:lol:
I read 'em, just hate writing them. Hard to avoid it though when there is a dedicated forum.
Noob to pipes (generally) and pipe forums.
From NW Oregon - about halfway between Portland and Mt. Hood, if you're familiar with the area - out in the sticks. Early 40's, married, blah, blah.
Not to get into my previous bad habits (smoking) that are no longer practiced, I have dabbled with pipe smoking for several years. Dabbled with some crappy house blend aro from a store, get frustrated at the effort involved (I packed them waaaaaaay too tight for a long time), gave it up, lather rinse repeat. Smoked cigars exclusively for a few years - good, but that proved to be the most expensive vice I had.
Quit smoking about a year ago, and would have a pipe now and again when at a party or whatever. Figured out the packing/lighting/tongue bite deal, and started getting better aros....... found out I enjoyed it.
Anyway - somehow started watching youtube videos from some of the usual suspects, started researching pipe tobaccos, pipes, and figured I needed to find a forum for usual forum stuff.
Have half dozen briars, and as many MM's I just got to go with the 15+ tobaccos I just ordered in the last couple months.
Always was turned off by the tin note of English tobaccos (compared to "good" aros), but decided to put a tin of Mississippi River and a Frog Morton's Cellar in the orders.
The MR was surprisingly good.
But. I found myself thinking about the single bowl I had of the FM Cellar for days. :lol:
Other interests - motorsickles, good beer, good whisky.
Did a lot of looking - I am involved in a couple of motorcycle forums (one huge, one small I am an admin on), and I liked the limited rules/peer moderation policy that seems to be en vogue here.
