Howdy, Y'all!
Name's Bear, Dallas here. I've been a pipe man since I was 11 years old. My Grampaw got me started on it back on his horse farm one summer. Mom wasn't too pleased with her ol man for that, but there was no going back!
I favor 1/2 and 3/4 bents, usually, billiard or apple. I have a few Boswells, A Bari, an old Lorenzo I've had since college, an Upshall Jumbo and a couple few no-name seconds that are damn good smokers. I used to work in the biz off and on for a number of years, but through the years have either lost or given away a bunch.
Fire up a briar and drop a howdy...No-one can have too many friends, especially brothers of the pipe.
Happy Puffin!
Bear
