So here I am, 2000 posts along the way. Right now I'm smoking Edgeworth Match, a modern-day rendition of the very first tobacco I ever smoked, the original Edgeworth Ready Rubbed, in a corncob pipe no less, the very rare purple cob from Old Dominion Cobs--truly a treat all the way around. And here's what's happened along the way to racking up 2000 posts,: first of all, I've made some good friends, some just on the forum, and others on the phone – – you've all been great, because you've made my pipe smoking journey a bit happier by enriching my store of knowledge, and often just by your comforting words. I hope I've been able to do a bit of the same for you. Many of you on this forum have given me a chuckle, have broadened the depth and breath of my knowledge of pipes and tobaccos, and have hopefully gleaned bit of information from me, garnered from my 55 years of experience in the field of pipe smoking. I've gone to pipe shows gosh – heck – – whoever knew that such things existed? And as SWMBO says, after 36 years she sees me enjoying my pipes far more than I ever did when we were first married, and a lot of that is due to you. So here's to the next 2000, shared with 10,000 of my best friends on this forum. Happy puffing to all of you!
