Buckley.. Feel free to share which beer you're sipping with which tobacco. I love my porter, abbeys and double bocks with a good pipe ! MacBaren Vanilla Cream in my Butz Choquin with a Breckenridge Vanilla Porter by my fire pit..... Highly recommended !

Hello all... Just wanted to introduce myself. Looks like a great site for sure.

I enjoy a few things in life, not the least of which is a good bowl of fine smoke from a good pipe, coupled with a fine bourbon or Scotch at the end of the day. A good beer will work too, . So, good to find a place with people of like mind.

See u in the boards !

Hi all, Been smoking pipes for a couple of years and really enjoy the hobby. Curtrently on a VA kick and that seems to sail boat right now. Currently on another forum, and recognize a few friends from there. Anyhow, glad to see you all, hapy smoking!

Evening all,
Just joined to seek out information after a dear friend of mine recommended the site.
Been casually smoking pipes (more like a pipe) for about a year and looking to establish a collection slowly and learn more about it.
Cheers,
Paul.

Evening, my name is Chris,in canton tx. have only smoked for a month or so now, but i've been curious for years. I have/had several uncles that smoke pipe, but the thing that has always intrigued me was a beautiful "hand carved" pipe my father got in Germany, where he was stationed after he served in Korea. I'm in construction, have been for 17 years or so, love duck hunting, golf, anything rodeo (as in livestock, not shopping), watching my 3 kids play sports, & plenty of other stuff. Had bad experiences in a couple other, non smoking, forums that left a sour taste, but thought i'd give a try here. At any rate, I look forward to learning!

Hi All - Jason here from central Wisconsin, brand new to pipes and pipe smoking. I've smoked cigars in the past but not frequently. I'm looking forward to learning and growing (as well as smoking) with my first pipe - Savinelli: Caramella Rusticated (606 KS)(6mm). I looked everywhere for an estate version of the pipe but could not find one so I will be breaking her in brand new. What I looking forward to the most is having the concentrated time to just sit back, relax and enjoy the outdoors. I'm a computer programmer so I need more fresh air and time to just sit and reflect. I can't think of a better way to do that than with a nice pipe, good tobacco and good weather. Thanks to all who have spent hours posting and sharing their information to help noobs like me.

Hi all. My name is Diston from Illinois, right across the river from St. Louis. Been a pipe smoker on and off for around 25 years or so. Have a collection of around 20 pipes, mostly Aldo Velani's and a handful of Meers. Still have the first two pipes I ever bought that are Jost's brand. I lurked in the background here, checking out the forums for a bit before joining. I have found the posts here to be friendlier than on some of the other boards I have seen, which is what caused me to join. I will get some pic up in a short while. Look forward to my time here.

I am "Moon" Mullins and have been smoking pipes for over 50 years. I'm 72. As my profile says, I began in 1957 with a Kaywoodie Billiard and a pack of "Amphora" tobacco. I retired from the US Air Force after 22yrs and then spent 18yrs as a Professor of Economics. During my USAF career I spent 64-67' in England where I learned what pipe smoking was all about. At that time some of the best tobacconists in the world were in England and Ireland and i bought Comoys, Dunhills, GBDs, and Petersons, but over the years I misplaced many of them due to moves. I haven't had a new pipe in years. I buy and smoke "estate" pipes because I like the old ones the best.I don't like "flavored" tobacco and even though I try new stuff from time to time, I go back to Sir Walter Raleigh. Nuf said for now.
