    I smoke outside...

    I rent also, so I smoke outside. It's been pretty chilly here the last few days in Pine Mountain, Ga. and I have to go out for smoke breaks when I'm working in Columbus. I'm thinking about investing in an air purifier so I can maybe smoke in the house.

    My first pipe

    I've Been smoking the "doublegate" tobacco I got from the B&M and really enjoy it. I'm starting to get the knack of lighting and tamping and it has been a great experience.

    Small pipe cabinet purchase-pics now there

    It's a little over 10" high with locking beveled glass door. Has holders for 2 pipes in back. Has a 3 1/2" diameter spot for I guess a tobacco jar or round tin. It's about 5 1/2" deep I believe.

    Welcome New Members. Introduce Yourself. (2)

    Hi all, I'm from Pine Mountain, Ga. I'm 54 years old and haven't smoked a pipe in like 20 years. I've decided that it's time to drop the cigarette habit and start with the pipe. I don know where to start but am going to visit the smoke shop tomorrow and try to get a clue.
