So the Civil War ended on April 9th 1865, Lincoln is assassinated on April 14th 1865 and the Titanic sank on April 15th 1912. Coincidence - I think not. Also, the US entered WW1 on April 6th 1917 after the Lusitainia was sunk, on April 10th, 1945 Buchenwald was liberated, on April 12th 1861...

Where are you in Mississippi? I'm in Jackson.

Wonder if this ever got done.

Welcome. I too started when I was 18. I had a whole bunch of pipe at one time but seem to have lost them by giving them away each time I decided I wasn't going to smoke a pipe any more. Oh well. Welcome to the Bob.

Hey and Welcome! How is it that you are in Andorra? Are you from there or working there or something else? I've had a fascination with Andorra since I was a young lad because of a geography book I had that listed the 5 smallest countries in Europe. The others, at the time were: Luxembourg...

Yes I am. Great place to hang out and their blends they make on site are fantastic. How do you know of TCS?

Is he passing through Jackson, Mississippi on his way? I know of one he will definitely want to visit.

Thanks for the info. I looked them up and The Club Humidor is near where I'll be staying and near the alamo so I can check it out. Doesn't look like there is a true pipe shop like we have here in Jackson though. It'll be fun no matter what.

I might be going for a week after Christmas. Anyone know of a local pipe shop?

I really like the holidays. I don't go to stores much anyway so not going during this time of year is pretty easy for me. Yeah, I don't like that they start so early and it is a hype machine but having my daughters around and going to see family is a fun part about it. I've already made some...

[q You would happen to teach at SCIT would you? The reason I ask is you look familiar, but that was 15 years ago. Nope. I've taught at different training facilities around and now at ITT Tech. Just teach 2 nights a week though and that's enough. What is SCIT?

I'll go outside at my school and smoke my pipe and I only get positive comments or no comments at all. I teach adults at a technical college so everyone can do as they please. The "no comments" are almost always people who smoke cigarettes and don't care, and even like, that I'm smoking a...

That looked like an advertisement for a ...... something.

skaukatt, thanks for that bit of advice. I used to get discouraged when I would create an event and only a few people would attend. Then one of the attendees said to me that HE came to the event and HE didn't appreciate me focusing on who WASN'T there. After that i was glad when even one...

Did that and read the article the link went to. I've also been to several web sites including the UPCA to get some ideas. Our first meeting is next Tuesday. I'll take pictures and post with a recap. Thanks to all who responded!
