I wanted to welcome all of the new members to the site.
Remember that the site is only as good and active as the members make it so, dive in and start discussing pipes and tobacco.
Post often and don't forget that you can make your own blog for free! Be sure to check that out!

New members, please introduce yourselves.
Tell us how long you've been smoking a pipe and what you like smoking lately.
I started smoking pipes in 1998 and lately I have been enjoying Frog Morton, Maltese Falcon, SG Bracken Flake, SG Commonwealth, Blakeney's Best Acadian Ribbon and Mac Baren HH Vintage Syrian.

Python and Kevin,

Thanks for the answers and Welcome. As I understand Balkan Sobranie is not sold anymore and Balkan Sasieni has replaced it. Sasieni really grows on you and the more I smoke it the more I like it. I smoked "Sobranie" years ago and remember it as quite strong. I have been smoking pipes off and on for 59 years. I am a retired sculptor and teacher living in Washington DC. Georgetown Tobacco in my home shop and have use them for my tobacco and supplies since the early 60's. I have developed a new interest in pipes and have began to carve my own. More on that later as the process develops.

I also have a question for python. As a Moderator you will have noticed that I filled in a profile which includes my picture. It does not show up on the forum page and I would like it to do so. What do I have to do to make that happen?
Thanks in advance for your help and interest. Tom

Welcome Marc. I have heard other people say the same thing, that they like cigars during the warm months and smoke pipes during the colder months.
I love Frog Morton. but I have tried "Across the Pond" yet.
