    Welcome all new members!

    "United States"

    As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake.

    Hello My Name is Lance Dahl I am a fire Fighter in Washington St. Have been a cigar smoker since well before the JR bb days and a pipe smoker for longer than that. I have been a reader here for only a short while and the Brothers of the Briar BB for a little longer. I have read and posted on the ASP for many years but not regularly as raising kids and two busy jobs have taken up much of my time. I look forward to reading and posting here some and learning more. I have a Small collection of about 30 pipes, 8 by Mark Tinsky, I really like his Black & Tans, a couple by his old partner Curt Rollar. 5 Petersons, 3 Stanwells, two Castleford bent Bulldogs, 4-5 meerschaums, a Bosi cutty, 2 Kirstens and 6-7 misc yard pipes, and probably a few I have forgot about. Yea like the 2 Nording hunting pipes!!

    Smoking now at the FireHouse McClelland Dark Star from 1997 in a Tinsky Black & Tan ASP 2006

    Hello all. I am Ray Rideout, I am currently a Staff Sergeant in the WVARNG. I started smoking pipes in Iraq as a relaxation thing. I look forward to reading and learning from the more experienced smokers. I will also post blogs, but I don't expect them to be read. They will be me just blowing off steam. Well I hope everyone enjoys their smokes and we will be seeing ya.

    A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way you look forward to the trip.

    Greetings. I just joined today.

    A little about me: I have a small collection of Savinelli pipes, and a couple by other makers. I'm not really into fancy pipes, I just like a good briar in a shape I like.

    I goes back and forth between aromatics and non-aromatics. Some of my current favorites are Milan Sunset Rum and Sangria, and Boswell Penn. Dutch Treat, along with a couple of non-aromatic favorites.

    My latest experiment was blending McC Three Cherry with 1-Q (half-and-half) to reduce the cherry flavor just a little. The jury is still out on that one.

    Anyway, I'm glad to be a part of the forum and look forward to getting to know the folks here.

    I just joined this morning and look forward to being in the group. I noticed that I have already picked up three new friends but I am at a lost to figure out how they knew that I had just joined. At any rate, thanks for the welcome.

    I've been collecting and smokking pipes for over forty years now and just picked up pipes 105 through 110 at the Chicago show. My first visit to the Chicago show and I must say it was most impressive.

    I'm been a member of Smokers Forum for several years and imagine many of you folks here are also members there.

    Welcome Dave,

    I think quite a few of us "touch base" several times a day.
    I know I would love to see your collection.
    So, post those pics, and dive right in.
    If you need some help.... just ask.
    Send us a Private Message or start a string.
    There are a several hints at the top of the Forum.

    We're glad to have you.

    Hello. My name is Tyler, I'm in Fredericksburg, VA. I've been smoking a pipe since I graduated high school (1997), when a friend of mine was trying to buy me some cherry cigars to celebrate, and accidentally bought me some cherry pipe tobacco. My Grandfather smokes a pipe, and I loved the way his house smells, so I figured I'd go with it, and bought myself a Dr. Grabow pipe, and have enjoyed it ever since. Admittedly, I'm still a n00b after 13 years, I only smoke a few ounces a year (usually on camping trips or Jeep trail rides). My pipes are all cheap ($15 or less), but I keep them clean and rotate them often (often enough, anyway). I bought my first tin of tobacco just the other day (as opposed to an ounce of loose tobacco), and was looking up reviews on it (CAO's Eileen's Dream), and that's how I stumbled upon this site. As a n00b, I don't spend too much money on pipes/paraphernalia yet, I feel like it might be wasted on me until I learn a bit more. I have the same philosophy about cigars and wine, now that I think about it. But maybe if I'm more involved in a smoking community, I'll learn more and I'll get out there and try some new things.

    Anyway, thanks for the welcome (I have 4 or 5 "friends" already!), and I look forward to learning a lot more about pipes and pipe smoking.

    Hello boys,

    I've had an account for a while but never really reached out into the community. I'm married to a dude named Shaun who is on this site but I still can't find his supposed account. He restores pipes and I tout them here.

    I'm 28 years old and last year we finalized the adoption of our 3 gorgeous children! Since then I've been on and offline visiting doctors who have finally come to a conclusion that I have lupus and fibromyalgia. Now that THAT is out of the way, I can continue on with my obsessions - books, art, pipes, and decorating. Every now and again, I pass wisdom on to the little people.

    I'm glad to see the site doing so well and hopefully I'll have my profile set to my liking soon.
