Hello from just outside Kansas City, Missouri. These introduction posts are always a challenge; it's always hard to steer a path between saying too much and too little. So, a quick sketch of myself:
I've been smoking pipes on and off 9mostly off) for about 16 years. I've recently returned to the hobby because I'm finally almost old enough to smoke a pipe in public without looking like a kid trying on daddy's clothes, and because I'm trying to abandon the cigarette habit. (Trading a terrible vice for a less harmful and more pleasant one). I've also recently discovered the joys of cobs and of English blends.
I have about a dozen briars, and favour Petersons and Brebbias.
On the non-tobacco front, I have been an educator, a Marine, a reporter, an NucBioChem defence specialist for the Air Force Reserve, and currently work in IT.
