I have been hanging around for at least a year.Not much of a joiner I guess. I have owned a basket pipe or two since the eighties.I could never get the hang of pipe smoking until recently,thanks to you guys.Lots of helpful info.on here. I only knew of whatever tobacco that Tinder Box had or Prince Albert.Thanks to this forum I have discovered straight virginia and vaper flakes,these are the only ones I have been able to smoke without turning to wet sour crap in the bottom.Looking forward to getting to know you guys..
