I’ve been lurking on the site for a while, taking in all the great info I can. Finally decided to Join. Been smoking pipes for a day now (PS B&B in a MM Cobbit, Shire pipe…enjoyed the ritual thoroughly) but have been looking into it for a while. Figured I’m old enough to deserve a vice or two and smoking a pipe has always appealed to me. Probably the same motivation as many here: grandfather smoked a pipe, father smoked a pipe, and Bilbo and Gandalf smoked a pipe. Enough said…
Looking forward to learning more. Thanks!
