Welcome to the forum.
It's always great to see someone come to, or return to pipe smoking. There are a lot of good folks, and knowledgeable people on here, and the conversation is fun and friendly.
Welcome back. I also took a break for a few years and because of this site, I am enjoying my pipes like I never did in the past. Just be prepared to open your wallet, we are a bunch of enablers here.
Welcome! Glad to have you back in our community once again. You will find that this website contains all of the information that you need to get back into the game, plus some! Hope to see you around the forums. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask them, but try to use the search function first.... Some people might heckle ya about not using it, but sshhhh keep that between me and you ;p
With all of that being said, I hope you enjoy your stay here at the Pipes Magazine Forum!

P.S. Dont forget to check out the radio show! New episode each Thursday evening, hosted by Brian Levine!
Great to have a new member, pumpy. This is a fabulous site with endless amount of pipe info.
Yes you will most likely overspend your budget, but if you used to smoke cigars in the past, straight pipe tobacco is way less money
Of course, there are the pipes to consider...
