Hello from Lake Havasu!

[johng99]

I am not new to pipes, and have moved back and forth between pipes and cigars since the early 1970's. For whatever reason, somewhere around 2010 I was a cigar smoker exclusively. It wasn't until last fall when my son ask me "Dad. what happened to the pipe? Remember how much we enjoyed smoking them?" and that made me think and I bought some new tobacco. Next thing you know, I haven't touched a cigar in months and have been thoroughly enjoying the rediscovery of how wonderful pipe smoking can be!

Welcome from S.W Michigan. Good to hear you found you way back to pipes. Anytime we can spend quality time with friends and family while doing something enjoyable like puffing a pipe is great.

Johng99, you will save a ton of money. A tin of premium tobacco right now might cost less than 20 USD, about the cost of two medium quality cigars, and the tin will give you 20 pipe chambers or more. Besides which, you can mix blends and single leaf. So congratulations. Welcome from central N.C.

Many here on the forum have a similar history, myself included.
