After the generous bomb and nudge down the slope from @Lynn I figured I should introduce myself on this side of the fence. Been smoking cigars for a little over a year now the pipe side always interested me just wasn't ready to take the plunge. Guess that doesn't matter now since Lynn sent me a cob and few samples of tobacco. I haven't tried it yet cuz I'm not quite sure what to do, but I'm trying to figure it out now. I've lurked on this side a bit and love the restores and DIY stuff, I can see myself getting into that, looking forward to figuring this thing out and getting know some of you don't post on the cigar side.
