New Guy

[treitz]

Hey all - new to the site, not new to pipes. Have been smoking pipe for over 10 years, more frequently the last 5 years or so. I work on old motorcycles and cars in my free time, which is typically when I will enjoy a pipe or two. I live in a small town without a tobacco shop, so I mostly order online and enjoy English blends. I have a few pipes that rotate.
Anyway, just here to say hi and to learn.

Welcome, treitz. Lots of good info, history, discussion and opinion here. Some experts on particular pipe brands, restoration, and repairs.

Welcome, what cars and bikes? I just restored 1970 Karman Ghia. Before that, a 1946 MB jeep, flat head.

Hey TroutTimes - I cut my teeth working on vintage Japanese motorcycles. Since then I've moved on to VW's (currently an 87 Vanagon). Really just love working on anything with my hands.
