Well guys, I just wrote up a HELLO! post talking about myself and my Uncle who smoked a pipe, carrying it thru the Normandy invasion up till 11 years ago when he passed, but I hit the darn backwards somehow and lost it all. I ain't typing it all again. :x
I''ll sum it up, if that's ok with you guys... My Uncle Teddy was a great guy. He lived next door to us and always had his pipe with him. I have fond memories of sitting in his backyard while he smoked, talking about anything or nothing or him helping me work on my car or around the house or yard. I guess that's why I want to smoke a pipe now. He seemed so calm and comfortable and whether that had anything to do with the pipe, I don't know, but maybe it did. So I just picked up my first pipe, a Savinelli Chamgpagne 606KS estate. I posted a little writeup in the Pipe Techniques forum about its cleaning adventure. Maybe I can help a fellow newbie out the way you guys helped me when I was looking for cleaning information here. Gotta go eat now. Lunch is burning. BTW, I don't have a tobacco picked yet but I'm leaning towards a local Smoker's Haven blend called "Ave's Fave" named after the owner, Ave. We shall see. See you all on the boards.
