    New to PipesMagazine

    Good Morning All, Happy to join this forum. I've been a pipe smoker for five years now. Got into the hobby because it reminds me of my dad. Still have fond memories of being a kid and smelling the sweet, aromatic scent of pipe smoke in the air. It brings me great comfort, as I'm sure it does...
