I like what I like. So not a snob about the pipe I smoke. Mainly estate pipes from the sixties to the seventies. I will shop until I drop. Quality is my goal but I have patience like none other. I take others advise with a dash of salt. A little history. I am over-educated. Have intermittent social anxiety. Will trust my two dogs over almost all other fellow humans. I am a bundle of contradictions wrapped in conflicting ideas. Sci-fi fan. Symbolic interactionist if you know psychology/ sociology. Big picture while looking at the brushstrokes.
