Hello from Austin, TX

[jackattack]

Hello; My name is Jack and I'm addicted to smoking.

I started with cigarettes when I was around 14 and smoked them for about 20 years. I quit them because I was tired of hacking shit up every morning just to scratch an itch. I took up the devil's lettuce (jazz cabbage, mary jane, whacky weed) habitually for about 8 years before I realized that it didn't really work anymore and I was still hacking shit up every morning. I quit that for a tobacco pipe about 5 months ago and have been enjoying this new addiction a great deal.

Bijou, Bayou Morning, and Commander's Choice have been my favorites so far and I really enjoy trying the different blends/types of tobacco that are out there. I have a MM corncob, Rossi bent billiard, and a Savinelli Bing's Favorite.

Cheers.

I am in the 75% of Americans who cannot get addicted to Tobacco, but I sure enjoy a good smoke when time presents itself.
