These days there are online communities for everything, it seems. I first started smoking a pipe about 40 years ago, but slowed down and stopped completely about 20 years ago. I never smoked much, and never smoked anything else. These days I enjoy a small glass of Scotch once a week and thought perhaps a nice bowl would go well with it. I live by myself, so I don’t have to get permission. Odd that I’ve never been an addictive type of person. I can just stop anytime. My first pipe as a university student was a nice GBD, which I no longer have. Next was a Savinelli. Loved it, but it eventually needed a new stem, which I could never find. I think I disposed of it eventually a couple of years ago when I moved out of my wife’s house. Time to build a small collection. Some great information here.
