[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 549676, member: 1723"] I've said this before but here it is again: My late Pap smoked a pipe as long as I remember. Uhles 255. He was a one brand man. So when I started my journey I figured if 255 was good enough for Pap it was good enough for me. I eventually checked out many other Uhle's blends and found them much to my liking. Years later I became a member of the Seattle Pipe Club and we met at a long-gone and much lamented TB who had an amazing selection of pipe weed, much of which were open to sample. It was here that I was introduced to lat-weed in the form of Bengal Slices tins, Balkan Sobranie in the B&W pouch, and others. Started to appreciate ginny weed. Acquired some very nice pipes from that shop as this was pre-internet days, or at least it was for me. In any case this went far to furthering my journey. Another fast forward - took an 8 yr pipe hiatus while I was beguiled with the cigar thing but came back to the pipe around '08. Now surprisingly, lat was a turn-off! Vaper/straight ginny weed was the way forward. BH and I were on the same cigar oriented forum then and got to know each other. He invited me to join BoB in '11 and here I am. Big as life and twice as ugly! :face: Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
