Hello. I would love to visit there.

Greetings from the beautiful country of Uganda!

I'm on this site with a VPN, because it is blocked here, presumably as part of the government's efforts against smoking.

An accident followed by a botched surgery changed my life and I started pipe smoking as a solace...

I'm in my 40's, love my wife of half my life, live the wilds of Africa, and enjoy my Savinelli (poker) and my Kikos while looking out over Lake Victoria.

It's nice to join you all. This is such a pleasant group!

Welcome friend! From the mid west of Canada.

Very nice! Always good to get some international flavour on here!

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome!

Oh no, he came back with the first wave of covid, before we were really even sure what it was. He has been working with a firm that restructures inner city health plans now (or something like that). But, it really was a shame. He had learned French, German, and several African languages, and it had been his goal to work in Africa with the PC since he was 10 years old. He had even been on a waiting list to be in the village that he was with for a few years.
He will most likely go back as soon as he can get reassigned to an area that he wants to be in.

All the best to him!

G'day and welcome from Oz.

Wow Welcome Uganda!

Can’t say you hear much about pipe smokers in Uganda, and I hope when you puffing the ole pipe, kicking back and staring out at the Lake you’ll share pictures!

Aloha from Hawaii! ?

P.S. I just Googled Lake Victoria, to learn of it.

Thanks! I have yet to meet another gentleman pipe smokers in Uganda (aside from the two I've taught) otherwise pipe- smoking is mostly only done by some old grandmas! ?

Welcome! I'd like to go to Uganda someday. Sounds like an interesting place to live.
