I’ve been lurking here for quite a while. It’s time to introduce myself and start posting. I started smoking a pipe in 1961 and I’m currently 78. As health concerns weigh more heavily now, my smoking habits have changed. I only do 2-3 bowls a week. I’ve always been a fan of Latakia. These days, it comforts me to know that my beloved lats and Orientals are also relatively low in nicotine. Don’t drink as much beer as I used to either. I once had a collection of about 500 pipes, but sold them off many years ago at a couple of Chicago shows. My collection is now about 50, with a mild concentration in classic 1950s-60s British brands — Comoys, Sasieni, BBB, GBD, Charatan and one Dunhill. But I’m also partial to my half dozen Kaywoodies and another half dozen Grabows. I hail from Northern Minnesota, but now spend Winters in the East Bay region of Northern California. I’ll never be an everyday poster, but I’d like to add a few thoughts to the FDA discussion in the next day or so. Happy to meet y’all.

Welcome GVKeeper. If you have any Connoisseurs you want to get rid of, please let me know. Thanks.
