I have been a pipe smoker since I went to live at College at 18 - 35 years ago. This is the first time I've encountered a PS community, I'm enbarassed it took me so long to find. I hate to call it smoking. It's aroma-therapy. My collection is small b/c I tend to use my pipes to death before replacing them, I rarely have more than 10. I have two old meerschaums, and a very old Petersen Irish Bent. They are my foundation pipes. I also have a barrel clay pipe that is over 20 years old, stained and chewed down from a 1/2 warden to a stub at this point. Others come and go but I always have a cob pipe, I work as a horticulturist and the cob pipe is my work-a-day go to.

I have been a client of TH since I started using a pipe,Turkish Evening was my favourite for years, from McClelland (I think). Unfortunately it became unavailable with the advent of COVID, TH told me they went out of business. Now, I generally smoke a blend named Mark Twain...if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with. Mark Twain does feel particularly appropriate with the Mississippi Meerschaum.

Welcome!

Hah! Your username brings back a flood of memories. Had not thought about Syd & Marty Kroft in a long time. They closed the amusement park they had in Atlanta several years ago too.

Yep, McClelland went under very early in 2018.
