[QUOTE="Balisong, post: 604955, member: 3470"] I was introduced to pipe smoking when I was 4 or 5 at Jordan Marsh, a long gone department store in Boston. My mother and I were shopping in the men's department when a scent caught my attention. I followed the scent until my mother caught up with me. She told me it was the pipe that the man I was following was smoking and I could smoke one when I was old enough. In the summer of my 16th year I reminded my mother of that day and she granted her permission but I couldn't smoke cigarettes. I went to CVS and bought a Dr. Grabow and a pouch of tobacco. I smoked it like a stove and bubbled the finish. I sanded it down and continued to try different tobaccos, the cigarettes were still better. My high school TV teacher smoked a pipe so I asked what he smoked. He liked Mac Baren Virginia No. 1 and said that Peretti's in Park Square had it, I got a tin that weekend. It was much better than the drug store blends and I started my journey from there. [/QUOTE]
