Briar brother beginner from Long Island,NY

[Frog Morton]

I am new to the world of pipe smoking and so far enjoy it immensly. It is frustrating in the beginning to learn how to tamp (how often?), packing apipe, puffing ratio(cadence?)etc...
All of my fellow briar brothers have been soo welcoming and informative with their knowledge and wisdom. I find pipe smokng to be a form of reflection or meditation forcing you to slow down to take a "time out" from the daily stresses of life.

Welcome to the forum! May I also echo the words of Riff Raff and urge you to join us at a meeting of the New York Pipe Club when you can make it into the big city! I think you'd have a blast!

Enjoy your time in the forum it is a great one.
