I will be in your beautiful state for Bike Week next month. Weather sure beats the frozen tundra in March. Love smoking the pipe outdoors.

Hey everyone, I will just refer to myself as Salvince here, but I am a man living in Tavares, FL. Born and raised in my beautiful state, I grew up in a small town and still live in one today.

I am in my mid 30s and I recently returned to smoking a pipe. When I first started smoking, I bought an old small blue tugboat style with a wide vulcanite stem (I don't know the brand but it probably was a savinelli) and I also bought a few premade wood ones without finishes too, but I ended up giving them away, I couldn't find any enjoyment out of it at 18. My second time was when I bought my first corncob and sadly due to leaving it on my open porch one too many times, it rotted in the Florida humidity. And my third attempt was a Medico Pipe that had a floral pattern (dunno why it caught my eye) and I smoked that until it burned out but then gave up for 9 years. My first tobaccos were Virgina gold blends, still is, but really I'll try any blend, I'm not a picky guy.

Recently, this month I decided to get back into it and bought a very nice Boswell pipe (yes it cost money, but it was well made) and recently (ask I asked in my first discussion) a very nice corncob.
I wanted this time to be different, so this time I wanted to study pipe smoking and truly learn the appreciation behind the culture and learn to appreciate pipe smoker a little better. (I've also smoked hookahs too, but I am never getting back into that hobby)

Overall, I'm a proud American who loves his pipes and his tobacco and want to be part of the pipe smoking community.

How:
Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose "Account Details", which brings up "My Account". "My Location" is halfway down. Whatever you're comfortable with- town, city, county, state. province, etc.
