Heya .

I'm Phil from Devon UK.

I smoked pipes, roll ups and cigars until I hit 30.
I traded those hobbies in for PC gaming, Espresso pulling, Warhammer and whiskey.

I'm now 42 ...
I haven't smoked in 12 years, but decided last Friday after stumbling across a man on YouTube who was smoking a pipe and reading some Tolkien. That I missed the odd casual pipe, I'll have the odd cigar maybe 3 a year but piping, for want of a better word is definitely a unique thing.

So here I come. Back into obsession, emptier bank accounts, tongue bite and a beautiful smelling Study.

I sold off most of my pipes and Zippos in 2012 including my UK commissioned extended black Bing with 925 silver (wish I could remember who made it for me).

I am now down to 2 MM corn pipes and my Savanelli Tortuga and a Danish Polo.

But I did keep all my tobacco. It wasn't cellered to make money. I just couldn't part with them knowing they may improve with age.

Anyways, thank you for reading. Hopefully we'll all become great pals.

Ian Walker from Northern Briars? He’s done some nice bings.

Maybe but I think it was a guy working on his own doing small batch stuff.
