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
