I started with pipes this week last year. It was been quite a learning experience, but I'm so happy I started. Cigars are nice, but I really love pipe smoking and all that goes with it (ok maybe not the oropharyngeal cancer risks). Thanks to all of those who have helped, or to those who have learned with me and shared.
here's to another great year of piping
ps, can't wait for it to cool down, nothing like a nice pipe on a cool fall evening
