Welcome to our little corner of the internet! Restoring and cleaning up old pipes can be very addictive, but very rewarding.

Yes- I’ve cleaned up the two I have - one is in much better condition- great grandpa obviously had a favorite! Hahah will be trying them out as soon as I receive my tobacco order. ?

Welcome to the forum, from Southern California. Been to SD once, in '97. Saw a fantastic lightning storm entering Spearfish from the west.

Enjoy the journey!

We certainly do get our share of summer storms!

Welcome from Washington State. Love the generational connection with your pipes. Hope you get them restored to smokeable glory! Good Luck!

Here's a bit of my standard advice for people starting out with pipe smoking. Buy tobacco in small quantities for a year or two, even if you like a blend very much, because your tastes will definitely change. An ounce or two in bulk (that comes in a baggie), or one tin, or one pouch. What you don't like, jar and try again in about a year. By then, you may like it, or at least be able to "learn" it. Have fun.

Thanks for the tip!

Not really understanding the ‘New Female’ part announcement. LOL ?

It’s the 21st century, time for the stereotypes to die people, but unfortunately they still persist, but not around here.

So don’t be concerned about your female status with a pipe, enjoy and welcome.

Cough Cough @Smoke Queen new lady in the house. Sheesh she hasn’t been around since March...

Sorry everybody I was too busy getting married and moving to Delaware! ?? but yes I'm so happy to know there's a new lady pipesmoker around here and welcome! @PipeIT I'm back.... I'll do a post shortly!
