Hello. Wanted to take a moment and introduce myself. New member. Loving this forum and reading about others experiences with the pipe.

80s kid, youngest of 7 with an older dad who smoked a pipe, captain black only. He passed 2005. Took up the pipe a year or so ago because it reminded me of him and I was looking for something to help me slow down a bit.

Im a firefighter/paramedic in ohio and everything always seems like go go go, just in general with the world really.

Still trying to figure out what tobaccos I like, so far everything ahahaah. Still honing my techniques.

Married with 4 young kids. thanks for having me.

Hope this is the right place for this.

Welcome from New Jersey. puffy My situation is somewhat similar to yours, in the age category, remembering my father each time I light up and trying to slow down a bit.

its a damned cliche, but I cant tell you how fast time is moving. It really bothers me.

i was 20 when my dad died and was just on the heels of teenager jerk days. We never really had a lot of time to really “get to know each other.” So many things he did that i thought were dumb then appeal to me now-enjoying a pipe, gardening, fishing. Its strange to me, but just what I seem to need now as I feel im floating along at times.

thanks for sharing and the warm welcome!
