Hey everyone, found this wealth of knowledge and love what everyones doing here so I thought I should join. I used to smoke pipes a couple years ago and then got into cigars, now im thinking of getting back into pipes with the occasional cigar. Look forward to learning and trying new things!

Welcome! I grew up in FLA myself, but haven't lived there since I was 17. The cost-per-smoke for a lot of good pipe tobacco blends is more favorable than lots of cigars, I find. You don't have to spend a ton of money on the pipe itself, if you don't want to.

Thanks! Where about in florida?? Yea Ive noticed the cost isnt as bad per smoke and theres just something about the ritual of packing and lighting and everything that just isnt there with cigars. Still good, just different.

Near Lake City (ever heard that Tom Petty song where he sings something about playing a show in a "redneck bar in Lake City"?). :LOL: Haven't been back in years, though, and probably would barely recognize it if I did.

Welcome from Lutz, Florida
Hello from Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England, UK.
I got into smoking clay pipes after watching English Civil War & 18th / 19th Century Redcoat reenactment.
I thought you might like this promotional video for The Sealed Knot made in 2016: Notice the man smoking the clay pipe 40 seconds in.
A couple of images of British miltary redcoats smoking clay pipes:

I like your profile picture of the Napoleonic redcoat military uniform.
I've got a redcoat uniform I bought in Matlock before the lockdown started and it looks very smart. I can't wait to wear it and smoke a clay pipe of baccy!

Welcome from central N.C. My cousin lives on family river frontage outside Ft. Myers on the Caloosahatchee, where I went after h.s. graduation to ride their horses and camp in the Everglades.
