Hello from NYC

[anotherbob]

I'm not the 'committee' type, as I saw Condorlover putting it recently. That's partly why I like the atmosphere of this forum!

An individual I take it. Oh well eventually we'll get you back into the hive.

Welcome, from a fellow New Yorker! Born in Queens, now in Brooklyn for 21 years.
Where are you located?

Thanks, friend. East Village for ~5 years, and 2 years a bit south-west before that.

Welcome from Florida. I am originally from Boston. I had a number of friends from NYC while I was at Boston University.

I understand your wanting to stay invisible on a site like this. I was cautious as well in the beginning. I have since become open with a lot of people on this site. I have made some good friends which I knew was possible as I made a lot of friends back in my cigar days.

So, Soho or the Lower East Side prior? Have you been down to Barclay Rex on Pearl St? Great and attentive service there. Though tins come at a premium in the shop, they do sell solid house blends by the ounce and, if you're lucky, you might find a bag of some unicorn Esoterica blends. The last two times I visited, I was able to buy a bag of Penzance and Stonehaven respectively. You do have to ask as they keep them under wraps. Also their estate pipe collection is worth checking out.

That's right, border of Soho and Chinatown.

I haven't been to Barclay Rex. I like the idea of picking up some out of production blends, though. I'll keep this in mind!

Welcome aboard from Florida. And, yeah, we’re a “special” group. ?

Being a philosophy professor at NYU sounds like a dream job. My wife lived in Greenwich Village for decades, on Waverly Place. Welcome aboard from central North Carolina.

Oh that address brings back memories!

Okay so you're from my favorite part of NYC

Welcome to the forums, from Western Pa! And based on your intro, I'll add I'm a Buddhist but I'm not very good at it lol. Note to others: You can "do" Bhuddism as well as your preferred religion, as it's not a religion itself, at least by Western standards. Thought I should throw that in there :p

…eventually we'll get you back into the hive.

In my case I guarantee that would only happen posthumously.
