Hi all.
I have lurked in these pages a hundred times from google searches when looking things up, so I finally registered here. I usually only post to a pipe group on Facebook, but they don't always have all the answers about provenance of old pipes.
Anyway, I first started smoking a pipe in 1997 when I was 18. First pipe was a Brebbia Avanti bent billiard which I still have. I only smoked on and off for a year or two, then stopped for about 20 years. I came back about 2.5 years ago. I'm now a middle aged college professor who teaches Shakespeare for a living, and it just seemed to make so much more sense for me to be smoking that pipe at my age now. It was like putting on an old glove, though. Now I smoke just about every day. It relaxes me like nothing else.
