[QUOTE="Ranger107, post: 560153, member: 4357"] Like others on here I started smoking a pipe in college in the early 70's. There was a great little pipe shop in campus town and I bought several pipes from there, Savs, Comoys, GBD, BBB, and a couple of Sasienis. Started with bulk blends, moved on to tins, mostly McBarens, some Rattrays, but my everyday smoke was BSOSM for most of my college years. When I moved away tried a lot of drugstore stuff, amphora, sail, etc. Gave up the pipe for a few years then picked it up again in 2001 when I moved to Little Rock and found a neat little pipe shop there by the university. The first flake I remember trying was McC Dark Star. One of the gents there gave me some and also coached me on how to smoke it. He was a fold and stuff guy. Tried a few others like Blackwoods Flake but didn't take hold back then. After I joined BoB last year you guys got me interested in trying some flakes. Have had PS LNF, McB navy flake and recently ODF. On a trek to try others but have to smoke down some of my stash as I'm running out of room in my baccy cupboard. Have a couple of tins of Escudo that I haven't opened yet so those may be next. I'm way behind you guys but I will get there in time if I live that long, lol. [/QUOTE]
