Old Dog--New Tricks

[Bob Kuehner]

My wife bought me an estate pipe collection as a "decoration" for my home office. It sat there, looking awesome, for about a year before my oldest son said, "Dad, when are we gonna try those things?" Did a little research and bought some Lane Limited LQ and Captain Black and the next time he was over, we smoked a bowl, on the front porch with some Buffalo Trace bourbon. Why did I wait 'til 60 to enjoy this!? New tradition with my three boys at the Kuehner house!

Welcome aboard. The whole pipe smoking culture is full of information and lore, and after a while, many find it interesting and amusing, so it isn't work to absorb. Your wife's gift is turning into a family tradition.

I'm surprised at how few "rules" there seems to be. I guess there might be some "pipe snobs" out there, but I haven't run into any, yet.

Welcome from the Central Coast of California!

We do have a few pipe and/or tobacco snobs, and a few reverse-snobs as well, but all good men tried and true.

You can put your location in your Profile, which will save questions in the future as to where you live should you mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos of surroundings, and so forth. Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose "Account Details, which brings up "My Account". "My Location" is halfway down.

Welcome from S.W Michigan. Cool to hear you started a tradition with your boys. Anytime you can make memories with loved ones is time well spent.

Welcome Bob! Have fun Exploring! When you are ready to try English tobaccos, Buffalo Trace makes an awesome topping
