Hello everyone, thanks for having me. My name is Marc and I first tried pipe smoking in the mid 70's as a young sailor in the Navy, bought a white Dr.Grabow billiard off the display board in a local drug store and some cherry blend tobaccos to get started. I was really excited, as there were other sailors on my ship who smoked pipes and talked up pipe smoking big time and I wanted to be an old salt like them. Needless to say, pipe smoking in my early Navy days was short lived, started smoking cigarettes and dipping tobacco instead. I never gave pipe smoking another thought until a few years ago while standing in line at a drug store checkout I noticed some corn cob pipes hanging on a peg board behind the register and thought to myself, corn cob pipes, really? curiosity was killing me so I bought one, I've been smoking cobs ever since, no regrets. Today I enjoy smoking the old time burley blends like Carter Hall, Sir Walter Raleigh, Prince Albert and Granger. I also enjoy the occasional bowl of C&D Cube Cut Burley. If it's a cob and burley, I'll smoke it!

If he was as sick as he claimed he would certainly be dead by now. He had me feeling sorry for him him for years, but I got over it. |
