Just hit 29 here and enjoyed my first bowl almost 3 years ago. Looking forward to lots of tobacco smoldering in my days. I've been told that I have an old soul, but I like to think I'm just ahead of the game for my age...

Active duty Navy IT1(SW) since June, 14th 2001 plan on serving until...well I plan on serving until further notice! Currently serving in Groton, CT but have done time in a number of different places/countries/oceans. Some more dangerous than others. Huge Salute to those who have gone both...

I don't know why but I enjoy looking at old pictures, and more especially old pictures of people enjoying their beloved pipes. Come to find out Google has an entire archive of photos from Life magazine dating back to the 1860s. They have millions of pictures, most of which never reached the...

Looks like I may have to get some of this. Won't be my first, though quite close, but I'm quite sure a tolerable tobacco will only help my technique. Then again I guess if it is too tolerable then one may develop bad habits/technique. Maybe I need something that will sear my tongue when I get...

I've never posted pictures before so I hope it works. I thought you guys here might be able to appreciate these pictures I took while on leave in Wisconsin. These were taken at the Lake Superior Marine Museum in Duluth, MN. We were up there visiting my grandmother and decided to stop in the...

I'm not entirely sure where you are at in VA but if you're feeling like a drive you could always come up to J.M. Boswell's in Chambersburg, PA. Its right off highway 81 which goes straight through VA into PA. Great group of guys up there and in my limited experience they make some damn fine...

This made me want to try to get out of my shore duty early and get back on a ship. Proud(er) to be in the Navy this past few weeks. *Anchors Aweigh my boys....*

Well it is finally time that I join the brotherhood. With any luck tomorrow I will be making a trip to Boswell's pipes to purchase my first briar pipe. Been working on a corncob for a while now and finally have the spare coin to buy a nice pipe. I lived in Chambersburg, PA about 3 miles from...

Well I've wanted to get into smoking pipes for a while now and this last week I decided to jump in. I was looking at pipes online and I noticed that the name Boswell's seemed familiar. As it were, I moved to Chambersburg, PA about a year and a half ago and just never got the chance to stop in...
