    Greetings All and Sundry from the Pacific NW!

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob Hi, I'm new to the forum - I've taken up my old hobby of pipe smoking again in the last year or so (much to my long-suffering wife's chagrin), and found the Pipes Magazine forum while looking up a Tsuge bamboo sitter not long ago.
