Welcome back. I'm a new member and new pipe smoker (little over 4 months now). Best wishes to you on your recovery.

Sounds like you have some stories to tell! Glad you are on the mend and welcome back.
As for great new blends, have your tried Captain Black Grape?

I kid! I kid!! :D

 

[ssjones]

Wow, that sounds like an ordeal, welcome back!

 

[jvnshr]

[cosmicfolklore]

Welcome back!!!

 

[smittyd]

Welcome back! Glad to hear your on the mend.

 

[fordm60]

Captain Black Grape.......I am unsure how to properly convey my thoughts on that lmao!!
Again thank you all for the warm reception!!
(Now I have to go see if CB Grape is real or a meme lol)

 

[mikethompson]

Oh it is real! Its kind of a running joke around here.

Ford,
Good to see you back! I still haven't found that pipe you're looking for at the price you want to pay for it, but I'm still looking.

 

[tennsmoker]

Ford, welcome back and glad to see you are on the mend.

 

[lawmax3]

Glad you are back!

Keep positive, work hard and it won't be long before those braces are history.

 

[lifesizehobbit]

Good to see you back; glad you're on the mend from all the experiences.

 

[condorlover1]

Glad to see you back chum. Condor Plug has gone down hill other than that not much else has changed. We got a new President just in case you didn't notice!

 

[eltice]

Welcome back! Great to hear you are on the road to recovery!
Just so you know, don’t ask about McClelland’s or Dunhill....touchy subject! Lol

Just so you know, don’t ask about McClelland’s or Dunhill....touchy subject! Lol

Every so often, a pipe smoker emerges from the vault and asks 'Does anybody know where I can get some Nightcap or Christmas Cheer? They are out of stock everywhere', and this forum collectively winces.

 

[cigrmaster]

Welcome home. I hope your recovery continues to go well.
The three best blends I have tried in the last year have been:

Peter Heinrichs Curly Block

Savinelli Doblone d'Oro

Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs.
The Curly and Salty can be somewhat difficult to find but nothing as bad as Esoterica blends. The Savinelli is easy to get.

fordm60, your story may be long but doesn't sound boring, more like harrowing. Welcome back. I'm glad your pleasure in a pipe stayed with you.
