I've been lurking for a bit...Recently retired and started smoking a pipe. I've accumulated about 15 pipes in the last month along with about 20 different tobaccos. I've been reading and learning and experimenting. I enjoy learning about different pipe types, bowl shapes and tobacco blends. The first pipe I purchased was a Missouri Meerschaum country gentleman...I now have 5 different MM's.
I've also purchased some refurbed estate pipes from ebay...Jensen, kaywoodie, wally frank, dr. grabow etc.
I will eventually buy my first new quality briar pipe once I determine what I might want.
I'm enjoying it. A cup of tea and a bowl in the morning is a nice way to start the day...and a bowl in the evening to relax and wind down. maybe a bowl or two during the day depending on what I'm doing.
Lots of knowledge here and I've learned alot!
