Ten Years Later...Looking For Folks from the old PSF

[Jacksarge]

G'day from Tasmania. I'm not introducing myself because I can see the intro section was deleted
I'm hoping to find some of the old guys I used chat with from the old Pipe Smokers Forum. I've been away a long time.
I remember buying pipes from guys on there back in 2014, one of the guys in the US even made me a custom pipe - Norm Triptow - is he still with us? Plus I had some great trades with SillyOldBear and other folks from Oz. I can recognise some familiar names on here.
My pipe smoking has still been going on, but drastically reduced. My last order was from 4noggins back in 2014. I've been making my way slowly through my remaining jars over the last decade. Any of you blokes around from those days of the Pipe Smokers Forum?

Yes indeed! If you check it out you will probably recognize many user names.

You wanna know something funny? Back in 2012 when I started smoking a pipe, I attempted to join up at pipesmokersforum.com. It was the only forum I knew of at the time.

For some reason, it never worked. My info never went through to the site, or there was a glitch or it jist wasnt meant to be. I waited for a few weeks and nothing.

So then in a desperate search of a pipe forum, I discovered Pipesmagazine.com. I never looked back after joining here, and it became my hangout spot.

I don't have time for multiple pipe forums lol.

And well the rest speaks for itself.

Thanks very much. I might just do that. I'm based up on the NW Coast, I'm guessing you might be in the South?

I was a member there for many years. Most of my pipe collection and tobacco cellar is from those days.
After 7 years off the pipe, I found this place. There are a few names I recognize here. I had a different screen name back then.

There’s a good number of in common membership I think.

I am unable to help you in your quest to find old friends, but I hope that you are able to be reunited.

I'm terribly sorry to hear that your pipe smoking has been reduced.

Reduced pipe smoking is heavily influenced by the price of tobacco in Australia, and the prohibitive expense of buying from overseas. I just have to ration out what I have left
I'm really happy that I've met VDL Piper on this forum actually - he even lives not too far away.
