I've been "virtual friends" with Mark for a while now, and have had several chats, calls, trades, etc with him over the past few years. I was finally able to meet him in person yesterday, at Riegel's Pipe & Tobacco in Ft. Wayne. Had a great day, enjoying tobacco, shooting the bull, and just laughing my arse off. Thanks for a great day, Mark! Looking forward to the next get together!
Thanks to @Hoosierpipeguy!

Thanks to me? Mike showed up to our meet with the gift box shown below. The man is crazy. LOL. To say Mike is a character might be the understatement of the year. Tons of laughs yesterday, I look forward to our next meet.
Mark, you've been a mentor to me on all things pipe/pipe tobacco. That "gift" was just a thank you for all of the knowledge and generosity that you've shown me over these past years. You're the one that infected me with TAD and PAD. LOL
Anyone out there who thinks they need mentoring and believes they are generous as Mike, please contact me promptly. LOL That's very kind Mike, thank you. Sorry about the TAD and PAD but it comes with the territory.
Looks like a nice first date!
The generosity on this forum is always great to see
