Hey CB Pipers, Bama Guitar Dude (aka Mark) here in Alabama... Have been socializing with Cool Breeze via YouTube & he's mentioned this forum several times, so I thought I'd join up today & meet/greet all of you... As you can probably already tell by the ID, I'm a guitar player from way back; started learning in 1987 & still pick today; started a home studio & do recordings of original material from time to time...
I got mildly into cigar smoking about a year or so ago (bought a cheap $20 humidor & some cheap sticks)... I smoked a pipe back in the late 80's but gave it up after college... Back in March, I was cleaning out some stuff & found my 2 original Grabow's & got back into pipe smoking full force shortly thereafter... Now, I'm building up my tobacco cellar as we speak, trying out new samples from pipers I've met so far, and have also begun to find & restore estate pipes that need a little helping hand... This hobby has been really fun to get back into; my oh my has it changed since the 80's!! :)
I look forward to engaging with you guys on this forum; may we all partake of many puffs in the future!
Take care,
BGD

Welcome. We can always use another piper to bolster our numbers. Pipers seem to be a minority these days.

Thx everybody!
Haeber - I'm mostly an aromatic smoker (1-Q most of the time), but I'm experimenting w/latakia blends some, as well (Miss River is my fave among the bunch)...

Well yes, they do if you find a good one. I just find I dislike 99% of them. I can't do CB or 1Q but the ones from Dan and Drew Estate are pretty tasty.

I hear ya, man; it's all good... I find it interesting that some English blend'ers move back to aro's, and vice versa... It's all a journey; just hoping the deg'gum FDA doesn't shut a lot of our fave blends down!!!

Well since we necroposted this thread back open, congrats to Alabama on 10-0. Looks like you won't have UM to worry about after this week :(
BamaGuitarDude, you might try mixing some straight Latakia with your 1-Q - it really livens up the blend.
