Brand New to Pipes

[ATCavi8or]

My name is Glenn from New Hampshire and I am a new member to the forum and to pipe smoking. I am a retired USAF Air Traffic Controller that is only about 2 weeks into learning how to smoke a pipe. At 50 years old, it isn’t too late to pick up a new hobby. I am still learning the very basics and have looked up some information on YouTube, but I’m hoping to learn a lot more here.

Welcome aboard! You’ll need every square inch of the thick skin the military gave you. If I had to guess, soon!

What all have you smoked so far? Any early favorites? Anything you hate?

Welcome from Alabama. You came to the right place to learn. Just do the opposite of what we tell you and you’ll be ok.

Welcome aboard.
First piece of advise, take the YTPC off your tobacco radar. This forum is a far better contact!
