Hey from North Carolina. I had an "Asian tour" with the U.S. Navy, but didn't get to Japan. Some of the guys I served with, in our twenties, had been stationed in Japan and loved it. My current pastor is married to a Japanese woman he met there and wants to go back to retire. My Asian travels included coastal Vietnam during the war, Subic Bay Philippines where we were provisioned and supported, Taiwan, and Hong Kong which was pretty fabulous. Your experience serves as a reminder to us all; if you quit pipes, keep a rotation of pipes and a few blends; a lot of us quit and return over the years, sometimes several times. By luck, I have the first pipe I ever bought, a Tinder Box St. Ives house pipe, probably French made, still handsome and smoking well.
Welcome. I visited Japan a couple of years ago and was impressed with the pride in craftsmanship of the Japanese. The attention to detail is astounding. Because of this, my first pipe purchase was a Tsuge, and it is still my favorite. I would love a blowfish, but cannot afford one right now…. Unless my lottery plan works out.
I would love to hear more about the auction pipes you are finding.

Welcome from Switzerland by way of Greece and the UK. Never been to Japan, it’s for sure the #1 Asian country I’d want to visit.
I hear ya brother. I'm 55 and have a six years old son and a teenage daughter. It's very tiring at end of the day but it's his smile that keeps me sane while dealing with this crazy world we live in these days.
It really is a great life although I probably do too much of the worrying about everything and everyone - family-wise. I guess you don’t know what real worrying is until you have kids. Smoking a nice pipe at the end of the day helps with that though.
