My grandfather didn't smoke a pipe, but my uncle and some of my elementary school teachers did. In 1998, my neighbor Sam invited me out, and we ended up back at his place where there was a cigar humidor, and pipe rack on the coffee table. I had my first cigar, and then decided to try pipes too. I love the elegance and relaxation of smoking a pipe. In 2002, I started learning how to make websites, do SEO, and create content. I had a cigar content site and forums from 2005-2008 when it was bought out. In 2009, I launched PipesMagazine.com, which is now the largest, busiest community forums, and article content site for pipe and tobacco enthusiasts. We have one of the longest running pipe and tobacco focused podcasts since 2012 with lifetime industry veteran, Brian Levine.

Wow! Very cool! I had totally forgotten about this and I just received an email from Kevin saying I had won a Sebastien Beo Pipe from Smokingpipes.com! How cool is that?!
Thanks, Kevin! and thanks to Sebastien Beo and Smokingpipes.com (I love that place!)!
Congrats to the other winners! I will definitely post a photo with my new Sebastien Beo! Awesome!
Great job Frank!

Those were great!
Congratulations on your new :puffy:
Congrats everyone!
Ha! Thanks for the opportunity to participate. I had fun working this one out, and am excited about winning a pipe! They say that laughing at your own jokes is a sign of being self-absorbed… but I have to admit that I just laughed and laughed after that brief flash of comic awareness 🙂 Congrats to my fellow winners and thanks Kevin for sweetening the pot with the prizes – J.P.

Lol Congrats everyone. I totally agree on the choice of the winner. Blew my joke out of the water haha. PIPES FOR EVERYONE!
Congrats to the winners! This was a toughie for me, so I really appreciate the very clever competition. There are some truly bright and witty people in our community!
Thanks to Kevin and Greg, Smokingpipes.com and Sebastien Beo and congratulations to the other winners.

Hey Kevin,
Just got my brand new Sebastien Beo pipe, courtesy of you guys and smokingpipes.com, and, wow! What a beauty! Classic French styling, really excellent fit and finish, the briar is super pretty (especially for its price point)! Nice cross grain and even birdseye, and the light weight and beautifully tapered stem make this the perfect clencher! Comes in a beautiful box, in an even more beautiful, thick, wine-colored velvet pipe bag (even the packaging details are beautiful). And wouldn’t you know it? I just looked through my pipe collection and realized I did not have even one straight, smooth, classic billiard! That is, until now!
Thanks again to Kevin, pipesmagazine.com and smokingpipes.com for this very cool prize! I will post a pic (toby in chamber burning, pipe in my gob) just as soon as I get a chance. Thanks again, guys!
