Hello,
I’ve been a pipe smoker since the mid 70’s, back then I started out with a Dr. Grabow and Medico pipe, Kaywoodie’s were too expensive for me at the time. Eventually I got into big Italian briar and had a small collection of Savinelli pipes and enjoyed smoking them for years. Now that I’m older and have to smoke outside I’m into smaller, lighter pipes with a shorter smoke time. The summer heat and humidity can be brutal here, so the less time spent outside smoking the better. I still have a love for Italian briar like my newest additions to the rotation, the Rossi 8207 Apple, that pipe is perfect for a short smoke on the back deck or a walk along the tree line. I have a few of these in rotation that I smoke daily. I’ve also been reading up on Falcon pipes, it might be another option for a short smoke if I can get past the look. We’ll see.
Okay, about me, I’m 68 years young and semi-retired. I was born in south Louisiana, raised in Texas, served in the military and now live in North Carolina. I like bluegrass music, the blue ridge mountains and southern cooking. Pinto’s and cornbread anyone?
I look forward to participating in the forums when and where I can be of help. Thanks for having me.
