Hello! Cramptholomew sent me here after we spoke a few weeks ago about pipes. I had been thinking about trying it again as I tried once when I was around 20 and was young and impatient. Now in my mid-thirties, I have learned to slow down and take time to relax and that good things cannot be rushed. So it was great timing my friend here mentioned pipes to me. I asked him a few questions and went on to spend hours each day reading material and watching YouTube. A few weeks in I continue to read for hours at a time and my collection currently stands at just over ten pipes and three cases of pint jars full of tobacco blends. I have another case of half pint jars too that are full of blends I am currently smoking that I have found to be ones I like the most so I don’t have to keep opening up the larger jars. The only sad thing I have found so far is that there are apparently blends that have recently disappeared that were much loved and there are more that will go away soon. Still, I’m pretty happy with my new hobby/lifestyle and that I can finally start to appreciate what I couldn’t when I was younger. It's been a busy July.  |

Thanks! I figured I spent the past few weeks reading and learning, now with all I have invested I might as well go all in.  |
