Hello I’m Preston. I’m excited to be a part of this community finally. I have been reading these threads for a while but for some reason haven’t joined until now. I’ve been smoking a pipe for several years, and I started learning how to make them around two years ago. Making pipes has become something of an obsession for me and trying to get everything right keeps me pretty busy. I have a pretty decent collection that I smoke regularly. Most of the ones I smoke are ones that I’ve made but I do smoke several that I have bought as well. I also have a plethora of estate pipes that I have been wanting to fix up for a while but haven’t got around to yet, unfortunately. But anyway, I look forward to discussing all things pipes and pipe tobacco. My favorite blends are heavy Lat English blends, just fyi. I will work on my profile as soon as I get a chance and I look forward to being part of the group. Thanks
