Hi there,

I am Patrick from the great state of Texas. I am new to pipe smoking, started with a cheap cherrywood pipe, and fell in love. The same day I got my cherry wood I went out and got a nice Italian Briar from my local tobbacoist. I knew Id be smoking a lot and cherrywood just wouldn't take the heat.

So far I've tried 24k, and English Luxery tobaccos. I have recently ordered "Visions of Celephaïs" from Cornell & Diehl's "Old Ones" series as I am a fan of classic liturature, H.P. lovecraft being among my favorites.

In fact it was classic literature that sparked my fancy in pipe smoking. I was reading Sir Arthur Conen Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series, in which Mr. Sherlock and Dr. Watson frequently smoke Tobacco pipes for mental stemulation. I like how Sherlock would measure issues by pipe bowels, I.E. "This is a 3 pipe problem dear Watson!"

So here I am, subcribing to email lists and forums to increase my knowledge on Pipes, and tobaccos which was surprisingly and refreshingly quite rich and vast.

Pleased to make your acquaintances,

Patrick Green

Welcome from Colorado! I like all the Lovecraft-Themed “The Old Ones” series by C&D, with Dreams of Kadath as my favorite and then Mad Fiddler Flake in 2nd place. Good stuff!

Can't wait for my dreams of Kadath to arrive, I'll have to order me some Fiddler Flake next!

Welcome,

Is it me or does there seem to be quite a few new members from Texas?
I may live in Louisiana, but I was born and mostly raised in SE Texas. Graduated from high school in Beaumont.
