kids play sports, & plenty of other stuff. Had bad experiences in a couple other, non smoking, forums that left a sour taste, but thought i'd give a try here. At any rate, I look forward to learning!

Hi All - Jason here from central Wisconsin, brand new to pipes and pipe smoking. I've smoked cigars in the past but not frequently. I'm looking forward to learning and growing (as well as smoking) with my first pipe - Savinelli: Caramella Rusticated (606 KS)(6mm). I looked everywhere for an estate version of the pipe but could not find one so I will be breaking her in brand new. What I looking forward to the most is having the concentrated time to just sit back, relax and enjoy the outdoors. I'm a computer programmer so I need more fresh air and time to just sit and reflect. I can't think of a better way to do that than with a nice pipe, good tobacco and good weather. Thanks to all who have spent hours posting and sharing their information to help noobs like me.

Hi all. My name is Diston from Illinois, right across the river from St. Louis. Been a pipe smoker on and off for around 25 years or so. Have a collection of around 20 pipes, mostly Aldo Velani's and a handful of Meers. Still have the first two pipes I ever bought that are Jost's brand. I lurked in the background here, checking out the forums for a bit before joining. I have found the posts here to be friendlier than on some of the other boards I have seen, which is what caused me to join. I will get some pic up in a short while. Look forward to my time here.

I am "Moon" Mullins and have been smoking pipes for over 50 years. I'm 72. As my profile says, I began in 1957 with a Kaywoodie Billiard and a pack of "Amphora" tobacco. I retired from the US Air Force after 22yrs and then spent 18yrs as a Professor of Economics. During my USAF career I spent 64-67' in England where I learned what pipe smoking was all about. At that time some of the best tobacconists in the world were in England and Ireland and i bought Comoys, Dunhills, GBDs, and Petersons, but over the years I misplaced many of them due to moves. I haven't had a new pipe in years. I buy and smoke "estate" pipes because I like the old ones the best.I don't like "flavored" tobacco and even though I try new stuff from time to time, I go back to Sir Walter Raleigh. Nuf said for now.

Hello to all!
I'm Scott and I am from the Shreveport Louisiana area. I have been smoking pipes for 17 years. I am married with two great kids who, thankfully, take after their mother. Work and supporting my kids interest take up most of my time.
My primary hobby is tobacco
I have 14 or so pipes and also partake in snus and snuff. My pipe tobacco stash is around a pound, snus stash about 80 cans and snuff stash around 2 kilos.I joined the site in part to see what other people are smoking and this seems to be a very civil and friendly place.
All the best to you and may you all have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Hello, I live in Oregon and just started smoking a pipe moving over from cigars. I will still smoke an occasional cigar but now mainly smoke a Savinelli bent. I like the aromatics so I'm smoking Mac Baren vanilla bulk. I found 82nd Ave. Cigar shop to be very helpful. They spent much time with me showing me how to load a pipe, rub flake, the different kinds of pipes and price levels, and gave me a good deal on a starter pipe with a couple tobaccos to try.
I own a small boat and fish off the Oregon coast (tuna, salmon, halibut).
I'm looking forward to receiving a Hans Christian Anderson II that I ordered. That is my Christmas present to myself, although my wife bought me tins of Peterson Irish Whiskey and Sweet Killarney. I also have two tins of Mac Baren 7 Seas Gold Blend that I've yet to try. I tried a tin of Dunhill London Mixture and didn't appreciate it. Perhaps with time it will grow on me. I have an older Canadian style pipe enroute from an EBay dealer, so I'll eventually get to the point where I can smoke more than a couple times per week.

Good Day to All,
Just thought I'd take a moment to introduce myself. I've Been an avid pipe and cigar smoker for Just about 20 years now. I've never sat down and counted my pipes but there has to be close to 100 or more. I smoke everything from Cobs, to Briars, to Meerschaum (did I spell it right?) I even have a few old zenith double wall ceramics! Clay's Regimentals...you name it, I have it...LOL. Yes, I'm a collector ;^)
Here's a charring light to many in depth discussions amongst this brethren of the briar.Posted 1 year ago # -
Hello all,
I’m Tim from southern Indiana. I bought my first pipe in 1988 at the age of 18. However there are a few years in that time I really didn’t smoke them that much. I have between 25 and 30 pipes. None of which are high end, mostly Savinelli’s. I am married without children and have two Jack Russell Terriers. My wife and I hunt and attend trials with our terriers which takes up a lot of our free time. My other hobbies include shooting and riding motorcycles but I’m moving away from the bikes to spend more time with our dogs.----> "The measure of one’s character is how you treat people who can't do anything for you."Posted 1 year ago # -

Hello all. My name is Mark and I live in Atlanta with my wife and 8yr old son. I found this place while searching for Atlanta pipe clubs. Since I don't smoke in the house I've been trying to find somewhere to smoke with fellow enthusiasts. It gets lonely sitting on the deck by yourself! Actually it's very relaxing and I enjoy my smokes but it would be great to be able to sit and talk all things pipes and tobaccos with some like-minded folk while having a few puffs. Anyway, great to be here and I hope to make some new friends.

Hi folks!
I'm Ryan, a 33 year old mental health nurse in Nottinghamshire, UK.
I've only been smoking a pipe properly for a couple of months after breaking out the Peterson standard my father left when he passed a couple of years ago. Enjoying the passtime very much, learning the basics and what i like, and have a small collection of about half a dozen or so pipes already.
One of my hobbies is woodturning, which i've been doing a few years now, so i think i will have a bash at pipe making sooner or later...Thanks for the welcome and friend requests. I've lurking for a few weeks, but thought i'd say hi properly!

Hello Group,
Been smoking English/Balkan for a long time. Just recently jumped into the Flake world and can't get enough, 1792 is my current favorite. Where oh where is that FVF everyone is raving about?!

Hi, everybody. I've been lurking at this site for a few months and have flirted with pipe smoking since I was sixteen. When I set aside the cigarettes four years ago pipe smoking became a much more enjoyable substitute for getting a little nicotine in my system. My wife and I have twin sons - both college freshman - and they surprised me with a Nording pipe on Christmas Day. (I haven't broken in a new pipe in over thirty years so I'm not relishing that task. Estate pipes, once sanitized, are my personal favorites.)
