New old pipe smoker

[adui]

Good morning from sunny Arizona!
I smoked a pipe for a few years in the 90's then put it down for a while. I've recently returned to the hobby (if it can be called that?). So, because of that consider me a brand new pipe enthusiast! (learning all over again)

Welcome from Arizona as well. There are a couple of Pipe Clubs in the Phoenix area you might want to look at. You can PM me for details.

Welcome aboard from central N.C. I have a cousin in Arizona, and ancient family connections to the writer James Williard Schultz whose hunting cabin is preserved as an historical site in Greer, AZ. He was often centered in Montana, but had to clear out for disagreements with the authorities. Later he went back and helped name some of the mountains in Glacier National Park. My great aunt (grandpa's sister) was his second of three wives. A somewhat wild customer. He grew up in adolescence with the Blackfoot.

From one newbie to another, welcome to the forum from Australia.
And welcome back to the fraternity. Pipes are a great hobby.

Welcome from California!
Pipes can be a hobby for you, and also not for others. It's a choice as to whether you think it's a hobby, how you define a hobby, and how high or low the bar is.
