    Hello from New Mexico

    First of all, my favorite bumper sticker from around here....New Mexico. It ain't new and it ain't Mexico. I have smoked a pipe off and on for 10 years and I am drawn back to it again with all the craziness in the world around me. I have a 24 pipe collection built up over that 10 years. Even...
