So, I am sitting with a great friend at the 2018 Chicago Pipe Show in the smoking tent enjoying a bowl with a table full of friendly fellows. One reaches into his pocket and pulls out a new tin of Dunhill Flake and gives it to me. Another tosses over a tin of And So To Bed. A third hands me a tin of Harvest on Hudson. Only recently, and through forums like this one, I now realize that none of these tobaccos are made any more. I am just so moved by the generosity of these people I met. And it's possible I will not be able to thank them properly. So, thank you to all of you, and especially to aforesaid fellows and those like them who want to connect and share the fun.
While I have smoked pipes off and on since college (>30 years) I only now have made an effort to really learn about this hobby. And because of my experience at the show, I want to get more involved. Thus, this introduction, and my pledge to pay it back if I can.
