Hello everyone, I made an account a long time ago but then got distracted, so I'll make my introduction now. I've smoked a pipe off and on for a couple years now, and finally decided to make it my main form of indulging my nicotine habit. I had an uncle who always smoked Half and Half, and I love smoking it too. My preferences for pipe tobacco vary widely. I'll just as soon be in the mood to smoke an old OTC blend as I would pack a bowl of something more "refined". VaPers, Orientals, Aromatics, and everything in between I enjoy at different times. I'm in my late twenties, and seem to be part of the growing number of younger men, at least that I know of in my circle of friends, who have somewhat recently started to enjoy pipe smoking. I have three pipes currently in rotation, as an attempt to keep certain blends in a designated pipe, but none of them would probably be very impressive to you seasoned veterans here: a Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman, a Dr. Grabow Riviera (in honor of my late uncle), and last Christmas my lovely wife got me a Peterson Rusticated Derry (bent), which I love. Looking forward to getting to know you all and learning a lot!

Welcome from North Carolina. By the sounds of it, you are off to a good start.
Hey from central North Carolina. I grew up in suburban Chicago and my family vacationed for a number of years at College Camp on Lake Geneva in Southern Wisconsin. I have many good memories of that clear water with tiny round pebbles underfoot, and the walk up the steep bluff to Yerkes Observatory, and a friendly dog named Trixie, and so on. Welcome aboard.
Welcome from northern Illinois, 17 miles south of the Illinois/Wisconsin border.
Lake Geneva is a beautiful area, it seems a lot of folks from Illinois come up to vacation or have a second house there, spawning some great Chicago style food places to cater to the demographic, I can get some authentic Italian cold cuts from a nearby place.
Glad to meet you neighbor! We’re very close to the state line too, it takes less time for me to get to Rockford than it does to go up to Madison
Thank you, hope I’ll get a chance to see the Big Apple for real some day. Was in the city only for a couple hours once as a teenager, our car almost overheated on the George Washington bridge, fun times.
Thank you. My late mother and her side of the family are spread across West Virginia and Southeastern Ohio. My maternal grandfather hailed from Leon in Mason Co. Beautiful land, some of my favourite childhood memories were there
You're very welcome. I would be happy for you to visit; we have a shortage of normal people here lately. I had some fun times in Wisconsin a while back. Hope to see you here soon!
