[QUOTE="Terry292, post: 158444, member: 674"] I got my first pipe in 1966, too. I was 14. My father had caught me smoking cigarettes a month or so before and had given me a good hiding. But, when I unwrapped one of my gifts at Christmas that year, there in a box was a bent Dr Grabow Duke and a flip-top can of Sir Walter Raleigh tobacco. Dad told me if I was going to smoke (and he knew I'd keep it up), then I should smoke a pipe. In retrospect, that was pretty wise of him, and he'd stopped smoking anything years ago. I knew nothing about pipes, so the first few years were a steep learning curve for me. I knew a few old men who smoked pipes, but they also smoked RYO cigarettes made with the same tobacco the put in their pipes. They really didn't know any more than I. But, little by little, I learned and almost 45 years later, I'm still 'carrying that hod.' [/QUOTE]
