Rich Rachlin here in Stony Point NY. Found this group last night & joined ASAP. I'm 64 & been a smoker since 18. Still have my first pipe, a $10 meer, bought when I went away to flunk out of my first college. I'm about to finish my second MA, tho, so the pipe has been more good luck than not.
I'm downing a bowl of McC's Arcadia right now, but tend toward fuller Eng/Balkans with breaks for nice sweet Va/VaPer/flakes. Modest collection of about 50 pipes acquired over 40 years includes briars, meers, calabashes, & clays.
My cellar is at http://tobaccocellar.org/tinlist.php?cellar=668, but needs a couple of additions as I have bought some of the new McC Orientals & opened a few tins recently.
Nice to be a part of this community.
