Welcome aboard, Holmes!

I think you’ll find the forum quite friendly, and if not tell them to fuck off! ?

The water down in NC must be conducive to hair growth.

Haha yeah, I'm trying to see how long I can stop giving a shit. I already feel at home

Hey Brewer, from the capital of The Old North State. Glad you piped up, as it were. Lots of good info, expertise, and conversation here. My dad was a Granger man, and smoked one pipe at a time, endlessly, until it burnt out, then bought another.

Oh I've been lurking for years and just decided that this is my kind of proxy hangs haha. Unfortunately my old man switched to Camels, but left me the pipes! As far as OTCs I'm a Carter Hall fan first and foremost, but nothing wrong with a good ole bowl of Granger.

Welcome from Knik River, Alaska!!!! Unfortunately smoking nothing for days, as I have come down with a flu-like virus. Pretty sure I could roast a bowl on my forehead right now.

Welcome from SE Georgia sir! Having a bowl of War Horse Bar and a Yuengling light as we speak (or as I type)

Warhorse, Condor, and St. Bruno flake/ Ready Rubbed always have a spot at the front of my cellar ///

Glad you joined the group. My brother used to race motorcycles, had a guy from Shelby that did performance work on his dirt bikes, name escapes me though.

I grew up in Greenville, SC, but I moved to Shelby to run a brewery up this way. I really do love this little town in a way. It does have a twisted charm to it

Greetings as wishing you well as a responsibililty taking pipe smoker! Great to have you. Whatcha smoking and what instruments do you prefer?

Trying to break myself of stuffy old British man tobacco that I've been puffing on for weeks, so I just lit up some 4th Generation Family Reserve. I'm into almost every style and process, but I've definitely a soft spot for aros with quality leaf and more of a top note than a heavy casing. I think that's about all I can't get with. I'm an absolute lat hound and I love VA flakes, VA/Pers, and VA/ Burs? I feel like tobaccos and pipes are just as moody as we are haha. I currently have only four workhorses that are not very expensive and I spend endless amounts of money and time on collecting, blending, and pouring over literature on the leaf. Who else has this problem? Oh, and I bought a Lotus with the built-in tool kit and I'm riding the wheels off of it hahaha

You have a breathtaking backyard out there!

 

[BlueMaxx]

It can be, but if I turned the camera around you would see row after row of corn....gotta pick your views.

 

[BROBS]

If you like OTC Brit blends and Amphora Kentucky you may like MacBaren Old Dark Fired. It’s available in bulk and darn legit.

 

[irimi the pipe]

well as a new member as well...welcome!

one of my faves, man. The bold Kentucky also rules. I've been considering breaking down and getting a pound haha. Also a big fan of the Peter Heinrichs Dark Strong Flake. Excellent stuff

I grew up in the middle of the woods, so I am actually pretty partial to rows of corn. I'm sure it's super tranquil to puff out there
