I'll go ahead and post an introduction, since I've been "lurking" for some time. I have had pipes in some form or another since the late 80s, but tend to smoke them every few months or so sporadically (I know-the horror).
I've posted pics of them in the thread about "thanks for posting" and in the pipe gallery... Every one seems to be a from a different make, but they all hold fond memories of college, purchasing them on vacation with my lovely wife, or the person I inherited them from. The Wellington is from my wife's grandfather, and he was a kind southern gentleman through and through. My father was a cigarette smoker most of his life, but I have fond memories of him with a pipe, too.
The pups in my avatar are our rescue doggies-Kitten and 'Cuda... Foster dogs we couldn't let go, so we just had to keep them.
I'll be perhaps one of the only ones to admit it. I still like the aromatics... Eeeeek!-maybe I haven't smoked enough for my palate to go for the good stuff, LOL.
Have a great day,
Dean
