Good morning gentlemen (and ladies if any are present).
I'm a contributor over at SF and Gray Fox, and a pipe smoker for the last 8 years. I'm 53 years old, with my wife for a total of 38 years (32 married) and have 2 lovely kids, one of each, and one of whom has recently joined the brotherhood at age 24. So far he's had 3 of my best smokers. My daughter (22) is unlikely to join us.
I have no idea yet who is a member here, but it's possible some of you may have seen me before. If so, hello old friends.
I live in the South West of England, in the South Cotswolds, and was originally encouraged to smoke a pipe by my doctor (yes, you heard right), who thought it might help with my stress-related back pain. It didn't, because the pain turned out to be a congenital heart defect, but ho hum...
I favour English blends, with the singular exception of Butternut Burley, and I'm a massive FMotT fan. I currently own about 50 pipes, only one of which is a Dunhill, a few Petes, Barlings, Brighams, 1 beautiful Ronny Thuner, Brebbia, Hardcastle, Carrington, Bjarne, W O Larson, the list goes on.
I look forward very much to contributing here, and reading some more of the excellent posts.
Cheers
RD
