Hello. Retired squid (crypto weenie/SIGINT warrior), former correctional and community supervision officer, current psych tech at the Tarrant County Jail, and therapist in training at Texas Wesleyan University (Fort Worth, TX - class of 2016).
I've come across this forum a couple of times while looking for tobacco reviews, and figured I'd finally join. I've been a pipe smoker since 1979. I prefer good old VaBur and VA flake blends, but I've never met a blend I actually dislike except for Paladin and Spinaker (both of which are surely the stuff scraped from Satan's diapers). Love me some Petes, but my Falcons, Dr G's, and MM cobs are some pretty good smokers.

My name is Rob and I'm brand new here. Currently still active duty Air Force (aircraft electrician)....serving out my last year (8 total) in New Mexico and then moving back to Pennsylvania where my wife and I are originally from. Have been enjoying the finer things in life (pipe smoking) for about 4-5 years now) since I picked up my first pipe in Germany. Looking forward to getting to know the community.
Hello,
I looked at the file of famous pipe smokers. Two I would like to see are the actor, Edward G. Robinson,http://cinemania.es/especiales/20-actores-legendarios-que-nunca-ganar...
and the flutist, Marcel Moyse.
Sorry, I'm too lazy to go through the instructions for posting photos.
Anyway, I love to smoke a few of my twenty-something pipes, but less than once a week. I find that I enjoy smoking more if I don't do it more than that. I read somewhere that it takes about four days for nicotine to get out of the body.
Best wishes,
Me.

Greetings All,
I got my first pipe when I was in seminary. My grandfather passed and one of the keepsakes I received was an old Dr. Grabow. Anyway, that opened the door and now, some 5 years later, I've had a few different pipes that I have really enjoyed and just graduated to a Peterson Ashford.
Here's to learning more and meeting new people.

Hello,
New to pipe smoking, I'm happy to be part of this online community to have a group of peers to exchange information, thoughts, and reviews of pipes and pipe tobacco.
As part of my inaugural post I'd like to mention that there are some unfinished Savinellis available on ebay at the moment with a few 320's in the mix. Search for 'Savinelli Grezza'. I just purchased a nice bent dublin and look forward to breaking it in.

Greetings all,
Living in the Pacific Northwest new to pipe smoking and online forums. As a mater of fact I've only seen one other pipe smoker "out in the wild" I guess you can say. When I say "out in the wild" I mean not at a tobacco shop or casino. That was at a convenience store at three in the morning. I've enjoyed the podcasts, videos and online discussions and look forward to getting to know more of you. -Cheers

Hey, I'm David and I'm shy...Not really...I'm 58 living in NE OK. I have acquired quite a few pipes over the last 2 months that I've been hittin' the pipe. Mainly run of the mill smokers. I sold off an estate of around 50 pipes including some Dunny Shells and such to fund my new found hobby. I also have been smoking cigars for around 20 years....
Hi,
I am new here been smoking pipes for around 3 years or so.
I'm a young pipe smoker but I sure to enjoy the relaxation you get and the experience is different every time.
I have a lot to thank every one for on here as I have learnt a lot from this website/forum reading and putting it into practice.
Once again thank you very much.

Hi,
I joined the forum a few days ago. I used to smoke pipe years back and now I am back in business. I still smoke cigars while playing golf, which is my main pastime.

