    Hello edger, I have lived in GA my whole life. My last name origin is English and is very close to your name used on this forum. I believe our tree also has some Irish as well as others. If this is in regards to the red hair, I color it. Shhh. Don't tell anyone. I tend to think it makes me...

    Haha, light them with a torch! Your words that your dad would want you to enjoy the fishing gear made a lot of sense. So today, I picked up the pipe that I am drawn to the most and no googling. I selected a different tobacco as well and I thoroughly enjoyed trying the new method described...

    Very well described. I had another late afternoon smoke today and I was thinking about what you said. I do think it gave me additional time in my smoke where I was tasting more of the flavor. Thank you.

    Hello From Georgia

    Hello fellow Georgian. Good advice for sure and I will be soaking up all the knowledge I can find. I have yet to light one up yet until I make sure I won't damage a pipe. I started a bunch of projects at once so my researching time has been less than I would like at present. It is rainy so...

    Hello From Georgia

    My dad also smoked pretty much his whole adult life. I hope you are right about picking up more than I may have realized. I have been reading here and there in my spare time and someone said that newbies end up torching the pipes so that made me a little nervous. I would hate to ruin one as I...

    Hello From Georgia

    Hi there! He smoked pretty much as long as I can remember. I always loved the way the tobacco smelled and I still do. My siblings and I split up the pipes and hopefully one day his grandkids will get one. I don't have any children but I could at some point gift one to a niece or nephew. Thanks...

    Hello From Georgia

    I am very new to the world of pipes and tobacco. My father passed away and I inherited some items. I guess I wanted to learn more about how to do things correctly before just lighting one up. I look forward to learning many things from past and future posts here. Nice to meet you all.
