Hello from Chattanooga

[dpkrause]

New pipe smoker here. Been smoking a pipe for about a year now. Enticed by friend to start this hobby. Started off with a horrifyingly bad basket pipe that had the worst draw. It is amazing I stuck with it. Next was a cheap estate find Dr. Grabow that had a stinger. It was huge improvement. I finally spent some time researching and bought a DiMonte Smooth Bent Brandy and a Bjarne Handmade Smooth Bent Apple for decent intro price. The DiMonte is now my favorite pipe. It all but smokes itself.
Got a Peterson Harp 408 on the way. Interesting story on that one, but I will save that for later.
Still got a learning about tobacco. Just ordered myself a bunch of samples from Boswell's. It has been quite the pleasure trying the various blends.
Anyone else in the Chattanooga area? Maybe we can meet up at The Honest Pint and share a smoke.

Based upon your Avatar it appears that you can actually smoke your pipe inside of a bar in your neck of the woods. For that I reason alone I don't like you am very jealous.

Thanks for the welcome. If you are ever in my neck of the woods, drop me a line and I will show you some great places to enjoy a pipe, indoors and outside.

Welcome. I'm not in the area, but would love to join you for a pint and a pipe if I were. Enjoy trying all your samples. It's a WIDE world of tobacco out there, which makes it all the more fun.

Hello and Welcome to the BoB forum.

 

[dpkrause]

Thanks again for the welcome. In my short time on this board, I have found it very helpful, and maybe a little too inspirational. You guys feed the PAD/TAD need and then I end up spending money. I guess I will just have to live it.
Seriously, if anyone is ever in the Chattanooga are drop me a message and we can meet up for a pipe.
