Just wanted to say hello as a new member. I tried pipe smoking briefly in my late 20s but didn't stick with it. Put the pipes away and didn't think about it again until running across them a year or so ago. I'm now 66, have added a few pipes to the old ones and I'm finding pleasure in an occasional pipe. I'm definitely a moderate smoker, allowing myself a couple of pipes per week. At my age, I figure the pleasure I get from an occasional pipe offsets any possible health concerns. At some point, you have to balance risk with enjoyment since something will get you eventually no matter how good you are. Anyway, glad to be here and looking for to the discussions.
