Hello all.
Started smoking pipes in the late '60s. After college, like many, drifted away. Saved my somewhat meager collection of various Savs, Petersons,
and few Dunhills, sure am glad I did. Been spending some time and effort in cleaning and conditioning after lurking here for awhile mainly to
get some ideas on the hows and whys of restoration.
Spent many an afternoon back then at Iwan Ries. Spent two years of college at Loyola, the downtown campus, so it was just a short walk over.
Those certainly are great memories, and I can't wait to get the time to get over there again, bet it hasn't changed all that much.
I'm from a close in Chicago suburb, have owned various retail business locations since 1975, and getting ready to slow down and make some
serious lifestyle changes.
Joining all you fine gentlemen here should be an enjoyable experience. I hope to learn a lot, thanks for having me.
