Not since routinely pouring over The Pipe Smoker's Ephemeris printed publication, defunct now for 25 years or so, have I taken an interest in pipe chatter. This looks like a great site to get information, read interesting news and opinions, and once again chime in from time to time. I started pipe smoking 49 years ago and smoked day and night for many years. The last 15 years or so, I have just 2 or 3 pipes at the end of the day, rotating among 25 pipes I have, down from 75 in days past. I worked in 2 pipe shops and a cigar bar over the years, part time. Pipes and tobacco -- I've probably tried or experienced 75% or more of what's been available the last 50 years, though I don't fancy myself as some highfalutin authority or expert on anything. I just know what I enjoy and look forward to sharing thoughts, impressions, opinions, and more with you down the road. Cheers... sherlockRoy
