Hello all,
Pleased to be joining you here. I've been smoking/collecting pipes on and off for about 12 years - I just came off of a multi-year dry spell. So it's fun to be getting back up to speed again.
I also like to restore the pipes I can - my skills are getting better, but I still won't try stem replacements. I do enjoy poking around in flea markets an garage sales for saveable pipes.
I've been buying quite a bit lately - making up for last time, I guess. Over the past couple of days, I bought my first Tsuge, a Charles Hester, and an Arminelli. That last one needs a new stem.
Looking forward to wandering around here!
Thanks,
Jim D.
