Finally made it out of the Puff wreck. I'm Rick from South Africa aka Bleskop, which is the Afrikaans language word for bold head. My last topic posted on the previous forum was "I envy you guys abroad". As some of you know I'm still new to pipe smoking but a lot happened in these few days of silence between forum jumping. I got my hands on a few tins and even a new pipe. It is nice to see some familiar faces again. My compliments to the person/s who started this forum as I was a bit lost without the chit chat with people who share the same passion.
