Hello everyone.

I wanted to take a minute to say I am looking forward to meeting everyone. I am new to forums, so this is a bit of unfamiliar territory to me. I have been smoking a pipe for a while now and have a lot to say and a whole lot more to learn.
If you have any questions for me, don't hesitate to ask.
Cheers,

Jay

Welcome Jimmy! There seems to have been a large number of new members from the other side of the Atlantic lately. Looking forward to hearing about the experience across the pond... across the pond... say, that rings a bell. Gotta go get a tin of FMATP. That Pavlov guy was really on to something, wasn't he?

Hello Everyone,

I'm a new member from across the pond as well :)

I bought my first pipe a few months ago, a Ratos "Tati" with a fairly small bowl and a conical bore as I'm a casual smoker, I only smoke a bowl or two a day in the evening. The tobacco I have so far enjoyed the most is Rattaray's "Marlin Flake", sweet aged virginia with a smell of dried fruits that makes my mouth waters and tastes marvelous as I light up.
Today I scored a couple of estate pipes on e-bay and ordered some new cans of tobacco as well.
See you around!

Hi - I started with pipes when I was 16, my father smoked pipes. I got my first pipe then, which I still enjoy. I had a friend in high school, North Hollywood High. His grandfather had a small sailboat in Marina del Rey. We used to leave NH right after school on Wednesdays and ride to MdR on a Honda 50. We would get on the boat and sail thru the night. Smoking our pipes. I started with Troost and have continued with that, in addition to others. Back then, 65, a 100gr tin of Troost slices was about $3... Hhmmm. Anyway, we would get back to NHHS in time for school on Thursday, just in time for band practice. So pipe smoking has always had a nautical, outdoors feeling for me. I stopped smoking in about 70 and only started up about 3 years ago. My wife and I were watching and old British film and the main character was a pipe smoker. I took out my pipe from back then and "pretend smoked." One thing lead to another and here I am! My mother died when I was 15 and my father remarried, the true rotten step mother thing. The one thing I got when he passed was a pre-WW II calabash, a great smoke - a deep brown from years of use!Now I have 7 pipes and I enjoy collecting "vintage unopened{ tins - and smoking the contents. I also enjoy storing my contemporary tobaccos in vintage, painted tins. A sense of history.... I am a composer and pipe smoking has become an important part of my composing for film, tv and cds. I'm glad I found this group and now I'm going to explore the forums...

PS - A friend who lives in Germany visited last year. He was kind enough to buy me 4 tins of Troost slices, which are all over the Netherlands. They are WAY better than the Troost pouch that you can buy here, why in the world don't they sell Troost slices here anymore!?

Hello All
Started smoking a pipe about three years ago, bought a J. Rinaldi as my first. Very pleased with his work. Currently waiting for a reverse rusticated volcano by Old Nellie Pipes.
Will attend my first pipe show in Chicago in May.
