Hello. I am 57 years old and decided to try it. My father smoked pipes for 50 years (18-70). He is still alive today (90) and is healthy other than a bad knee/back. We made him quit at 70 because my mom had heart failure. I had mild asthma as a child and was into sports so in 1980 he only smoked outside. Needless to say i now feel guilty for taking one of his passions away. I want to connect with him better and want to understand the pipe. I plan to visit him in Spring and want to take pipes and a really great tobacco an see if he want to smoke with me.

Thank You and interesting the first person to welcome me is from Italy. I am in Texas (US) but my wife’s family (mom side) is from Trieste. Our retirement gift to ourselves or before we turn 65 is to visit.
Welcome!
Please put your location in your Profile, as people are forgetful.
Why:
That will save questions in the future as to where you live when you later mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos, wildfires, air quality, etc. In many instances that saves time for those who read your posts. It cuts down on posts or PMs asking where you are.
How:
Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose "Account Details", which brings up "My Account". "My Location" is halfway down. Whatever you're comfortable with- town, city, county, state. province, etc.
Wow another interesting welcome. Your the 2nd to welcome me and from Virginia. My father was from the BlueRidge Mt area west of Buchanan. The town used to be called Buffalo but was changed. Beautiful country and I lived every visit as a child.
