[QUOTE="Bud Savoie01, post: 604974, member: 6016"] I bought my first pipe in early September 1961 as I entered my freshman year of college. For one dollar I received a briar pipe, a pouch of Sir Walter Raleigh, and a booklet by the same company on how to smoke, care for, and clean a pipe. In spite of the informative booklet, I must have made every mistake a fledgling pipester could make. Very many of my classmates also bought pipes, since those were the days when pipe smoking was considered "collegiate." I don't know whether the same picture is still in the minds of today's collegians. At any rate, by the time of graduation, I was one of the comparative few who had managed to master [?] the art and was still at it. During my Vietnam stint, my tobacconist used to; send me two pounds of tobacco at a time. [/QUOTE]
