I'm new to the hobby and to Pipes Magazine, and am enjoying both. I've also discovered the radio show, which is completely stupendous.
My first pipes are estates, donated by my older brother, and my first tobaccos are those that Dad smoked - Sir Walter Raleigh and Amphora Cavendish. I wish Dad's pipes were still around, but that wasn't to be.
I spent ten years in Pitt County NC, in a wonderful community called Pactolus, where I became well acquainted with the history and production of flue-cured Virginia tobacco, but wasn't smoking yet. Now that I've taken up the pipe, my memories of tobacco growing next to my house appear in a new light.
I'm glad to be here!
