Hey mike, I am in Nashville usually once a month! Welcome to the forums!
Welcome aboard Mike. Hope to see lots of posts in our many strings here.
Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes. I knew this would be a great place!!
Father Ron, I do get to Uptowns on occasion. It's a neat place full of great things. I will be sure to look everyone up and tell them hello from you next time I'm there.
This chart helped me with the different shape classifications of pipes....FYI
Welcome to all of our new members! Be sure to post pics of your pipes and your stash!

Welcome to this the friendliest forum on the web.
Lawrence I fell so un-special now
Haha....
Hello all,
Glad to join the community. I'm a professor for Penn State up here in Erie, PA. We have a dedicated undergraduate college that does a pretty good job of keeping class sizes low, research opportunities and the like.
I was trained in a lab where my advisor smoked a pipe. Never had anything more than his one pipe (probably dime-store bought) and his big tub of "Captain Black". I worked for him for almost 10 years. It was after a few years of cigars when out with my friends (during the cigar resurgence in the late 90s) that I realized, "why not a pipe"? As I was writing my thesis, I used to fire up a bowl or Aston or CAO and it became a relaxing, enjoyable endeavor. He retired and even after the smoking bans in the building, no one could bring themselves to make him stop in his own office. To this day he shows up (emeritus) to his old office with the pipe and tub of the Captain.
Now I enjoy my pipes (nothing extraordinary in artisanship or price) 3-4 times a week outside watching my kids play or sitting on the riding mower. My wife loves the aroma.
Hi, I'm daveinlax a Wisconsin pipe collector. I came to pipes from cigars about 25 some years ago. I am in my mid/late 40's and got into pipe boards and chats in the early 90's and I still read most of them daily.
The collection has gone through many phases over the years Dunhill Pat's, Danish/German, NAC's some Charatan and Barling. Right now I am concentrating on building my Castello shapes 15 and 30 and my pride and joy Epoca collection. Larger Dunhill in a variety of shapes and finishes Gr 6, oda and HTXL Collectors.
Light English blends are what I smoke, mostly bulk EMP and now AMP but I will go a bit heavier on occasion smoking Crown Achievement or PSBS.
Welcome aboard guys. Can't wait to see many posts from both of you.Great story kopernicus, Hope to see some pics of your pipe collection.
Hi everyone!
I was so happy to win these 2 beauties on ebay!

In this pipe is Dunhill's My Mixture 965 and THAT is why I'm smiling!

Trying to look cool with my Cristiani giant...
Here's a few of my daily players....
Welcome Daveinlax,
Those are beautiful Bronx,
And welcome to you Kopernicus, I believe you will enjoy being here more than the Penn State team enjoyed their stay down here yesterday.
That was a great story about one of those special people that we all admire and respect.
Now I enjoy my pipes (nothing extraordinary in artisanship or price) 3-4 times a week outside watching my kids play or sitting on the riding mower.
Again welcome to the fraternity guys, we all look forward to your posts and pictures.
Congratulations Bronx, beautiful grain on both of them.
Awesome...(keep those pictures coming....!!)
My new (estate) Castello 4K:

This estate poker I picked up smokes beautifully:
Where I get my pipe-smoking genes: My great-grandfather John Sokol. (died 1973). A Russian Orthodox Carpatho-Rusyn immigrant from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I was fortunate to know him.
Hi, Bronx,
Being a Carpatho-Rusyn Catholic priest, I have to ask: what part of the country did your family settle in? We ended up in the Coal Region of NE PA.
Welcome to the newest members!
Hello everyone.
I enjoy many different briar pipes and it is hard to name my favorites. Of the roughly 100 pipes, I have a number of Castellos, Winslows, Danish Ben Wades, Lee von Ercks, and Stanwells. I do have 2 meers.
My tobacco choices are pretty wide - VA, VaPer, and Latakias. I sometimes hit some burleys.
I also dabble in pipe making.
ByzCath: hello Father! My great-grandparents settled in southwestern PA in the Monongahela Valley...West Brownsville, PA right on the river. Nice to meet you here.
Welcome boboakley hope to see some pics of those pipes. Jump right in with posts on the many threads that are here, or start some of your own.
Greetings one and all.
I am a pipe smoking American trucker. I spend all of my time on the road hauling large trucks and machinery all over the country. That allows the opportunity to visit tobacconist shops all over, which I greatly enjoy.
I've been visiting the magazine site for quite a while but hadn't actually signed up until now.
My favorite pipes, at present, are Petersons although I own several Savinellis, Dr. Grabows, and a few others including several meerschaums.
My favorite tobaccos tend to be English blends although I do smoke a few others as well. My favorite OTC blends are Captain Black White and Carter Hall.
My overall favorite blend and the one I smoke most often is Uhle's Bishop's Move.
Glad to have you pipetrucker. Hope to see many of your posts and pics soon.
Welcome Pipetrucker,
We have a couple of retired truckers here.
We're glad to have you aboard.
I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures and your posts.
We have a string for photos of the local B&M Pipe Shoppes from around the country.
It would be great if you could posts pictures of those shoppes that we members have never seen.
Welcome to the fraternity!
Welcome...where do you find Bishop's Move tobacco?

Welcome Boboakley and Pipetrucker!
Kopernicus, nice story about your advisor. Wish I could smoke in my office like him and pipetrucker. Welcome to you both.
Welcome aboard daveninlax and boboakley.
Thanks for the welcome, gentlemen.
Bishop's Move is a house blend from Uhle's Pipe Shop in Milwaukee, WI. They have a website but ordering is done via telephone as they prefer to provide more personal service. I buy it from them in person whenever I can get into Milwaukee.
Greetings.
My name is Jon, I'm twenty some odd years young in Grand Rapids. Been smoking a pipe for a little over three years and truly enjoy the hobby.
I have 45ish pipes. Some beauts, some crummy baskets, and everything in between.
I like most all tobaccos, my mood most often determines my favorite tobacco at that time.
My knowledge of pipes and tobacco has expanded tenfold over the past three years but still novice in comparison to many; I'm looking forward to expanding on that knowledge here.
