Allow Me to Introduce Myself

[Bookshop Spectre]

Greetings

Clinical psychologist (in-training), churchman, hardcore punk, hailing from Chicago.

Started pipe smoking in May of this year after being introduced to the hobby by some fellow churchmen, was an avid cigar smoker prior. This forum has been and endless trove of information and entertainment from my entree. In truth, I thought I'd be just fine lurking about indefinitely, but i have a tin I can't stomach so I wanted to post it on the giveaway/trade board. Figured I'd intro myself beforehand.

Favorite blends:

Haunted Bookshop
Plum Pudding
10 Russians
Cross-eyed Cricket
Purple Cow
Escudo NDL

Happy to be here and a heartfelt thank you for the guidance and information thus far.

Nicholas

Also an old punker, still living in the northwest side of the city. Closer to needing a psychologist than training to become one.

There's an active and fantastic local club, whose next meeting is Saturday September 25th at Arlington Pipe and Cigar.

I'm in Old Irving. You can hop on the metra at Jeff Park and take it to Arlington Heights (not Park). The pipe shop is a 10 minute walk from the station.

Or you can PM me and we can meet up for a bowl somewhere between us.
