New Member intro.

[brianw59]

Hello,
My name is Brian. I Live in the western suburbs of Chicago. Messed around with pipes for several years off and on and made a ton of rookie mistakes which is why I put the pipes away. Now recently retired I can dive back in and start over. I have 1 Barontini bent briar, 1 Meerschaum, and 1 Missouri Meerschaum corn cob. I like MacBaren and Early Pipe tobacco. Can't wait for the weather to change. I hate winter. That's it for now.

Hi,
Pardon the amateur attempt at photography, but here they are. You might notice the charred rim of the briar. One of the rookie mistakes
