New Member, New Pipe Smoker From US/EU

[capinkyky]

Hello all!

I recently acquired my grandfather's unused pipe (sitting in a box since 1981) and am trying to learn as much as I can about it before I begin my pipe smoking journey.

Thank you all in advance for your advice!

Welcome from the Central Coast of California! Pull up a chair/stool/barrel and sit a while for a smoke and a chat.

You can put your location in your Profile, which will save questions in the future as to where you live should you mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos of surroundings, and so forth.

I love to hear these stories!
I wish I could go back in time and talk pipes with my maternal grandfather.

Welcome from Ontario Canada! Do you have any pictures of this pipe?

If it has been sitting in a box since 1981, it could have been in there for my whole life.

Thank you all for the warm welcome! For those curious about the pipe in question, here's a link to the threat where I posted the details and the photos! The pipe has been in that box since before I was born--I'm keeping the receipt just to remind me how much history is behind it.
