DOB Dec 7, 1945 so I should be somewhat mature but there's a couple of ex-wives with varying opinions; they're exs so I heed then even less now.
Started on a pipe at the tender age of about 15, admittedly for nefarious reasons. There was a young (but older than me) lady I was quite taken with. I thought I could off-set my baby face by ditching the obvious high school attire and wearing tweeds and I figured a pipe went w/ a tweed and hoped it would add a little credibility.
The first of my many disappointments in l'amour; I shall not bore you with the details.
I've been a lover of Briar and a few select meers ever since. I probably own 6-7 dozen pipes but really only smoke about 10 on a regular basis and have a Maduro Robusto or double Corona evry 5-10 days. I favour anything robust (965-ish) and abhor anything strongly cherry, chocolate et al (although I'm exceedingly fond of Special Dark Chocolate). I know a lot of folks like flavoured tobacco so I figure I'm helping them by leaving 'my share' for them.
Probably not much different from many here; distrust politicians out of hand, have no time for BS and am glad a certain segment of society actually wears under wear but, really dislike seeing the day's colour. I shoot, roll my own, fish as I can, am retired but looking for something to do. Read a fair bit but watch limited TV and almost no broadcast news.
Considering another touring bike but we'll see; my knees are reminding me how old they are and re-enforcing that some of my more youthful endeavours really weren't good ideas.
Currently live in 38105; wife came here on contract a few years ago & one thing led to another. Between the pollen, horrible drivers, general stupidity and casualness of violent crime, I give that about another 6 months. Then we're heading a little higher.
There; y'all should be bored by now.
