Good Morning, Everyone! I'm Russ, a long lost member who hasn't posted on the forum for a number of years. Since then, I've had my right hip and left knee replaced with my left hip scheduled for replacement in another month or two. Ahhh....but I can still smoke a pipe and that's what really matters. I know some of the members here and I'm looking forward to being a regular participant again. I smoke VA Flake tobaccos in pipes ranging from England and Sweden to Italy along with some MM cobs. I hope to get to know more of you folks over time and thanks for having me here once more!

adding welcome back Russ, do recall you. Only heavy latakia blends for long time now, all pipes with lucite stems, too old to bother with vulcanite cleanup. Widower since last March, smoke what I want, whenever I want including cigar.

I remember you Russ, and your Avatar has not aged a bit! Thanks, Charlie! Me ol' mug hasn't changed much, but that what's under the hat is all silver and thin. |

Welcome back from "The Tarheel State" Thanks, Mike! I remember the western mountains of NC fondly having backpacked there a number of times in my younger, thinner days. Beautiful country. |

Welcome back Russ. I believe I joined after you had taken off for unknown parts, but I think I remember you from another forum. The old PSF? Different user name?
