Long time lurker here ... I’ve spent countless hours reading through these forums, and I feel like I know many of you active posters now (kind of creepy, eh?). I’ve always been a person that listens before speaking, and I guess that’s that’s translated to my delay joining :D
I started smoking pipes about a decade ago, took some time off from it just because it happened that way, and over the last year got back into it. I was a little shocked to see that McC folded, as this was my first blend smoking (blackwoods flake, which I still have around 500g in the cellar from 2008 along with some FM / FM AtP and SG fvf from same time). McC was well stocked in a shop in downtown DC and I used to spend hours on break perusing, checking out the selection. But, it seems like that’s how this hobby goes, and seems to add the nostalgia / collectors factor for the hobby
I keep an active 4-5 blend rotation going, usually 1x each of english, oriental, vaper, and va (+ an aro that only gets smoked as a crowd pleaser, which is very rarely .. it’s the only way I enjoy an aro..).
I love the outdoors, hanging with family and friends, a smooth smoke, a tasty libation, appreciate a good looking woman, and a meditative mindset
Glad too be here with you all. Tons of respect to the community; the community has a great vibe going
Thx for keeping the pipe hobby alive!

@pepesdad1 ... ahhh, the nomadic land of FL. Lived in Ft Myers for a time; met my wife there. We moved to Jax for a few years as well. I miss being able to chill at the beach on a whim, but I don’t miss tourist season nor the late summer humidity ha! Nice to meet you

It seems like every time I have a long day at work I miss all the shenanigans and new members. I have to ask... do you really kick bears? 8O

Don't lie, Anthony. We know what you were actually doing.
Embers told us about the cleaning fluid you thought was Captain Morgan. :nana:
