A Very Big "Thankyou"...

[kris]

Hi.
You dont't know me but I feel like I know all of you. I've been lurking for about 5 months now, visiting daily and reading all the threads.
Anyway, finally took the plunge & signed up just so I could actually give thanks to you all for all the great friendly advice that is dished out on a daily basis.
I was an 80-a-day ciggie smoker. Quit & picked up the pipe on 1st April and haven't had a single cig since. Also, I now actually ENJOY tobacco instead of just needing it. This is in no small part due to reading all the great stuff you guys are posting.
Anyway, once again, Thanks for everything! (except the mental image burned into my brainpan of the "oldcajun" sitting on his porch in his skivvies with pockets)

Welcome Kris. Congratulations on quitting the cigs, I cannot imagine how tough that must have been for you. I am glad the pipe and this forum has helped you, I imagine you and your family must be very proud of your accomplishment. Keep up the good work and please join in.

Welcome aboard Kris! That is so great that you were able to kick the nails :clap: . That was about a $20/day habit!? That will buy you some great pipes and baccy and still have plenty left over.

Ace, you forgot to mention that they also come with a signed photo so you can replace the mental image with a framed one. 8O
