    Thank you for the warm welcome everyone! Thanks! Took me 8 years and I still consider myself very much a novice, having made less than 75 pipes. I have too many hobbies...

    I frequent many forums and have been lurking at pipesmagazine for a while, but somehow I never got round to making an account over here. Time to make amends. I've been smoking pipes since 2010 after a cigar topic on gaming forum I frequented at the time. Less than a year after I made my first...
