Welcome from Pennsylvania and New York.

I suspect a number of us would be curious to see pics of the pipes you’ve been making and testing. There’s a monthly “What Are You Smoking?” thread in the Pipe Tobacco Discussion forum where members share what pipe/blend they’re smoking (and have sometimes made).

Loved the Mark Twain quotation.

I'm happy to show what I've made, as long as it doesn't put me crosswise with the forum rules. I don't want to offend the sponsors.
Plus,I just found out I need a new battery for my fancy digital camera, so that's on order. Hopefully I can get some decent pics up soon. As you guys know, taking pictures of small objects at close range is a whole other art form and I have yet to master it, but I'll do my best.

Hello Kent from an Irishman in New Zealand. Nice intro, and the photo from your porch is beautiful. We are the opposite down here, the sun is splitting the stones at present!

I'm Kent. I'm 72 and long retired. I've enjoyed pipes and cigars off and on for over fifty years. I made my first pipe when I was 19 and only a few more in the middle years, before I got the bug again about three years ago. I enjoy woodworking so it's a perfect outlet. I do own a couple basic Grabows and a Dunhill I've had forever, but I smoke my own pipes now, you know to test them!

Thanks for having me. I'll try not to be too much of a nuisance. I'm looking for the conversations.

Hello and welcome to the Forum from Deep in the Heart of Texas. You will find this site to be informative and the members insightful (and at times, most entertaining). Enjoy your stay!

Well, I'm happy to have received such a warm welcome from such a group of fine-looking people. My wife is a HS art teacher and amateur photographer, so when my camera battery, etc. comes in I'll see about getting some pictures up.
Thank you again for the kindness.
