Marhaba Elie!
I spent my sophomore year in high school living in Beirut with my Mother and Father. Great memories, great people, and great food!
Did you know there is a pipe club in Lebanon based in Beirut?
Here is the link:
www.pipecluboflebanon.org
I hope you can hook up with them and have some fellow pipe smokers to smoke with.
I'm so very sorry for the difficulties going on in Lebanon for the Lebanese people. I hope things improve for all the good people of your country.
Cheers!
Monty, from Texas!
