Hello everyone - I started with a Pipe at age 17 - enjoyed it for a couple of years and then started cigarettes.

Now at age 62 I have picked up the Pipe again.

This Forum appears to be very informative - so I hope to learn a lot of new things and get to talk with fellow Pipers.

Oh and I live in North Wales Pa. Ken

Hey, Ken!

I was going to make a wise-ass post that I lived in North Wales for a few years. North Wales, Pa.

I lived in an old Sears cottage, off North Wales Rd. where it crosses the Wissahickon Creek.
Welcome!

Welcome to the forums! I started the pipe 2 months ago and these forums have been a great help.

"Jay is another smoker in Wales, mawnansmiff. He is a great guy."
Jay is actually a Yorkshireman living in Cornwall (in the village of Mawnan Smith, hence the screen name) but let's not let facts get in the way eh Michael :wink:
That said, there are at least two other residents of Wales on the forum as well as yourself Ken and at least two other residents of Cornwall.....both accomplished pipemakers.....other than myself....who is not a pipemaker.
All clear now?
Regards,
Jay.

Eh, those locations are close enough together.... Much closer than Arizona and Missouri, but are different countries. Welsh, Scots, English, Irish- people and country—more different from each other than Massachusetts and California!

Ken is from North Wales, Pennsylvania, USA. Montgomery County. It's a 1/2 hour north of Philadelphia. There are lots of towns in that area named by early settlers for their homes in the Old Country: Gwynedd, Plymouth, Croydon, Devon, Berwyn, Wyncote, St. David's, Chester, Warrington, Coventry and of course, Congo.

Pennsylvania is beautiful country. I too was all warmed up with remarks on other peoples' visit to Wales, U.K., all that singing etc. I'm in central N.C., the state Capital in Raleigh. Welcome aboard.
