Hello Briar patch,
I just wanted to take a second to introduce myself, my name is John I'm a 31 year old Husband and father of 2 little kids. We live just outside of Philadelphia in a populated suburb where pipe smokers are few and far between. Im sure like many of you guys on here I grew up around pipe smokers, my father and grandfather smoked pipes and cigars so from a young age I had an appreciation or better yet a fascination with pipes. I started smoking a pipe on a daily basis back in 2011, right around the time the youtube pipe community started to come into its own. I was able to learn a lot from youtube in those early days especially how to combat tongue bite and I worked through all the beginner mistakes that one may have learned hanging around there local pipe shop back when nearly every adult male smoked a pipe. I've never really been a "member" of a forum and this seems like another great resource to learn and talk about this hobby that we all hold in such high regard, so here I'am. Sorry for the long winded introduction but I thought I should give some background on myself before I started posting and commenting.