Greetings brothers & sisters of the briar! Esteemed Artisan Pipe-Makers, Learned Collectors of fine smoking instruments, Divinely inspired Tobacconist & Blenders ...lowly fellow newbies.
I am here for ANSWERS! The questions are irrelevant. I wish to snatch the pebble from the master before he can close his hand. To hear the grasshopper at my feet. I seek the path to enlightenment, a rad Lars Ivarsson pipe, the joy of a good, full-blown aromatic English blend that wont bite my tongue off. And most importantly to be the first kid on my block with a Joe Case pipe that looks like a fist exploding from my beard.
Since you asked, I would say I am a cross between (pre-cocaine) John Belushi, Chuck Norris's emotionally suspect cousin, and remember that guy on the TV show Night Court? The one that does magic tricks and dresses like he's from the 40's? Yeah, I'm nothing like that guy.
I want to take this opportunity to put the rumor to rest that I was born in a manger in Bethlehem. Actually, I was born in the Bronx. Many, many, many people would agree that my greatest strength is my humility. I would confess that my greatest weakness other than kryptonite; is that sometimes I can be a little bit too...awesome.
In conclusion, I am here to learn and share in the manly tradition of the briar. I hope that you'll allow me to tap into that wellspring of precious insight that can only be acquired by learned experience and angry, self-righteous maturity. While we're here I hope we can share some laughs along the way and If were not careful we just might learn something.
Let the panic commence,
FELONIOUS MONK

Greetings all,
Been lurking here for a couple of months, figured I would get in on the action and sign up! My name is Jeremy and I'm located in central Alabama. Smoked cigs for a while and quit, started smoking a pipe a couple years ago and found that I really enjoy it. I have already picked up a lot of knowledge from this forum. I am looking forward to learning more and joining in on some of the discussions.

Hi everyone, I'm Dan. I'm from Northern California, and have only been smoking a pipe for a few months. So far, I seem to be gravitating towards Latakia Blends (Balkans) with the occasional VA flake. So far, all of my pipes are straights, but I wouldn't mind trying some bents, just to see if I can get comfortable clenching a bit more. There's a lot of great information on these forums, and I've learned a lot!
Hey everyone, my name is Jared and I am a first time pipe smoker. I haven't had a smoke 15+ years but decided I wanted to indulge on my longing to start pipe smoking. My first pipe that I just very recently purchased is a Dunhill's Harcourt hand carved Danish Freehand Pipe. I found myself attracted to the design of the freehand and Preben Holm designed pipes. I am really looking forward to trying the many fine tobacco flavors out there and learning the art of smoking a pipe. I am sure I will have lots of questions and I really look forward to socializing with you all!
Cheers,
Jared

Good day all,
I'm back to smoking a pipe after a 25 year hiatus. I used to smoke (inside) when I lived in Richmond before my kids were born. I've started up again now that one of my sons has expressed an interest. He got a Peterson as a gift from a buddy, and I bougth him a few tins for Christmas. We're in Scottsdale, so its almost always nice weather for smoking outside. I'm up to 3 new pipes, and my son and I are sampling different blends together. Lots of fun and bonding opportunities!

Hey everybody!
My name is Keith, and I am a college student at A&M university. I just recently picked up pipe smoking a few months ago, and I am trying to learn as much as I can!
Thanks,

Hi all!
My name is Mark. 32. NOLA. Husband and father. I guess that's all that's necessary right? :D
Bank teller, PS4 and PC gamer, occasional cigar smoker, and newly christened pipe smoker. I picked up a Nording pipe in 2012, smoked it once or twice, sucked at it, and quit for almost 4 years. I got tired of wasting cigars more recently, so in an interest in saving a bit of moolah, I put a more serious effort into pipes at the tail end of 2015. And here I am! Trying lots of different tobaccos, joined the local New Orleans Pipe Club, and reading as much as I can. The time investment is really paying off because I don't suck anymore. I'm not good, but I'm not bad either. "A" for effort, right?

Hello everyone and thanks for having me. I appear to know quite a few folks from other forums and joined as a result of having so many links to this site offering some pretty engaging discussion. I am in my fifth year of smoking and have amassed a lot of pipes and tobaccos in my journey. A fun journey I may add. I like alot of different blends favoring DFK, Virginia, burley and perique. I review at tr under my name tallpuffo'burley. The name is in reference to my size. I am 6'9" tall and about 270 pounds. Anyway, I am looking forward to getting to know you guys.
