Welcome from South FL - Typically visit Chicago every year or so for work. Love the architecture, the food, and the music. Have good friends living in the city and suburbs. Looking forwards to taking my kids to the Museum of Science and Industry; among many other things the German U-boat exhibit is amazing.

An Irishman living in lovely Chicago suburbs!

Been in the hobby for many a year - frequenter of Iwan Ries and lover of all things tobacco related.

Recently got my entire jarred collection out and wanting to rediscover this great hobby.

Been 2 years since I've been involved - sad to see McClelland gone, lots of Russ' blends out of production, Dunhill is now Peterson and some other oddities. I dare not ask about Esoterica and all the hubub about Penzance et al.

Nice to meet you all.
Hello fellow comrade of the People’s Republic of Illinois ? I’m out in the Western Burbs.
Got my start back in ‘91 when I was going to Loyola Watertower campus. Would venture down to IRC at least 3 times a week and gab with Chuck and the crew.
Perusing the drawers of Estates was my “porn”. I’d ogle the heck out of ‘em.?
And the guys there taught me a ton about proper piping. Don’t make it down there nearly often enough anymore as I pretty much avoid the city like the plague.
