    Hello from South Carolina!

    Hello everyone! I look forward to discussing and learning much about pipes on this forum. Since childhood I have long admired my father's large pipe collection and his passion and knowledge about the subject (I think he's at 700 pipes, though I'm sure there are those here who could rival that...
