Greetings,
Just wanna say hello to all; first time on a forum of any sort...not that I'm reluctant to engage in the medium, just really busy with work, school, writing, and playing guitar. I like this site among the many out there as it seems more in line with sharing information and sound guidance, advocacy or mentor-ship, vice congratulating each other on a good find, or discussing who has the most of the more sought after blends.
I've been smoking pipes for about 12 years. I transitioned from moist snuff, cigarettes, and finally to pipes with an occasional cigar...sounds like the reduction plan highlighted by John Candy in "Uncle Buck".
I'm former military, retiring after 20 years, but still in the defense line, working as a field rep for an R and D company. I live in Florida, but travel quite a bit for work. It's a pleasure to be here.
Thanks,
Archer M. Darkpint

Finally decided to join up, I've been lurking around the boards for a few weeks now, and well liked what I had seen, so here I am making my intro.
I'm a relative newbie when it comes to pipes, as I just picked up a pipe from a local B&M a few years ago. But my fascination with the briar goes back a bit. Both of my grandfathers smoked pipes, as far as their favorite blends go, my dad's father was a Half and Half man, and my mom's father was a Middleton's Cherry man.
Now it's my turn to carry on the tradition...
Now that that's out of the way, most folks call me Scott, I'm your not so average 31 year old. I dabble a bit here and there hobby wise, I'm a NWS certified storm spotter, and I'm also an amateur radio operator.
Thanks for having a place like this for everyone to congregate, seems like I found the good pipe forum.

Hey there, my name is Steve. I've been smoking cigars since I was about 16 or so and when I turned 18 bought a pipe at a tobacco shop in Boston and used it for a few months. I will admit it was more annoying than enjoyable- having to relight it, not particularly loving any of the blends I tried. I gave it up, in fact, I gave the pipe away after only a few months. 14 years later, faced with SKYROCKETING cigar prices, and both a friend who became a pipe smoker and a coworker with a great blend recommendation, I climbed back on the horse. I picked up a cheapo Savinelli University for starters and a couple ounces of that recommended blend and haven't looked back. Since then, I grabbed a Peterson System with a P lip. Looking forward to finding some new recommendations of other blends.
