I am fairly new to pipe smoking but would like to take it up as a supplementary activity to meat smoking. Just got a pipe at an antique store in Watkinsville, GA. The man who sold it to me said he has been smoking pipe for 72 years and swears it contributes to longevity. I am interested in learning a little more about my first pipe. It is a golf style, briar pipe made in Italy. Not sure how or where to post a picture of my pipe, but would definitely be interested in hearing what people have to say about it. Glad to be here!
