Can't believe I've been here a year already. Seems like only yesterday I joined up and started wondering what all the crazy sumbitches with a little signature or title denoting a "Brother of the Black Frigate" was all about. All I knew, was I had to find out. Here I am, a year later, 30 tins of Black Frigate deep and counting while also discovering other awesome blends and pipes and things I never really had thought about before. I've seen things that would make a grown man screech in terror and run for cover. I've seen Bill in a speedo while he barbecued a pigeon he caught in the sails. I've seen Anthony do the Flibberty Gibbit, Gullah Gullah dance while slugging fluid and wearing a coconut bra (not for the faint of heart, let me tell you). I've seen the Captain smoke 4 Savinelli 904's at one time and marveled, and seen whales in the midst of....well...you know...the water dance of mystical creation? Some things you just can't unsee....
When I started smoking a pipe, all I knew was that the blends I was able to buy in the drugstore was all that was out there. Never knew you could buy the stuff we can buy online and started kicking myself that I didn't get back sooner to enjoy some of the fantastic blends I've tried.
I've met some damn good people and traded tampers, scrapple, tobacco and pipes and received the same from others. This is such a fantastic community and I look forward to many more good times, discussions and meeting even more good people.
Now I'm sitting at the house and will be keeping an eye out for that official, superior, fantastical Preferred Member package I've heard so many good things about. I won't hold my breath, but hey, there's a little hope out there, right?
Huh? Wait, what's that? What do you mean it was all a hoax? Anthony's unicorn ate all the damn Preferred Member packages? Well.... Shit. At least I have a cob stuffed with Frigate and a glass full of whisky. All is right in the world, brothers. Happy smoking! ::
