Hellow fellow smokers,
This is my brief background in pipe smoking (tobacco!).? I smoked a pipe for short periods from undergraduate days through present.? Usually it was when I had a little time to fiddle around in my life, as smoking takes a little bit of fiddling.? This would also coincide with a time when I would be at a location suitable for pondering and meditating, e.g. at the docks or in the mountains.? I just had a simple Dr. Grabow pipe and a big bag of cheap cavendish.? In the summer of? 2007, while on an excursion with my dear friend Mehmet, we happened across a smoke shop in Littleton VT.? It was here that I? gained an appreciation for straight tobacco (e.g. Dunbar by Dunhill) and quality made pipes (e.g. Savinelli).? Thus my love affair with pipe smoking took off.? These are my chronicles of pipes and tobacco.
