Long time lurker, recent poster. Smoked cigars and pipes in college. Got back into it around 2015 or so And started a collection. Castello is my favorite brand along with a few other Italian makers and North American artisan pipes. Scott Thile and Barnard/BST are two favorites. Enjoy English blends and some aromatics. Known to smoke some Carter Hall on occasion. I expect that to be held against me! Lol
Outside of pipes I’m a bourbon and scotch drinker. A bit of a wine snob. My pipe collection and tobacco cellar pales in comparison to my wine cellar. Mostly Syrah, Pinot Noir, and Cabs from Santa Barbara area, Sonoma, and Willamette Valley. Other hobbies include working out, breeding and showing Boxers, and playing music. I play mandolin, tenor banjo, and guitar in bluegrass, Celtic, and old time music.
Look forward to participating more!
