Hey fellow pipe enthusiasts! I'm absolutely thrilled to be a part of this community of pipe smokers. I come from the hills of Kentucky, where pipe smoking has been a treasured tradition, in my family for generations. My journey with pipes started back in my teens when my grandfather, who was a pipe smoker introduced me to the world of exquisite tobaccos and finely crafted pipes. As time went on I developed an appreciation for English blends. Became quite fascinated with collecting unique handmade briar pipes. My purpose here is to expand my knowledge share my experiences and connect with minded individuals who share this wonderful passion. I'm eagerly looking forward to engaging discussions and insightful exchanges, within this forum!
