Hi everyone,

I’m from Beaverton, OR, just outside Portland. Getting back into pipes via my good friend, Adam.

Been a Cuban cigar smoker since the 70s and an off and on again pipe smoker since about 1997. Told Adam that I was thinking of getting back into pipes this winter, so of course he sent me about 40 tobaccos and a corn cob to flesh out my collection (lol, never had a cob before).

I’m partial to English but am loving a Balkan right now, along with the required Peterson’s Early Morning Pipe. Just picked up a Petersons 304 as well, which is really trick.

I’ll probably join the PDX pipe group at the Thorn and Rose next month as I will be hiding out at the coast during the August meet up.

Thanks for letting me into the club. I have lots to learn and this seems a good place to learn it.
Welcome from Virginia

I made banana walnut pancakes this morning, Mark.

I hope you're pleased with yourself..... nnnn

The first time I went there was on a Sunday morning early. It was very crowded and the bar "after hours" crowd was just giving way to the earliest elements of the "church" crowd. A very unusual mix of customers.

My gal and I were finishing the last few bites of our food and this older couple with the aura of an anguished American Gothic were hawking over our table, clutching menus and scowling.


Ah, fond memories!
