Hello from VA.

[sjs1164]

Hello all...
Stopping by to introduce myself & say hello. I've been a cigar smoker since the late 80's & picked up my first pipe around 2005. I was not as informed as I should have been & put the pipe down due to constant tongue bite. Pick them back up a year ago & haven't stopped since!! I like to refinish old estate pipes, as a lot of us do, and have quite a few waiting for some free time. I think I'm over 100 pipes now & who knows how many pounds of tobacco I've collected so far.
Look forward to learning more from this group as I have been a reader here for a while now.
Good Smokes Y'all !!!
Steve...

Welcome from the SF Bay Area! I was smoking cigars before the pipe as well, and still love cigars.
If you're up for adding pics of your restoration work, there's a subforum for that. Some great, talented folks here.

Hiya from the upstate of SC, Steve! Glad to have you here!

think I'm over 100 pipes now

Man after my own heart. I have no idea what my number is now, other than it's definitely well on the high side of triple digits. :crazy:

Not conveniently, other than by using the quote feature &/or tagging people, i.e., @bill nichols
Kevin (boss/owner) is working on making some major platform changes, so possibly a feature in the new system.
