Hello, all. I came in from smoking my first bowl in about 15 years last night, and immediately started searching for pipe smoking forums because after that bowl I knew I was going to continue.
I smoked a pipe for about 10 years. Built up a nice little collection. Had a few tins of 1998 (I think) Christmas Cheer that had been aging for several years, and some Dunbar, which was my daily smoke. All of it went up in a fire, ironically enough. It wasn't even my fire. It was the guy next door's fire. Anyway, I was so disgusted and heartsick (my perfect-for-me 1954 Dunhill! my beloved little Stanwell pot! the Amadeus that got me started! all gone!), I just kind of walked away.
I don't know why, but for whatever reason I decided to pick it up again. I ordered a couple of pipes and a small variety of tobaccos (Dunbar is gone, too!), both non-aromatic and aromatic, just to see what I liked if anything, and last night I sat down for my first bowl in 15 years. That was all it took. Yup. I'm back.
Anyway, that's my story. Nice to meet you all.
