Happy to be here - I've read posts on a dozen topics for years, but never joined, because... ? No idea. Anyway, love pipes and smoking them. Current favorite pipe is all of them (around 70), and tobacco is Eastfarthing. Attempting to start up a St. Paul Pipe Club, but it's kind of a lot of work! Being essentially very lazy, I'm re-evaluating how much I want to do it. But pipers are hard to come by, and it would be so nice to actually talk to someone who shares my passion for pipes. There, I've talked myself back into it. Already this site has paid for itself!
