I've already had a few posts but thought I'd introduce myself anyway. I've been a pipe smoker from the day my father-in-law died and left all his pipes to the the only male in his immediate family. That was 35 years and a lot of tobacco and pipes ago. Although I'm a very private person I can disclose that I recently moved to Tiburon California and I have a collection of about 70 pipes and my favorite smoking is mostly done in my back yard with an incredible, unobstructed view of San Francisco.
