Hello From Georgia

I'm sorry for your loss Manx. I hope that these pipes and their aromas will bring you many fond memories and feelings of closeness with your Dad.

Welcome to the forum, from rainy (seriously!) Southern California.

Welcome from the Central Coast of California!

I wish your father and you could have shared some bowls together. Sorry for your loss.

Don't worry about torching a pipe. You have to be very ham-handed to do so, or drunk, or a bit dim.

hi from PA. pipes are easy getting a great smoke is a little more tricky.

I am very new to the world of pipes and tobacco. My father passed away and I inherited some items. I guess I wanted to learn more about how to do things correctly before just lighting one up. I look forward to learning many things from past and future posts here. Nice to meet you all.

Welcome to the forum and all things pipe.

I'm sorry to hear about your father, but hopefully you can remember him with your new interest in pipes.

Welcome from tropical north Australia! I've returned to the pastime after a more than 30 year gap. It seems like I'm starting from scratch, lots of developments since I last enjoyed pipes. And I'm learning lots from this welcoming bunch, hope you do too.

Hello Georgia, from the Texas of Canada!

Sucks about your Dad, but at least you can come here and learn about his hobby. Maybe you'll feel more of a connection with him as you smoke? It's a pretty reflective pastime. You might even be able to hand down one of his pipes to one of your kids one day. That would make me pretty happy if my grandkids ended up with my pipes when I was gone.

Cheers and good luck!

Where the hell is the Texas of Canada?
No offense intended. I’m a Canadian living in Kansas City - just never heard of the Texas of Canada.

Ok, that's not where @olkofri is from then. He lives somewhere unpronounceable if I remember correctly.

I guess if Saskatoon is the Paris of the prairies Alberta might as well be the Texas of Canada

Welcome the the club! Sorry to hear about your father. I hope you can relive fond memories while enjoying a delicious bowl.

Well if that's the case then is Paris the Paris of Texas?
